Replace BObi Pet's Speaker

bObi Pet's speaker alerts you when she starts working, stops, or has an error. If bObi Pet is being much more quiet than usual, a speaker replacement is a quick fix that only requires a Phillips head screwdriver and a new speaker.

Step 1: Turn BObi Pet Off

Before we get started, turn bObi Pet OFF and flip her over onto a flat surface.

Next, remove bObi Pet's dustbin. Grip the small tab on the back of the bin, and pull to remove.

Step 2: Remove the Front Wheel

Grip the front wheel and pull straight up, using the screwdriver for leverage.

The wheel will pop out and you will see two screws beneath it.

There is a larger screw set deeper in the wheel compartment.

Use the screwdriver to remove it. (Highlighted Blue)

Remember to keep all screws and parts removed from bObi Pet safely aside during the repair. They may be needed for re-assembly.

Step 3: Remove the Dustbin Holders

Remove the screws on both sides of bObi Pet’s dustbin. Then, remove the corner pieces that were held down by the screws and keep them aside for reassembly.

Grip the brush compartment and pull down to reveal two screws on a red fastener. Remove them with the screwdriver.

Step 4: Detach the Main Brush Compartment

Pull the brush compartment up until the fastener is freed from bObi Pet. Then, detach the brush compartment's circuit plug and set it aside.

Remove the four screws located beneath the brush compartment.

Step 5: Remove the Cover Screws

Remove the two screws on the dustbin’s red fastener.

Remove the fastener and set it aside for reassembly.

The cover is no longer secured, so carefully flip bObi Pet onto her wheels.

Step 6: Detach the Cover

Lift the cover to reveal the main board underneath.

Remove the two circuit plugs connecting the lid to the mainboard. There is one with white wires, and one with yellow wires that should be disconnected.

bObi Pet's cover is entirely separated. Put the lid aside and you're ready to remove the speaker.

Step 7: Remove the Speaker

bObi Pet’s speaker is located on top of her front wheel. Remove the two screws securing the speaker onto bObi and keep these screws close by for later reassembly.

Then, disconnect the small circuit plug on the top of the mainboard, near the front wheel.

The speaker will fall out of place underneath bObi Pet.

Step 8: Place a New Speaker

Remove bObi Pet’s speaker from underneath her.

Place the new speaker in the empty space with the wires poking through the opening in bObi Pet.

Step 9: Secure the Speaker

Then, reattach the circuit plug to the main board. Re-install the two screws and you’re ready to close the cover.

You will have to hold the speaker from underneath to align the screws with the screw posts on the speaker.

When it's secure, you're ready to close bObi Pet.

Step 10: Reconnect the Cover

Attach the two circuit plugs from bObi Pet's cover back onto her main board.

The yellow-wired plug connects to the right side of the mainboard. (Highlighted Yellow)

The white-wired plug on bObi Pet’s lid connects to the middle of the mainboard. (Highlighted White)

Step 11: Align the Cover's Edges

Lay down bObi Pet's cover and line up the edges precisely.

While holding bObi Pet's top and bottom together, carefully flip her over onto a flat surface.

Step 12: Replace the Front Wheel

Reinstall the front wheel’s screw.

Then, place the front wheel on top and firmly push down to secure it.

Step 13: Secure BObi Pet's Cover

Replace the dustbin’s red fastener and install its 2 screws.

Install the 4 screws in the space beneath the brush compartment.

Step 14: Replace the Main Brushes

Plug in the brush compartment.

Then, replace its red brush fastener and install the 2 screws.

Step 15: Replace the Dustbin Holders

Position the brush compartment back in its original place on bObi Pet.

Now reinsert the corner pieces on both sides of the dustbin, with the arms of the brush attachment linked.

Step 16: Replace BObi Pet's Dustbin

Ensure the rubber strip near bObi Pet's dustbin is not stuck underneath the brush compartment. Then, reinstall the 2 screws in each of the corner pieces.

Make sure the bin can slide in easily before using bObi Pet again. Congratulations on replacing bObi Pets speaker and happy cleaning!
