Thank you so much! Just fixed my finance’s computer using these directions and I’m a hero!

Amanda M. - Oct 18, 2018

Okay, so I did fix this… But after we booted up the sound stopped working. I was very careful, but maybe knocked something? Any suggestions much appreciated.

Thank you

Check the step where you open the case. There is a cable you need to remove thats holding the case to the laptop. Just link that back to where it was and it should work
