Removing the Speaker Assembly
Previous steps required...
Opening the MacBook Pro
Removing the Top Case
Removing the Airport Card
The speaker assembly sits on a lot of key
components and removing it is necessary to get
to these components. There are two connected
parts of the assembly... the left and right
speaker.
You can start with the right speaker. There
is one Torx T6 screw holding it and the ambient
light sensor in place. Once removed, you can
lift the plastic cover off the sensor and put it to
the side. There is a piece of orange foil stuck t
the board here. You can safely pull that off. The
right speaker is locked in place. To unlock it,
rotate it clockwise until it frees itself. Once un-
locked, you should be able to pull it straight up
out of its crevice. After the speaker itself is out,
you can route the speaker cable back that goes
over the logic board.
The left speaker assembly is a little trickier.
It is held on by several screws. One screw is
pointed out in the first picture to the right. It is
located in a slight hole in the assembly. A sec-
ond screw actually fastens the assembly to the
left fan. This will need to be removed as well.
Also pictured to the right is the sound cable.
This needs to be disconnected. The easiest
way to disconnect it is to pop up the locking
clip vertically. Once the clip is popped up, the
cable can easily be pulled out of the connector.
Once all of those screws are removed and the
cable disconnected, the speaker assembly can
be extracted. Both speakers are connected so
be careful not to pull the wires when removing
them.

STEP BY STEP
There are three main parts
to the MacBook Pro speaker
assembly... the left and
right speaker and the sub-
woofer which provides the
bass. If you are only
getting sound from one
side, none at all, or no
bass, you probably will
need your speaker assembly
replaced.
