Does anyone know how to disassemble a Jabra Evolve 65?

"Ear pad / Speaker

Both hinge pins are quite long and look like this:

They fit into holes in the ear pad / speaker assembly. I wouldn’t worry though which side you disassemble first. Though the hole approximately opposite the power switch looks easier to slip onto its pin:

It appears both would be equally difficult to disassemble:

Battery

Any li-po battery with a thermistor (white) lead, approximately the same maH rating and PCM should do. The XINJ LP502035 in my spare parts bin fits a bit too snugly, but works:

Yes, despite the above advice, I managed to break off a pin. :("

"At least for the left ear there is an easier disassembly possible!

1) remove the side (its only connected with three clips). NO screws here (Jabra Evolve 65).

2) use a small screw driver to lift the hole over the pin (see details above) but do so by accessing the hole through the openings now accessible form the outside (see picture)

Using the approach of Christian Kjaer I also broke one pin. No way to open it that way.

I would think at least on a Jabra Evolve 65 the right ear (with mic) is also assembled without screws to hold the side lid.

Added some pictures for comment on how i fixed my issue (see below)"

See if this video helps you tear into it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHEiUoMi...

"I successfully opened the mic side of my Evolve 65 and re-soldered the wire which connects the non-mic side speaker to the circuit board. I used the tool in the picture below to push in the tab which connects to the pin.

See the tab in Picture #2 from Fred Fierling @fff666. I can confirm that this tab is on the ""the front one if you keep the mic on your right"" as Christian Kjaer @fizzyelf said. I think it would be pretty hard to break this tab by pushing it in because it has reinforcement on the backside. If you pull the earpiece as you push in the tab, it will slip off when you pushed the tab far enough.

Good Luck!"

"Kurt,

I am hoping you are still following this - so here is an update on the Evolve 75 - which is what you have on the photo.

Do NOT follow the evolve 65 instructions - I did and broke one of the tabs.

Instead on the OPPOSITE side from the one you are showing on the photo you will notice a small Torx t5 screw.

Unscrew that one, and one that side will popup. The opposite side comes off by lifting up the orange speaker holder slowly to around 30 degrees and it simply unhooks. the speaker wires are very tiny so don’t pull too hard.

the rest of the stuff is held in place with Torx t6 self tapping screws into plastic, INCLUDING the back cover. once you take those off you have access to all boards and wires. -

so that is how to open them up.

Downside - my microphone still does not work, so I suspect I may have broken links from the microswitch to the board - it has a tiny printed links on a tiny capton tape so I may simply solder the microphone directly and mute and unmute with the buttons instead of the boom

Hope this helps - bot sure when I can get some photos - But with the approach above it took me all of 5 minutes to open the boom side of the headset. the other side should be just as easy -and that side is the one with the battery. there is a youtube video on how to replace the battery on Evolve 75 -which is where i got the information on the torx t5 - credits where credit is due."
