Introduction

This guide will walk you through the process of replacing the speakers in your Dell XPS 15 9570. If you are experiencing distorted sound, no sound output, or a blown-out speaker, this guide will help restore your laptop’s audio functionality.

During the replacement process, take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge by using an ESD-safe tool or working on an anti-static mat.

Advanced technical skills are not require to replace the speakers, but basic familiarity with small screws and the ability to carefully disconnect components is recommended.

    My previous comment is incorrect, it is 7 screws, not 9, for the larger battery

Thank you for the tutorial!
Just did the swap with speakers form a DELL XPS 15 from an unknown model (most likely wasn't a 9570). Note that these speakers are common inbetween different XPS 15 models (at least XPS 9550 9560 M5510 9350 5520 5510 and Precision 5510 5520 5530 5540 PK23000RP00 TX47W 0TX47W) ******and can be interchanged.
The ones I just used were salvaged from an out-of-service XPS 15 but the parts can be sourced online easily (ex: https://www.amazon.com/Deal4GO-Speaker-R... )

Cheers
