Introduction

Before using this guide, check the speaker for blockage that may be interfering with the sound. Usually, dust and debris can be cleared by a small dust blower. Make sure to check that the volume is not muted to confirm it needs replacing.

To begin this guide, check that the Chromebook’s power is off and it’s disconnected from any power source.
