Question

How can you replace internal speakers inside a laptop?

Community Answer

If you wanted to get rid of the internal speakers, you'd have to do some DIY, which would involve working some components. That's not exactly the easiest thing to do on a laptop, but if you simply connected speakers externally (into a speaker port that should be on the left or right side of the laptop), the external speakers will override the internal speakers.

Check that their drivers are installed properly. If they're not, try to install them correctly. That should fix the issue.

Question

This is a problem with my speaker wire. Every time I move it, it stops making noise. I tried to find the wire problem and used heat-shrink tubing to cover it. It still does not work. What can I do?

Community Answer

Take it to your nearest hardware store, or you can open it and fix the damaged wire, if you know how.

Question

What if the power is not being supplied to the speakers?

Community Answer

Take some batteries. You will need to glue the batteries to the inside of the speaker. This will cause the speaker to take power off of the battery.
