Einleitung

Use this guide to replace the internal speaker assembly if the speakers are known to be blown on your HP Elitebook 8460p.

This guide requires disassembling a large part of the laptop and will take a longer period of time. Make sure to keep track of all the components and screws that must be removed. This guide also requires removing the chassis of the laptop which involves pry tools. Complete each step slowly and carefully to avoid breaking any plastic components.

Ground yourself with the ESD strap to prevent electrostatic discharges from damaging any of the components that must be removed or the motherboard.

To complete this guide, you will need a Phillips #0 screw driver, a T2 Torx screw driver, a plastic pry tool, and an ESD strap.

Thanks for the tutorial. I skipped step 11 - 29 and just cut the wire of the old speakers on both ends. Put in the new speaker and hid the wire under the lid of the hard drive. Looking back.. I could have done this straight away after step 5. Removing the fan and heat sinc isn't necessary if onne's going to cut the wire. Nevertheless, taking out the fan was good to remove all the dust in front of the outlet.

Thanks again!
