 Today we're going to try and take apart a creative D100 Bluetooth speaker I'm gonna get into the whole Unscrewing thing here in a little bit. I'll show you I have to switch over to a top-down Camera that I'm I have in another location, but we have this creative D100. I don't know if you can hear it here but There's something inside either a piece fell off or somebody I won't name names But somebody little might have stuck something into this base reflex hole in the back and there's no way Obviously that to open this there's no screws visible and we did some research online This this D100 is probably ten years old. They probably sold a couple hundred thousand of them So there's people out there that probably have these things that might want to take them apart and hopefully my little video here Will help them but a lot of people say use a glue gun to undo this fabric the fabric is really it's not only aesthetic But it's also keeps dust out and keeps people from poking the speakers, which are right in here They use a glue gun and they rip the fabric off, which you'll never get back on But there's eight screw holes here is one two three Four, you know five six seven eight and I'm gonna try and figure out a way To either burn a hole where the screw Chambers are or use a slight razor blade because I don't really need to take the screws out I just have to unscrew them from their you know receptacle there and they can be out They're just loose inside underneath the fabric and then I'll be able to take this cover off and see what's going on inside I can there fix it now a lot of people might have to solder a new wire inside something might have gone bad You know there's something called a cold solder joint that when the solder joint just goes bad and no longer is Conductive you can just either reheat it just dab the soldering iron on the cold solid solder joiner add a little more solder and you can re Activate the the connection, but I'm gonna take this out I'm gonna find out what's making this really annoying rattling sound because it just sounds cheap when there's something rattling So but like I said this thing works. I just want to once and for all look inside to find what it's out So let's see what it's all about Okay, NJ route 22 here, and we're gonna try and fix this Creative D 100 Speaker now there's nothing wrong with it actually there's just something inside I want to get it out. It's really annoying. So what you have here is you have eight screws most people on YouTube basically Well, they didn't know what to do and if you they used a heat gun to pull this speaker fabric off Or some people actually just took a knife and cut it off. I don't want to do either heat gun is too involved and About the only thing I would do is use a razor blade to cut it off. I want to keep the the mesh on it keeps the speakers From being poked there's some protection there So there's eight screws one two three four and then there's one two three four I was gonna mark them off, but I'm gonna take a razor blade Here's the tools I have I have a Power drill to unscrew the screws and I'll just leave them in there behind the fabric because I'll just be able to Feel it out and screw them back in I got pliers just in case I need I have a more precision Screwdriver I have a flat head just in case I need to do some prying and I have my razor blade Which I'm gonna do now And I'm gonna live on the air cut the little slits in it. This is it's gonna cut little slits Just a little bit slits like big enough to get the screwed screwdriver through so I'm just gonna take a razor blade Oops, I don't care if I end up mashing it up and like I said the speaker actually works. I just want to get rid of the Wait a minute These aren't screw holes It looks like I'm gonna have to take them in tire thing. I maybe it's only four screws. These aren't screw holes All right change of plans. I'm actually just gonna take a razor and cut the whole entire grill off I really don't care at this point. I just want to get that annoying thing Off I don't care if it's ripped Although I probably am gonna regret this because this speaker isn't being made anymore So I just ruined the speaker whatever. I really don't care There are no screw holes in it. What a drag I just ruined the damn speaker Just to look inside. Well, it's haste for you. Whatever So now you have this freaking thing in the middle and this is probably where you need the glue gun Maybe that's where it pop just pops out. You never know. Well, whatever you live and learn So I ripped the whole damn cover off. There's no screws at all So I look like an idiot That's fine. I'm gonna try and pry it open. You never know Now look at that. It just pops right out. I should have done that to begin with So these are just held in by little Plugs I could have just popped it open without doing anything, but I guess there's something under here I'm not even gonna bother using a glue gun because I don't mean a heat gun So it's obviously something Behind here holding it together. This is how I do things. I just try and figure it out. Oh, it does pop out It's just glue. That's how you get it out. And there was some sort of Grippy things here as you could see that hold it in you stick it in and then Wait a minute. I guess this is Blue tooth wireless. This is like a wireless connector. I don't see any wires here So it's held together with little plastic clamps, which I broke one of it appears. I broke one right here So this thing is freaking ruined, but you need this control panel here This is the control panel. I guess it's wireless when you turn it on it sends wireless signals because there's no metal contacts anywhere These are just buttons. Oh wait, here's the buttons. So it's not wireless my bad This these just push these buttons here and they use hot glue that should have been the way to do it Oh, well, so I guess I don't need my power screwdriver after so I'm gonna take this old glue off And now there are indeed. I'm gonna get my flashlight If I have one here, this is too bright for this use here, but oh shit Are you fucking kidding me? I rolled over my wire for my That's why anyway, here we go There are indeed eight screws there So I still have to take it apart to get inside So I did pretty much destroyed the speaker says Looking there are Four more screws six more screws I feel like such an idiot this one's too far down I need a very long Phillips head to get those out. I'm gonna do that. I need a longer Screwdriver, I'm gonna do this. It's like I'm gonna buy myself a new Bluetooth Speaker one of these days All these screws are out now one two three. I really am the worst YouTube fixer up or sometimes Sure how to get these so I can sort of get it out, but I need these other two guys to be Unscrewed and I really need a fine. So I'm like, I'll be right back. I'm gonna get a manual tool Okay, I'm back. I lost audio in the Second clip here, but here's the money shot. The money shot is that we found a little alligator Inside the speaker and that was exciting for us. I have to say now it doesn't rattle But the rest of the clip is me putting the Speaker back together again I have to say that I'm a little pissed that I didn't think Harder about it and made the assumption that there were four screws directly underneath the What do you call it the fabric the speaker of fabric? Whatever you call that stuff? But I guess in the end I liked exploring things and we have the ability to learn from our mistakes and What do you call it put put these Knowledge the knowledge that we gained in this into future Experiments hopefully we don't make the same mistake again, but I really don't care It's need to look at the bright side, you know now it looks cool. You see a speaker. Whatever. It's like a it's worth Ten bucks. I think online you can I can buy another one if I felt like it, but the thing works and that's that Maybe one day we'll buy Another Bluetooth speaker if we have extra money, but I'll do a little ending here in the studio In the end, I'm actually kind of mad at myself I'm not it's not the end of the world as the products the speaker still works But I wasn't mindful enough to realize like how stupid could I be that they would put screws underneath the fabric so I ended up destroying the fabric because I just wasn't thinking and In the end I think I mean I really don't care. I didn't want to use a heat gun anyway So this was probably the ultimate end result, but if you wanted to keep it looking good Use a heat gun shoot it towards the middle here It'll melt the or soften the glue and just use a screwdriver to pry it out. So that's it Maybe you can learn from my mistake if you like hit the subscribe and like and all that and I'll see you next video
