    Good tutorial, replaced both speakers in my mid-2015 Macbook Pro Retina in ~ 1hr. When he says to mind the different sizes of screws, pay attention. Spent too much time trying to sort the correct ones out (though for the most part it's obvious if it's the wrong length). I always find it handy to have a magnetic mat, take pictures for later reference if needed, and post-it notes for labeling and easy identification. Thanks for the video!

    Thank you so much! Just replaced the speakers and everything is alright. I wouldn't have done that without the videotutorial, there are so many hacks I wouldn't have found myself.
    My full story:
    My MacBook Pro 15 didn't boot at all, it said there was no hard drive. I took it to the Apple service and they told me such an old machine would not be worth repairing. So I googled a bit and found a shop where I could buy a new compatible SSD. I took the risk and ordered one. When it arrived, I used a similar videotutorial for the SSD replacement (incomparably easier than this one). And guess what? Success! I was able to reinstall the old Mac and it's like new again - except for the speakers that I knew had been broken, too. So when I knew that it booted again, I ordered brand new speakers and used this tutorial to replace them. I was a little bit nervous about disconnecting and reconnecting all the tiny connectors, but it went so smoothly! So, for some $150 I have a functional Mac, almost like a new one, which they would have dumped in the service.

    Fantastic video. I watched it a few times. Was a little anxious to try since I'd never opened my computer. I followed it very closely and I'm so happy. New speakers are working. And I only have one screw left!!! LOL. Thanks so much.

    Thank you for creating this tutorial, I followed it to replace a buzzing left-side speaker on my MBP 1398, and I now have decent stereo sound again plus some knowledge of the internal architecture of my laptop which otherwise I would not have gained. Keep up the good work!

    Fantastic video. I had never even opened the back of my macbookbefore this . Following your video, I was able to change both speakers easily. It took me longer than the video since I labeled all the parts and segregated the different screw sizes to keep track of what went where. Thanks for making this video and other repair videos!

    Your tutorial on replacing the speakers on my Mac Book is fantastic. Very well explained. I only had one problem and it was my fault. Somehow while removing the right speaker connector I bent the small pins to the side. When I attempted to straighten the pins they instantly broke off the board. I have a friend who works with circuit board repair and we are going to solder 4 fine wires to the original pin solder points and then splice these wires to the speaker wires individually. Other than that, it was a challenging (for me) but successful repair. Thank you very much!!!

    Good morning,
    thank you very much for your tutorial which helped me a lot for the change of the left speaker of my computer, it took me 1 hs30 to 2 hs00, because I had to reopen the mac I had only the sound not the image, the problem came from the cable cable cable cable LCD, There was bad contact, when reassembly a tab had bent, I may have to replace it later the complete cable LCD. Now the Mac.B.P works fine. Thank you

    This process is correct, I just changed my speakers with no previous experience opening 2015 MacBook Pro. my only recommendation if you are doing this is be gentle on pulling out and putting back in the wires, I almost ripped one out.
    Thank you for posting this!!

    • @2pb
      @2pb 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The process shown is indeed correct and recommended in that it minimizes the chances of damage to cables and logic board connectors. However it is possible to replace the left speaker (from the point of view of the logic board) without going through the majority of the process. I did this on my mid 2012 A1398 Macbook Pro by disconnecting the battery and removing its two connecting screws, removing the SSD, lifting the 3 connectors to the wifi card, undoing the two connectors that secure the flat ribbon cable passing over the left cpu fan, removing the 3 screws from the left cpu fan and tilting it up carefully (without removing its connections) to access the i/o card. I then removed the plastic connector from the i/o card, removed its 2 screws and lifted it carefully out without removing its connections in order to access the speaker. i then removed the leftmost screw from the logic board, allowing me to carefully liberate the speaker and its cable after removing its 3 screws. I then installed the new left speaker and performed the removal steps in reverse.
      I should make clear that this "short cut" is not for the fainthearted or those averse to risk and I am not recommending it. You can very easily damage the cables and/or logic board connectors and then you will be in a world of pain 🤕. I guess I like living dangerously.

    Great tutorial, very clear. I replaced both my speakers, and they now work perfectly. I encountered one problem that maybe you can advise me about? The right-side USB port now seems to have an issue. I can connect a USB stick and transfer files etc to / from it no problem, but my wired QWERTY will not work on that port. The green power light on the QWERTY comes on, but the keys don't function. If I don't touch a key for maybe 30 seconds the green light goes out. The QWERTY works perfectly on the left-side USB port. The right-side port worked perfectly before I replaced the speakers. After I realised this port had an issue I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the connectors on that particular board. No luck. So basically the right-side USB port now seems to work for some peripherals but not others. Any thoughts what it could be? Thank you.

I do however now have an issue with the bluetooth in that the laptop no longer connects to my speaker or headphones. Maybe I missed a cable somewhere or maybe I broke something.

I ask this, because I am seeing listings on Ebay for various years in between, but the speakers look identical to me. I'm just trying to make sure that I get the right speakers for my late 2013 MacBook Pro. Thanks again for the help!

      You still need to move slightly on the motherboard to get underneath right speaker cable.
