Hi, since a few day my right speaker crackles (in the bass), do you think it should be changed ? what could be the cause of the damage ? If so, is this type of piece ok ? (macbook pro Unibody 15" Mid-2102) THX
That looks like the correct part. Crackling in the speaker is usually caused by being blown out (volume too high and it damages the speaker membrane) or other times some dirt or dust or debris gets caught in the speaker and vibrates off the membrane. Sorry no one replied until now (3 years later!)
