If the speakers in your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th Gen (20FB002LUS) are not playing audio, follow this guide to replace them.
The two speakers in your laptop are responsible for playing sound when no other audio devices are connected via Bluetooth or through a cable to your laptop.
This guide covers how to replace the speakers entirely, but it is recommended that you check for software issues that may prevent the speakers from playing audio first. It’s also possible that the connector between the speakers and the motherboard of your laptop have come loose, so it would be wise to test the sound after ensuring all connections are secure before proceeding.
Before starting this guide, make sure to power down the device fully and unplug any exterior sources of power from the laptop.
