- Slide the locking switch on the back to unlock.
- Lift the outer housing straight up and set it aside.
- Locate the speaker assembly near the I/O panel.
- Disconnect the speaker cable gently with a spudger.
- Remove the Torx screws holding the old speaker.
- Install the new 923-0504 and reconnect its cable.
- Replace the housing and lock the switch.
- Test audio in System Settings under Sound.
Still no sound after the swap? The fault may sit on the I/O board, so book a technician.
