Help fix laptop speakers.

Laptop: HP Envy M4

Ok so a while ago I opened my laptop to swap the hdd for ssd, I also cleaned the inside of it but I accidentally pushed one of the speakers, I managed to undent it but ever since my audio sounds crackled/muffled. I know its not a software problem. Does anyone knows if this is permanent damage or can it be fixed.

The last HP laptop i cleaned was a pain the the a%#. Depending on model you can either be lucky and get to the speakers in about 15mins OR you'll have to remove most of the components including screen to get to those speakers. You can try googling "HP envy m4 repair/clean" and see if opening up the laptop is worth it. If its not then you can use a vacuum cleaner to suck the membrane of the speaker back out even tho thats not without its risks but as long as you don't use too much speed on the vacuum you should be fine.

If the speaker is broken the only thing you can do is replace it.
