Re: 5300 Speaker Replacement?

[Andrew Kershaw]

Well, personally, I'd say it's not worth it.

Given the fragility of the video cable on the 5300, taking apart the 
LCD housing isn't really advisable.

Besides, the 5300's speaker bites the big one to begin with.  The 
replacement won't sound much better than the original.

(I've got this project - read crazy dream - to figure out how to 
drive a stereo signal on the 5300 using the internal circuits only. 
Maybe someday I'll finally track down the documentation for the ITT 
ASCO 2300 sound controller on the 5300's logic board.  When that day 
comes, I'll be jumping for joy - stereo sound on the 5300 would be 
pretty darn cool.  Of course, there will be some creative case 
hacking involved, but still...)

You're better off spending $25 - $50 and picking up a decent pair of 
external Cambridge Soundworks speakers or something.  If you want to 
go for the whole slim-line thing, try the Monsoon MM700 if you can 
find them.  If you want to go for the whole Apple-brand thing, try 
the AppleDesign Powered Speakers II (the black ones).

Yeah, I'm _al_ about accessorizing. ;-)

Peace,
Drew

5300 Speaker Replacement?

[David R.]

OK, the speaker in my 5300cs is sounding real buzzy.  So my question is, is
it worth the work to replace it?  I have the takeapart manual, but I thought
I'd get a little feedback here first in case it's too much of a pain and not
worth the trouble.  I've had everything out of the base a few times but
never ventured into the screen workings.

Thanks,

Dave
