Thanks, but I have one big question. I removed the back cover, but I still have no idea how to remove the white plastic frame that covers the outer edge of the speakers. In your guide, it just seems to magically disappear.

Suggestion….add the necessary step of removing the frame that covers the left speaker. If you follow the instructions in this guide, you will not be able to access and remove the left speaker, which is critical considering the on off and volume switches are integral to the speaker.
