Introduction

A prerequisite to replacing the speakers is to remove the laptop’s battery. If you notice once the laptop is open that the battery is swollen, remove it with caution. If swollen, do not charge the battery, keep the battery at a stable room temperature, and dispose of it properly at a recycling center. This page will help you deal with a swollen battery.

Also, make sure that you unplug your device from any external power sources and completely power it off before beginning this replacement.
