W520 audio
Audio from the speakers on my W520 has become intermittent. From the headset jack it is OK. Any suggestions?

Re: W520 audio
It might be similar to my X220.
At first it had intermittent speaker output, and eventually (after a few months) no output at all.
As it turned out, the headphone jack got damaged, and detects a headphone even when nothing is plugged in.

Re: W520 audio
W520 speaker wires are stupidly ran over the copper heatpipes with zero insulation, and then tightly squeezed in a clip. See: https://youtu.be/lS5EBNhOgCc?t=3m40s
