Schritt 5

Remove the lid on top of the subwoofer.
Flip the device over and let the subwoofer fall into your hand.
The subwoofer is a strong magnet. Keep it away from any other electronics and unshielded wires.

I found the subwoofer was lightly adhered to the case, and didn’t “fall into” my hand until I very gently separated its edge with the point of a spudger.

Flip the device over while supporting the front panel side.
Remove the front panel cover by lifting it.
