If you are experiencing issues with your HP Pavilion’s audio system, such as audio cutting in and out, distorted audio, or even no audio at all, you might want to consider replacing the speaker system found inside the laptop. The process of replacing the speakers is simple and has very few requirements. One of the requirements is knowledge of how to use basic tools such as a Philips head screw driver. Replacing the speakers requires the removal of many small screws and other small components so the capability of organizing these parts and pieces is every important to ensure you do not misplace anything important and your computer goes back together properly. It is also suggested that the person replacing the speakers wear a static discharge bracelet around their wrist or ankle to reduce the risk of passing a charge to certain computer elements susceptible to these charges. For a relatively small amount of money and ten minutes of effort, you can make your laptop sound like it’s brand new.
