Use this guide to replace the speakers for your HP Chromebook 14-Q010DX.

A speaker is a piece of hardware that reproduces sound from a video or audio played on your device. If you notice that the speaker is not producing sound or the audio isn't clear/distorted, a faulty speaker might be the root of this problem.

Before using this guide, examine the speaker port of any debris. Usually, a small buildup of debris and dust might cause the speaker ports to be covered causing the speaker to transmit spotty audio. The buildup can be cleared by canned air or a dust blower.

Before starting, make sure to turn off the device and unplug it from all power sources.
