I can't I also can't imagine a world
where my headphone jack and speaker
assembly don't work so today I'm gonna
show you how to replace the headphone
jack and speaker assembly in your moto X
hi I'm Quentin would I fix it and for
this repair you're going to need a sim
eject tool an eye opener plastic opening
tools a spudger and a t3 Torx
screwdriver I have most of the tools I
need in my pro tect tool kit and of
course I have my magnetic mat here I
never do a repair without it remember
this is just an overview so be sure to
check out and follow along with the step
by step guide appropriate to your repair
on ifixit.com before you jump in let's
get started first things first
let's take out the SIM card to do that
you just need to insert a sim eject tool
or a paperclip into the hole on the left
side of the phone now we can work on
getting the back cover off first we're
going to release the clips around the
edges with our opening tool and then hit
it with some heat from our eye opener to
loosen the adhesive pad insert your
opening tool between the front and rear
covers right above where you just took
out the SIM card work your opening tool
around the phone counterclockwise from
this point
when you get to the other side of the
phone you want to be careful around the
buttons the plastic is a little Center
in this area similarly you want to be
careful at the bottom of the phone go
from one corner to the USB port and then
pick up on the other side of the USB
port and go to the opposite corner when
all the clips have been released
you can heat up your eye opener and
place it on the back cover for 90
seconds when you feel the adhesive is
sufficiently heated you can attempt to
pull the back cover from the phone
starting with the SIM card slot but be
careful not to take the cover completely
off as it's still attached
and to detach that cable you just need
the help of your spudger to flip the
retaining flap on the flash cable zip
connector and then using your fingers
just slide the cable out and set your
back panel aside the last two steps are
a cinch start by removing the five t3
Torx screws holding the headphone jack
and speaker assembly in place finally
insert your spudger into the panhandle
of the assembly pry up and lift it from
the phone for reassembly we recommend
