Introduction

If the audio from your Lenovo Ideapad Duet 3 Chromebook 11Q727 sounds muffled or distorted and cleaning the external speaker does not resolve the issue, then the speakers themselves may need to be replaced. This guide will detail how to disassemble the device, remove the speakers, and insert replacement speakers.

Remove any accessories such as the detachable keyboard from the device.
Power the device off by pressing and holding the power button for about three seconds.

Edit

Step 2

Insert a spudger into the ridge between the screen and the back of the device, creating a small gap.
Run the spudger along the edge of the screen and around the corners to separate the screen from the rest of the device.
Be careful not to use more force than necessary with the metal spudger or else the device could potentially be scratched.
Do not fully lift or pull the screen away from the device once it is loose because the internal connectors are still attached.
