TLDR: 2 of 3 speakers stopped working, when I opened laptop it was connectors on motherboard for speakers had died not speakers. Is there a fix as its a 1500 euro laptop. / Could I buy an extension cord for the cable to run to the one connector that does work.
Ok so I have a HP Envy 17-j053ea laptop and it has some beats speakers in it. 3 different sets to be exact. However a few months ago 2 of the 3 died (Both where sub-woofers which on the motherboard where beside each other) all of a sudden so when I opened it up today to assessed the problem I found out that it was not the speakers that where causing the problem but the motherboard itself!
When I connected the "broken" speakers into the one connector that still worked which was on the other side of the motherboard they all worked in that one port but none worked in the other two ports that had broke so I now knew it was the motherboard. I know the basics of PC's and would be down to replace a cpu or similar task but soldering and messing with the motherboard seems like it might be out of my reach.
So one of the 3 sets of speakers in the laptop are far more powerful than the other two so I am wondering is it possible to get an extension cord for the audio connector so it can reach to the one port that works? Just wondering what its called as all the ones I have seen online are for actual PC's not laptops and are far to big.
Equally if anyone knows of a way I can sort out this problem that isnt overly complex and requires me bending time I would appreciate that also. I have included some pics showing my issue
