Einleitung

Having issues with your audio in your Lenovo Yoga C930-13IKB laptop? Check out this troubleshooting guide to figure out what’s wrong before using this guide to replace your speakers. If your speakers are damaged or worn out from heavy use, it is a good idea to replace them.

To access the speakers in your laptop, you will need to remove the back cover and the battery, which is outlined for you in the steps below. There are two speakers total, one on either side of the laptop, connected to each other by a wire. Only one of the speakers is plugged directly into the motherboard. For this guide, you will need a plastic opening tool, a T5 Torx screwdriver, and a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

    • Flip the device over so that the underside is facing up.

    • Remove the six 3.5 mm T5 Torx screws.

    • Pry off the back cover using the plastic opening tool.

    • Loosen the back cover in multiple spots using the opening tool, then remove the whole back.

    • You may have to run the plastic tool along the edges until you find a small gap to separate the back cover from the laptop.

    • Do not use a metal tool when working with your device.

    The gap is so small that I wasn’t able to insert anything to pry the cover up. The suction cup tool lifted the cover off easily.

    There is a very convenient spot to begin the prying process. Up by the hinge, where the metal back turns in perpendicular to the edge to get around the hinge mechanism, there is a gap between the cover and the rest of the laptop where it can be pried up easily. From there it is easy to run a tool and widen the gap all the way around.

    • Unplug the battery from the motherboard by pinching the cables with your fingers and tugging out with force.

    • Use the spudger for assistance.

    Pull cables toward yourself.

    I was not able to grasp the wires with the battery mounted. Once I removed the battery from the case, the connector was easy to remove

    • Unscrew the four 3mm screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

    I used a PH000 for this

    • The battery is still held in place with two stretch-release adhesive strips, similar to ones found in an iPhone.

    • Use your fingers to pry up the clear plastic pull-tab for one of the stretch release adhesives.

    • Grasp the pull-tab and slowly pull away from the battery at a shallow angle. The adhesive strip will stretch to many times its length and slowly release from underneath the battery.

    • Repeat the procedure for the second strip on the opposite side of the battery.

    • Be careful not to bend the battery. Breaking the battery is dangerous.

    • Remove the battery with your hands.

    There are two clear plastic tabs wrapped around the sides of the battery that connect to the glue strips between the battery and the backlight cover. All you have to do is peel the clear strips from the battery and pull them away. The glue under the battery pulls out like a Command Strip. No need to wreck your backlit cover and possibly the cabling underneath with tools.

    Oh man I really wish I would have expanded the comments before continuing; something that took me an hour of painstaking prying could have been taken care of in 30 seconds. USE THE PULL TABS TO REMOVE THE ADHESIVE STRIPS!

    Ben Borgert -

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for the tips! I’ll amend the guide to include this info.

    Arthur Shi -

    I still don’t understand Step 6. Also does the new battery stick to the existing adhesive strip?

    Allen Michael Cohen -

    @BenBorgert - agree 100%!! I would also add that I had to give the cover a nudge towards the hinge (something seemed to click into place) to get the screw holes lined up

    • Remove the right speaker using your fingers.

    • Remove the left speaker, which is connected to the right speaker by the black and red wire.

    • When reassembling, make sure the black and red wire is in the right track so that you are able to put the back cover back without wire poking out.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

What would be the additional steps to replace a right hinge as the speakers are in the hinge?
