Hi, I have a HP Pavillion TX2110US Laptop and I have started to get some loud clicking noises from the speakers when the screen is at certain angles. I don't find these laptop speakers to be thrilling so I wouldn't mind losing/disconnecting them. And I know it's not windows making the racket because I uninstalled the sound card and it still did it, and I also tried it at every percentage volume too, but to no avail.
I took off the battery and disconnected the big plug underneath the little cover that's under the battery (I think it's called the "display assembly connector" or something like that) and I got the noise to stop. The problem is that I don't want to lose the built in microphone, fingerprint reader and any other functionality that the rest of the non-speaker wires do.
So my question is, which wires go to the speakers (preferably the right speaker since it seems to be the culprit) so I could cut those and leave the rest of the plug intact?
I counted 16 wires and I know that all the speakers that I'm familiar with have 2 wires per speaker minimum and I know that it won't work with out both so ideally I would just want to cut 1 wire to the right speaker. So does anyone have a wiring diagram or could explain which wires go to which speaker?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. It's not worth buying a $185 display assembly for the computer since it's just a spare one that I got it from my sister.

This might sound weird, but you might be better off just removing the speaker entirely, or taking it out and cutting the wires from where they connect to the speaker itself instead of risking cutting something you didn't want to.
The link for the service manual is here, although I don't remember if they put pinouts in it or not: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01343334.pdf -
if you want to remove the speakers, you can remove the bezel (just remove the rubber things covering the screws, unscrew everything, then slowly unclip the bezel) and take the screws around the speakers out so you can access them. the speakers are also taped a bit, so you'll have to remove some tape. it is a problem with the speaker wiring, the speakers in my tx2500 no longer work at all. at a few angles, they'll make clicking/popping noises, but that's about it.
