Introdução

Having a hard time getting sound from your Chromebook? Made sure that your Chromebook wasn't muted? Then you may need to replace the speakers.

What you need: 10 8mm screws, Tweezers, and a Phillips #1 Screwdriver
Remove Phillips #1 screws from the bottom of the Chromebook using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
Use tweezers to get two of the screws are hidden by rubber caps along the rubber rest of the device out.

What you need: plastic opening tool, Chromebook
Open the top portion of the Chromebook
To unhinge the top portion of the Chromebook, push down on the plastic opening tool.
Place the plastic opening tool facing upward using the upper scoop, into the edges between the front and back of the Chromebook.
In order to avoid damaging ribbon cables, gently lift the top portion of the Chromebook from the bottom portion.

Gently disconnect the ribbon cable connecting the trackpad and the keyboard to the motherboard.

Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to flip up the locking flap on each end of the cable—this is the unlocked position.
Gently remove the ribbon cable connecting the I/O board to the motherboard.

I was able to remove the IO board at this stage, without removing the battery.

Remove two 4 mm Phillips #1 screws from the metal grate connected to the battery.
Remove metal grate from battery.
Remove six 4 mm Phillips #1 screws from the battery.

Use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket and disconnect the battery from the motherboard.
It may take a lot of alternating before the connector comes out. Be patient.
If that doesn't work, grip all the cables at once as close to the connector as possible and pull the connector slowly and steadily out of its socket.
Lift the battery from the bottom edge to to remove it from the Chromebook.
