Introduction

The internal speakers inside of the Acer Chromebook CB315-3HT-C3FQ can only work when the diaphragms inside the speakers are able to vibrate without anything restricting their movement. If no other solutions to any sound problems are working, then that means that the diaphragms are blocked or damaged. Use this guide to get into the Chromebook and inspect the speakers.

Tools

Step 1

Flip the Chromebook over so the bottom is facing up.

Step 2

Remove all 10 screws that hold the bottom panel in place using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Step 3

Use an iFixit opening tool to pry the bottom panel up and detach it from the rest of the Chromebook.

Step 4

Always wear an anti-static wrist strap when working with an electronic device, as static electricity from your hand could damage it.
To use the anti-static strap, attach the strap to your wrist and then attach the end of the cord to something that is also metal, preferably something in your Chromebook. This strap will discharge any static electricity that you build up instead of it going into the metal parts of your computer, which could damage the components.

Step 5

Unplug the speaker cord from the motherboard's port.
Remove the speakers from the laptop.
Scan the QR code located in between the left and right speakers. The QR code will take you to different sites that sell the internal speakers that are for the Acer Chromebook 315.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
