If your Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15IML05 speakers provide distorted audio quality, fail, or won’t output anything, use this guide to replace them.
Before beginning this guide, review your sound and output settings. For additional diagnostic help, check out the device’s troubleshooting page.
The speakers are responsible for producing the sound you hear from your computer. Over time, the component degrades, resulting in a loss of sound quality. Replacing your laptop’s speakers can restore sound quality and improve the listening experience.
Working with lithium-ion batteries can be hazardous. A connected or swollen battery may catch fire if damaged. Before beginning this repair, discharge the battery below 25%, power off the laptop, and unplug all peripherals.
If you encounter a swollen battery, refer to this guide for disposal.
