  • Patent number: 6052275
    Abstract: A multimedia computer monitor simplifying testing and repair includes cavities within the multimedia computer monitor for insertion of speakers. The speakers are interchangeable so that the first speaker can be inserted in the second cavity and the second speaker can be inserted in the first cavity. The multimedia computer monitor may include test buttons for sending audible signals to the first and second speakers. A method of testing the speakers includes interchanging the speakers within the cavities and listening for an audible response. A test signal to generate the audible response can be provided by test buttons within the multimedia computer monitor so that the test signal may be generated without connecting the multimedia computer monitor to a computer system. A method of testing the multimedia computer monitor isolates a defect to the first speaker, the second speaker, or the multimedia computer monitor.
