    Hi,

    The light in the left speakers is moved a little to the right of the speaker and doesnt light up right as the right speaker light.

    I´m not sure if it moved cause i had the speakers loud, i don´t think it was like this when i got it.

    Can i repair this and is it easy to do without damaging the laptop?

    It's normal, its been discussed in another thread, the right speaker grill light/ED is slightly brighter than the left speaker grill light/LED, most likely due to the placement of the LED itself. You can see the difference in the notebookreview review images.

    I was going to attempt to have a go at making them even when I get some time.

    Yes. exactly like that!
    I'm sorry for not making it clear in my first post.

    The right is bit brighter, and it looks to me that the LED is a little out of place.

    I had a camera yesterday but had to ship it back, else i could take a foto.
