Use this guide to replace the right speaker in your Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 laptop.

The right speaker is on the same side as the SD card slot and USB-A port.

If your speaker sounds crackly, like static, or isn't making noise, it may be damaged and in need of replacement.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    • If it doesn't, remove the grommets from your old speaker and install them in your replacement.

    • Installing the grommets can be tricky. Use your fingers to pinch the grommet and slide it into place.
