Introduction

Use this guide to replace the speakers in your ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DY laptop. The speakers are vital for listening to audio on your device.

Only a Phillips size #1 screwdriver and a plastic pick (or a similar pointed object) are needed for this tutorial.

It is recommended that you keep track of the screws and remember where they should be when reassembling.

Make sure that your laptop is off and unplugged before beginning this tutorial.

    • Turn off the laptop.

    • Disconnect the charging cable.

    • Failure to disconnect the charging cable and power down the computer could result in personal or property damage.

    • Flip the laptop so the back is facing up.

    • Insert the plastic opening tool at a corner and pry up along the edges, leaving the back side with the hinges for last.

    • Do not insert the opening tool too far into the laptop to avoid damaging internal components.

    • Gently lift up the back panel to release any remaining clips on the side with the hinges and remove the panel.

    Recommend a step here to unplug the battery internally. I discovered that you can short out the display ribbon cable pretty easily if you don't have it perfectly aligned with the connector bracket. It led to one of my pins being fried black and a gross deposit in the connector. Still seems to work though.
