Oh yeaAAHHH! Right speaker & subwoofer fixed. Thank you!
The replacement subwoofer connector (step 4, which disconnection is required, not optional)was just a bit shorter, and just barely fit, so it was ‘iffy’ whether I’d get it to stay, but it did. Yea! No more sound distortion!!! Such an easy thing to fix!
Hello, I've just brought a MacBook Pro 8,1 to life with an SSD. It works great but unfortunately no sound. There is no output listed in sound window. I tried cmd+opt+P+R without success. Would replacing the speaker assembly solve the problem or is this a hardware problem? Thanx
PS- I also restarted cord...something in processes that didn't work either.
