Asus Q504UA-BHI5T13 Speaker Replacement

Introduction

Speakers would need to be removed if the user wanted to upgrade their current speakers or if the current speakers are not functioning properly. Before thinking about removing the speakers, check the settings to make sure the volume is on as the volume may have been too low.

The battery must be removed prior to the speakers. When removing the speakers, handle them as well as the wire stringing them together with care.
