Samsung Epix Speakers Replacement

Introduction

The sound system of a phone is integral to its functionality; if the audio playing through your Samsung Epix (also known as the Samsung Mirage or Samsung SGH-i907) is distorted or cannot be heard at all, your speaker is likely damaged and needs replacement.

Some ways to determine if the speakers are the problem instead of another factor include:

1. Hearing crackling, buzzing, scratching, or distorted sound when playing audio

2. Volume irregularities (ex: sounding lower than usual)

3. Testing your volume within the setting systems of the phone with no avail (make sure your ringer in on when you try this)

Ensure your phone is disconnected from any external power source and completely powered down before you begin.
