  5. Use the T5 screwdriver to remove the three T5 screws (923-03540) from the right speaker.

    • Note: The screw in the bottom right corner is a captive screw.

    • Important: The screws may get stuck in the speaker screw grommets. If they do, leave them in place. If you force the screws out, the grommets can come out. If the grommets come out of the speaker, use the black stick to push them back into the screw holes.

Reassembly

Important

Ensure that the speaker areas in the top case, especially the speaker grilles, are free of any debris before reinstalling the speakers.

  1. Hold the speakers by the inner edges. Tilt the speakers under the lip of the top case. Then lower each speaker into the top case.

    • Left speaker

    • Right speaker

      • Important: If the speaker grommets tear or come loose during reassembly, install replacement grommets. Use tweezers to gently bend the grommet and thread it through the screw opening in the speaker. The textured side of the grommet should face up. Don’t damage the silver foam seals on the edge of the speakers. Ensure that the grommets fit tightly into the speakers. Then complete steps 2 and 3.

  2. Use the T5 screwdriver to reinstall the three T5 screws (923-03540) into the right speaker.
