No Sound From the Speakers

After opening the laptop check to see if the black and red wire on the right hand side connected to the speakers is also fully connected to the motherboard, if not push it back into place. The 4th step in this guide may be helpful.
There is no noise from speakers at all
If there is no noise coming from the laptop when you are sure there should be, check to see if the speaker wire is connected to the motherboard. If it is, the speakers may need to be replaced. You will find this guide helpful to follow in the replacement of your speakers.

Hello good day!
My Vizio_CT15 a2 doesn't power up with being plugged in… II thought it was a battery issue, I changed it, I even went ahead to charge the whole charger! Still does the same issue.. If the system is plugged in and I remove the plug it goes off instantly with the new battery, what can I do??

Running into the same issue with a clients machine as well. The motherboard part number is DA0VZ3MBAE0 and I have not been able to find a schematic to do board level repair. I'm assuming that you probably have abandoned this project seeing as I am replying to a comment over a year old. I'd suggest replacing the system board (if you can find one) or find a company who offers board level repair in your area.
