Introduction

This repair guide demonstrates the step by step process of removing the VECO speakers from the laptop. They are located inside the laptop and under the battery which will require the removal of both the keyboard and the battery before gaining access.

    • Power the laptop off and make sure the charger is unplugged before starting.

    • Remove the eight 8.0mm Phillips #0 screws on the bottom of the laptop.

    • Remove the three 6.0mm Phillips #0 screws.

    I appear to have FIVE of the smaller screws. The four securing the near edge and the one in the center are smaller than the four securing the far edge and the left and right sides. Either your diagram is wrong, or someone screwed mine together incorrectly.

    Mine is the same way — six long screws, five short ones. The screw paths seem to correspond accordingly.

    • Open the laptop.

    • Using an iFixit opening tool, pry along the edges of the keyboard.

    • Lift the keyboard and slide it gently towards you.

    • Do not completely remove the keyboard. It is still connected to the back panel by a pair of ribbon cables.

    • Using your thumb and index finger, pinch the multi-color cable and disconnect it from the motherboard.

    A serious omission is that there is a metal clamp holding the battery connector in place that MUST be slid back in order for the connector to be lifted up and off.
