Introduction
The speakers are the part of the laptop that provides audio when an audio device is not plugged in. If the Chromebook has a non-functioning speaker, no sound will be produced from the laptop when a video is playing.
Before beginning, make sure the Chromebook is disconnected from any external power source; then press and hold the power button for at least five seconds prior to dismantling in order to release any stored energy that could potentially be harmful.
What you need
