Hi! Such an excellent guide you’ve made. But I wonder, if I want to replace only the speaker, should I disassemble most of the parts or just doing step 41-42? Because I’m too afraid that I’ll break those small wirings and connectors.. while my only problem is the speaker.

Hafiz Widjojo - Replica

Unfortunately, you must disassemble the whole machine - the board is covering a portion of the speaker and therefore it is impossible to remove with the board still on there.

Thayne Washburn -

Hi, I just went through replacing the left speaker and the screen. So much more involved to get to the left speaker than changing the screen.

But the replacement speaker is only giving me highs and not bass. Anyone ran into this issue? could it be a faulty speaker? I bought it here on ifixit. I don’t suppose it is from a bad replacement procedure that I could have done. Either the speaker has sound or it doesn’t?

Thanks.

THIERRY - Replica

No, have not noticed a decrease in bass from the replacement speaker. (bought used from eBay) Not that you’d want to disassemble everything again but there does seem to be an air intake opening near the end of the long section of the speaker. Perhaps it’s clogged? Also, the shape of the inner speaker is different on the replacement - original is round and the replacement is hexagon, though they both seem to sound the same.

objbuilder -

Same. Replaced 2 speakers— one was low sounding, neither any bass. Returned, replaced again, same issue. At wits end.
