Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2nd Gen) Speakers Replacement

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

Einleitung

If the speakers on your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2nd Gen) make popping sounds, distorted sounds, or no sounds, use this guide to replace your speakers.

The speakers play the audio from your computer.

Before using this guide, check if your audio has been disabled or you need to update the audio drivers. This will check if your speaker problems are from faulty software or hardware.

Before you begin, make sure your computer is off.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the seven 7mm screws holding the back cover onto your computer.

Schritt 2

Use a plastic opening tool or your fingers to pry off the cover.

Use the plastic tool as seen in the picture (pry at the hinge side) as on the nearside of the laptop are some plastic scoop brackets, so prying at the front will be a lost cause and may cause damage.

Schritt 3

Using your fingers, disconnect the battery from the motherboard.

Schritt 4

Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, unscrew the five 4.3mm screws attaching the battery to the computer.

Schritt 5

Remove the battery by pulling it directly towards you.

Before installing the new battery, the attached cables connecting it to the board need to be bent or kinked in a similar manner to how the old battery’s cables were. I looked at the old battery’s cables for an idea of how to bend the new cables.

Also, I saw how the old battery had some very thin foam attached to the battery (as seen in the photos), and that the replacement iFixit battery didn’t have such foam. I couldn’t figure out a way to remove the foam from the old battery without destroying it, so I went ahead and installed the new battery without it.
