Beats Solo 3 Left Hinge Replacement

Giriş

This guide explains how to replace the left hinge of the Beats by Dre Solo3 headphones. The model number of these headphones is A1796. A faulty hinge is one of the leading causes that render these headphones unusable. Although the hinge is a simple component of the headphones, this repair is not for the light-hearted and will definitely take some time and technical skill to complete.

Required special skills:

  • Soldering/desoldering the wires
  • Screwing/unscrewing the screws

Note:

  • Using a plastic or nylon pry tool is highly recommended when taking apart the device to ensure no damages occur.
  • Before beginning, make sure to power off your headphones completely and disconnect from any external power source.
  • Be extremely cautious when working around the wires because if they are nicked or damaged during the repairing process the device will no longer be useable and is a fire hazard.
  • For more information on soldering, refer to this How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide.
