Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 is a 14-inch business laptop available with either 12th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors, mainly marketed for professional use. Key features include fast storage up to a Gen 4 SSD, Wi-Fi 6, and a range of ports including USB-C.
This guide shows how to replace the internal speakers in your device. Before you start, make sure that you have compatible speakers for replacement.
Never work on any device that is plugged into power cords or outlets. Always be sure that your device is powered off and unplugged before opening it up and making repairs.

Insert an opening pick into the seam near the hinges.
-
Working from the hinges to the front, gently pry apart the back of the device from the main body.
-
-
-
Carefully lift the loosened panel away from the laptop. The metal spudger is useful when extra prying force is needed, but a black nylon spudger or iFixit opening tool should be used whenever possible.

Remove all five 5mm screws from the battery using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Using the fabric tag, disconnect the battery cables from their port inside the device.

Unplug the speaker wires from the motherboard using a pair of tweezers.

-
Lift the protective foil from the wires—this is to prevent the battery from making direct contact and damaging them.
-
-
-
Remove one speaker and begin unhooking the cord; you can begin with either one. Pull the wires carefully; they are woven between plastic dividers to keep them from tangling and it may be a tight fit in some spots.
-
Remove the second speaker.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
