Procedure1 Audiosourcetest
Trydifferentaudiosources(e.g.anaudioCDanddigitalmusicfile)todeterminewhetherthe
faultisinthespeakersystemornot.Ifnotallsourceshavesoundproblem,theproblemisin
themonauraldevices.Ifallhavethesameproblem,continuewithProcedure2.
Procedure2 Earphonetest
Connectasetifearphonesorexternalspeakers.Ifthesefunctioncorrectly,gotoProcedure3.
Iftheydonotfunctioncorrectly,thesystemboardmaybedefectiveordamaged.Replaceit
withanewone.
Procedure3 Connectioncheck
DisassemblethecomputerfollowingthestepsdescribedinChapter4,Replacement
Proceduresandmakesurethespeakercableisfirmlyconnectedtotheaudioboard.Ifthe
speakersarestillnotfunctioningproperly,gotoProcedure4.
Procedure4 Replacementcheck
Ifthestereospeakersdon'tsoundproperly,thestereospeakersmaybedefectiveordamaged.
Replacethemwithnewones.Ifthestereospeakersstilldonotworkproperly,tryreplacingin
