Thanks for the reference manual, but unfortunately, there are no references to replacing the speaker board.

Is there anyone else who has ever done this.

Hi We are awaiting your response. Also do send  us your system tag#, name and email address via personal message by clicking on my name in blue

Sorry, I did respond but was having a heck of time with the 'I'm not a robot'.  It was caught in a loop.

Here is a photo attached (at least I hope so)

No Worries.
We see the speakerboard is a part of palmrest and there are no written instructions with us to remove the speaker board separately.

That's not really much help is it?  I was always trained that when I didn't know the answer the correct response was, " I don't know - but I'll find out".   The board is sold separately so there must be a way to remove it.

Did you open this discussion up to the public as I am sure I am not the only one to every need to replace a speaker.  Otherwise this has been a week long effort in futility.

Hi Nice to hear from you. 

If there is a an issue with speaker Dell replaced the entire palmrest but not the speaker alone. 

Providing you self written instructions from a third party websites will risk damaging the system. 

Though the part is sold separately by few third party websites, but from Dell its always sold along with touchpad. 

Probably you were looking at this website

and are under impression that its removable, but if you go to the installation instructions provided by this website its of M6600. We leave it to you to decide whether to follow the DIY instructions provided in this link, though we would not really suggest.
