the battery is very difficult to remove, there is too much adhesive tape on the back. I had to do an internal cleaning because my son put some fruit juice inside and because of that there was no sound coming from the LeapPad, after a deep cleaning with alcohol it worked fine again.

Very nice guide, but I am confused. Do you have to buy a new speaker to put in the device if you are removing the old one?
