Overview
What this part is
The loudspeaker in the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 sits at the bottom of the phone, next to the S Pen slot. It plays ringtones, alerts, music and speakerphone calls. Drops and water can make it crackle, sound quiet or stop working.
Check the phone is not on silent and clean the grille gently first. If sound is still poor, fit the new loudspeaker and test it before closing the phone.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off and remove the SIM tray.
- Warm the back cover to soften the adhesive and lift it off carefully.
- Remove the screws and the lower inner panel.
- Disconnect the battery, then lift out the old loudspeaker.
- Fit the new loudspeaker and reconnect the battery.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Note 9?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Galaxy Note 9 (model SM-N960F). It does not fit the Galaxy Note 8, Note 10, S9+.
Does it fit the Galaxy Note 8?
No. The Note 8 looks similar but has a different internal layout. This part is for the Galaxy Note 9 only.
How do I know the speaker is faulty?
Play music with the volume up and headphones unplugged. If it crackles or is silent after cleaning the grille, the loudspeaker is the likely fault.
Is it made by Samsung?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality loudspeaker made to fit the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The Note 9 back cover is glued on and needs heat to remove, and the battery must be disconnected first.
