This guide will show you how to replace the speakers on the IBM ThinkPad T42.

If your T42 audio output is distorted or not functioning due to a damaged speaker, you can restore the sound quality by replacing the speaker using this easy-to-follow guide.

Power down the T42 and disconnect from any power supply before you begin.

    There are tiny numbers showing the lengths of the screws. 1-2-3-4 where 1 is the shortest.

    The dark red circles are not very easy to see. How about white ones?
