    • Use a Torx T5 screwdriver to remove the three 9 mm screws from the hinge of the device.

    • Use a Torx T5 screwdriver to remove the two 7 mm screws from the left and right mid-section of the case.

    • Lift the backplate from the computer.

    • Gently pinch the white tab and pull the speaker cable out of its socket.

    • Don't pull on the cables.

    • If you can't get the speaker cable out by hand, use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket.

    • It may take a lot of alternating before the connector comes out.

    • To reconnect the cable, align the connector and use a spudger or clean fingernail to push it fully into the socket.

    • Don't push on the cables themselves, or you may damage the connector.

  7. bmSaLHWQs3k2fERZ

    • Remove the right and left speakers from the laptop.

    • There is a wire connecting the two speakers that is still attached to the laptop, so do not pull the speakers apart or away from the device.

    • Disconnect the speaker wire from the wire hooks along the edge of the chassis.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
