Thanks for the tutorial! But where can i buy replacement speakers? My right speaker is overdriving all the time now, giving me a lot of loud buzz noises.

The same for me. I’d like to replace the speakers because one of them is “crackling/vibrating”, but i don’t know where to buy them…

Hello, i love this laptop and its been my companion for almost 3 years think the audio input jack got grounded because i heard a creaking sound when i inserted a metallic headset jack, the device was charging when it happened. Now the audio output from the audio jack port is like a minus one or somewhat instrumental. Any suggestions what to do?
