This procedure assumes that you have removed the palmrest assembly from the
base assembly and that you have removed the hard-disk drive heat shield and
touch pad assembly. To remove the speakers, follow these steps (see Figure 4-34):
1. Remove any tape securing the speaker cables.
2. Remove the three 4-mm screws securing the left speaker cover.
NOTE: Before removing the speaker cables and wire harness, be sure to
note their routing through the slots and pins so you can correctly reinstall
the components.
3. Remove the left speaker cover, speaker, and speaker cable.
4. Remove the speaker wire harness.
5. Remove the two 4-mm screws securing the right speaker cover.
6. Remove the right speaker cover, speaker, and speaker cable.
The display latch is no longer secured by the speaker covers. Be careful not
to lose the spring.
7 . Remove the display latch and spring.
To replace the speaker, resolder the speaker cable to the new speaker.
When reinstalling the speakers, be especially careful to route the speaker
cables and speaker wire harness through the appropriate slots and pins.
