This guide will help you replace the speakers in your HP Pavilion x360 14m-ba114dx laptop. The speakers are responsible for taking electronic signals from the computer and turning them into audible noise. If your laptop will not produce any sound or if the sound it produces is muffled, garbled, or distorted, there may be a problem with your laptop’s speakers. Please visit this troubleshooting page for possible solutions to the problem. If none of these solutions work, use this guide to replace the speakers.
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.
