Sony WF-1000XM4 repairability

iFixit has separate guides for the charging-case cell and each earbud cell. The earbud guide treats left and right buds as symmetrical for battery service.

Repair documentation
The iFixit guide replaces one WF-1000XM4 earbud cell and says the same steps apply to the other side.

The case and earbuds have separate cells and procedures.

Earbud batteries

The iFixit guide replaces one WF-1000XM4 earbud cell and says the same steps apply to the other side. An overheated bud or incomplete charge may need earbud-level work rather than a case battery.

Charging case

A separate guide covers the case battery when the case fails to hold charge or its status LED behaves unexpectedly. Distinguishing case and earbud symptoms matters before opening either small enclosure.
