Title
Mac Studio 2023 Front USB-C Ports Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace the front USB‑C ports in your Mac Studio (2023).
''Note'': The two ports must be replaced together, as a flex cable connects them. You can't replace a single port.
If you're having trouble connecting devices to the front USB‑C ports or cables fit loosely in them, it may be time to replace the ports.
***Before you begin this repair***, test your cables with another device to make sure the problem is with the port and not the cable itself.
