Einleitung

If your HP 15-ay114cy (also known as the HP Notebook 15) has muffled or crackled sound, then you may have faulty or broken laptop speakers that will need to be replaced.

Proper working speakers would provide clear and crisp sound from the laptop with no delay and would allow for proper high to low volume adjustment. If you laptop is new, then you may have faulty speakers. However, after extensive use of your laptop it is possible for you speakers to become dirty with dust that can damage the laptop speakers causing the same symptoms.

Before removing the speakers, relate back to this troubleshooting page for further information about what is causing your symptoms. Moving forward, be sure to follow all prerequisite guides included for dismantling your device.

No special skills are required to remove and replace the device fan. However, you will need a plastic opening tool (plastic spudger) as well as a Phillips #0 Screwdriver.

    • Orient the Laptop so the HP logo is facing the table and the battery tabs are accessible.

    • Ensure the laptop is powered off before moving forward.

    Make sure to use a caution bullet here.

    • Place your index fingers on each of the two battery holder clips.

    • Using your index fingers, push the battery holder clips inwards (towards the center of the laptop).

    Try to avoid reorienting the device between the two steps. This change kind of disrupts the flipbook style.

    • After the battery clips are pushed in, use either hand to grab hold of the battery.

    • Gently push up to remove the battery.

    Make sure to use end punctuation on all steps. Also, for the last bullet—can you think of a stronger verb that indicates how to do this? E.g., gently pull? Forcibly yank? etc.

    • Grab a hold of the disk drive and carefully pull it away from the computer.

    • Continue to slide the disk drive out of the laptop until fully removed.

    • Due to the removal of the battery, no power is available to open the disk drive through the use of the eject button.

    • Make sure to pull out the disk drive at a 90 degree angle as demonstrated. Do not attempt to wiggle the drive out of the laptop.

    • There will be resistance when removing the drive. Mishandling may cause broken wires, which could make your disk drive inoperative.

    • Using your index finger and thumb, lift the right speaker to remove it from its housing. This will give enough room to pull the wiring harness from the adapter.

    • Follow the connected wire to the harness.

    I would probably separate out these bullets into multiple steps, so you can add more images showing the speaker being lifted, then removing the harness, then removing the wiring etc.

    • Grabbing the base of the wiring harness, use a bit of force to separate the harness from the motherboard adapter.

    • Lift up the old speakers and remove the wiring from the plastic routing tabs.

    Note that you don’t need to write reassembly steps. as below, you have “to reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.” You can add the information about rethreading in a reminder bullet.
