Speakers acting up? If you’re getting crackling noises or nothing at all, this guide will walk you through swapping them out. Once you’ve tackled the battery steps, you’re in the home stretch.

Step 2
– Slip on an ESD wrist strap around your wrist and clip the grounding clamp to a metal part that’s connected to the ground. This helps prevent static shocks from zapping your device’s sensitive parts. If you need a hand, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 3
– Time to play ‘spot the screws’! Grab a Phillips #1 screwdriver and remove all eleven 5 mm screws holding the back cover in place.
Step 4
– Grab a plastic opening tool and gently work it around the edges to lift off the keyboard panel.
Step 5
– Grab a plastic opening tool and gently pop the ZIF keyboard ribbon cable out of its spot on the motherboard. Easy does it!
Step 6
– Gently pop off the battery connection using nylon-tipped tweezers—easy does it!
Step 7
