Description: This guide will show you how to replace the...

Begin by powering off the device and flipping the device over.
Carefully remove the two longer 9.5 mm screws on the corners with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
Remove the eight 7.5 mm Phillips #1 screws on the back of the device.

Use an opening pick to separate the back cover from the device.
For easiest removal, begin by prying at one of the front corners and sliding the tool under the cover in a counter-clockwise motion (to the left) toward the laptop hinge.

Once the cover has been separated from the device, carefully lift the back cover off the device (begin by lifting from the front of the cover first).
The back cover should be easily removable, allowing full access to all of the internal components.

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 2.6 mm screws that hold the speakers in place.

To disconnect the speaker cable, try pushing on alternating sides of the connector, like small sliding connectors.
If that doesn't work, use a pair of tweezers to firmly grip the sides of the connector and pull straight away from the socket. Hold the tweezers closer to the connector to get a better grip.
If you're having trouble, try rocking the connector side-to-side to loosen it.
To reconnect the cable, insert the connector into its socket and push on the edges until it's fully seated.

Lift the speakers away from the laptop along with the wire that connects the two speakers.
Make sure to detach the cable from the cable hooks along the edge of the laptop to avoid damaging the speakers or the speaker cable.
