If your ASUS Chromebook Flip CX1400FKA-AS88F speakers are malfunctioning—producing static, crackling sounds, or no audio output—this guide will walk you through the process of replacing them.
Before beginning the repair, power down the device completely and disconnect it from the charging adapter and all external peripherals.
Note: Some images in this guide depict the use of a metal spudger. Avoid using metal tools on internal components, as they may cause permanent damage. Instead, use a nylon or other non-metal spudger to ensure a safer and more controlled disassembly process.
