Introduction

Properly working speakers should play audio with no distortion to the sound. A faulty speaker will transmit distorted audio or no audio at all.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect from any external power source. Overall, this is a relatively simple repair that does not require advanced technical skills.

What you need

Step 1

              Back Panel               

• Position the laptop so that the bottom panel is facing upwards, the hinge is away from you, and the ASUS logo is against the table.
• It will be easier to replace the battery if the laptop is closed.

• Insert the iFixit opening tool in between the back panel and the rest of the laptop.
• With the iFixit opening tool, lift the panel from the laptop body. Work your way around the device creating separation with the tool.
• Once there is enough separation between the back panel and the device, gently pull off the back panel with your hands and completely remove it.
• Make sure to use a plastic tool, not a metal one, so that you don’t scratch the panel.
