Introduction

Muffled or no sound from the laptop can indicate broken speakers. Review these steps for fixing audio problems in Windows before replacing the entire speaker assembly.

There are no special skills needed for this guide and you will need a Phillips #0 screwdriver, a Phillips #00 screwdriver, a T5 screwdriver, and plastic opening tools. Keep any debris or liquids away from the computer while replacing the speakers because the internal components of the laptop will be exposed.

What you need

Step 1

              Back Case

Power off the laptop and place it facedown on a non-scratching surface.
Remove the nine T5 screws fastening the back case.
