I’m facing an issue with my Asus ZenBook 14 UX430UN speakers. They’ve become muffled and sound buggy, especially when the volume is set above 10%. It’s really frustrating as I rely on the laptop for multimedia usage.

I’ve come across these replacement options online:

• AliExpress listing
• Shopee listing

Has anyone tried replacing their ZenBook speakers with similar products? Are these compatible, and would they solve the issue?

Also, if anyone has tips for speaker replacement or recommendations for trusted repair shops, I’d appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

My 'a' key randomly stopped working yesterday. Nothing out of the ordinary happened between me shutting it down the night before and firing up the laptop the next day.

However, I did spill water over my laptop around a month ago and am now in a more humid climate.

I have tried cleaning beneath the key (which is definitely the issue, I ran driver tests and was able to check using v USB keyboard.

I have spoken to two technicians and would love another opinion. One told me it would be ~£180 to replace and probably wouldn't ever quite be the same. another said could get away with just changing the key (£35). That doesn't seem quite right to me.

If you have insight on this, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance.
