Introduction
Before using this guide check your computers sound settings and run the troubleshoot feature to check for any unwanted settings that may have been overlooked.
Before beginning, make sure to power off the device completely and do not have it connected to a power source. Also, it is always recommended to use a anti-static wrist band and mat when working on electronic devices to inhibit electrostatic discharged which could harm the laptop components.
How to set up your Anti-static mat and wristband
What you need
Step 1
Back Cover
- Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to unscrew the five screws that secure the back cover to the laptop.
- The screws do not completely come off from the back cover. Loosen until the screws are completely loose.

Step 2
- Use a Jimmy to lift the cover directly up off of the locating pins.
- Though a metal opening tool is shown in the image, we recommend using plastic opening tools to minimize any cosmetic damage.
- Remove the back cover.
- If you encounter resistance when lifting the cover, revisit the screws to see if any of them are still threaded on to the device.
