The subwoofer has a new foam surround. It’s one of the relatively few that attaches behind the cone. Have to wait 24 hours for the glue to set before giving it a test run.
Follow-up: Success! It works, and thanks to the plastic shims keeping the cone centered while doing the gluing there’s no rubbing.
My next repair project will be replacing the LCD panel in my 14″ HP laptop. Over the past year it’s developed a rather large and distracting defect.
