    Introduction: A soldering iron, Daan Jacobs and ECM

    The Jamo speakers sound about right but not sure about Commissioner though. I was on the floor in their Menlyn branch around '97-'00 if my memory serves... They had a couple of branches back then.

    Who can do a Sony WF-1000XM4 battery replacement in Gauteng?

There's a tiny ribbon cable that needs to be disconnected, and after that the 2 pcb's need to clipped apart for access to the battery...
