![Speaker Replacement: mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15" A1398 [Revised]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pBaNHAKfW04/mqdefault.jpg)
Good tutorial, replaced both speakers in my mid-2015 Macbook Pro Retina in ~ 1hr. When he says to mind the different sizes of screws, pay attention. Spent too much time trying to sort the correct ones out (though for the most part it's obvious if it's the wrong length). I always find it handy to have a magnetic mat, take pictures for later reference if needed, and post-it notes for labeling and easy identification. Thanks for the video!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Fantastic video. I watched it a few times. Was a little anxious to try since I'd never opened my computer. I followed it very closely and I'm so happy. New speakers are working. And I only have one screw left!!! LOL. Thanks so much.
This is way out of my comfort zone..! When I'm brave enough and cannot stand my fuzzy speakers anymore this will be my go to vid. Thanks!
You can do it!
Thank you so much! Just replaced the speakers and everything is alright. I wouldn't have done that without the videotutorial, there are so many hacks I wouldn't have found myself.
My full story:
My MacBook Pro 15 didn't boot at all, it said there was no hard drive. I took it to the Apple service and they told me such an old machine would not be worth repairing. So I googled a bit and found a shop where I could buy a new compatible SSD. I took the risk and ordered one. When it arrived, I used a similar videotutorial for the SSD replacement (incomparably easier than this one). And guess what? Success! I was able to reinstall the old Mac and it's like new again - except for the speakers that I knew had been broken, too. So when I knew that it booted again, I ordered brand new speakers and used this tutorial to replace them. I was a little bit nervous about disconnecting and reconnecting all the tiny connectors, but it went so smoothly! So, for some $150 I have a functional Mac, almost like a new one, which they would have dumped in the service.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Good morning,
thank you very much for your tutorial which helped me a lot for the change of the left speaker of my computer, it took me 1 hs30 to 2 hs00, because I had to reopen the mac I had only the sound not the image, the problem came from the cable cable cable cable LCD, There was bad contact, when reassembly a tab had bent, I may have to replace it later the complete cable LCD. Now the Mac.B.P works fine. Thank you
Thank you for creating this tutorial, I followed it to replace a buzzing left-side speaker on my MBP 1398, and I now have decent stereo sound again plus some knowledge of the internal architecture of my laptop which otherwise I would not have gained. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic video. I had never even opened the back of my macbookbefore this . Following your video, I was able to change both speakers easily. It took me longer than the video since I labeled all the parts and segregated the different screw sizes to keep track of what went where. Thanks for making this video and other repair videos!
Thank you SO MUCH. This video is amazing, I had some screws left to put on somehow, but everything worked just right.
Great tutorial! Thank you so much! I was able to follow along and replace my speakers in 30 min. This was significantly easier to follow along than Ifixit's photo tutorial.
Good job! I replaced both speakers and both fans on my wife's MacBook while following your step-by-step instructions. Everything is working perfectly now. Thanks a lot!
This was a perfect tutorial. Thank you so much!
Awesome tutorial! It really helped in breaking it down to manageable steps. Thanks.....
Your tutorial on replacing the speakers on my Mac Book is fantastic. Very well explained. I only had one problem and it was my fault. Somehow while removing the right speaker connector I bent the small pins to the side. When I attempted to straighten the pins they instantly broke off the board. I have a friend who works with circuit board repair and we are going to solder 4 fine wires to the original pin solder points and then splice these wires to the speaker wires individually. Other than that, it was a challenging (for me) but successful repair. Thank you very much!!!
Replaced both speakers in about an hour (15min were before I opened this video ha!)
in my Mid 2015 MacBook.
Thank you!
Good video, it was spot on . I replaced my blown speakers today, while it took me longer than the video, only because I had to keep rewinding do to interruptions. Thanks a lot for your help . 😅
Thanks! Easy to follow and worked
Thanks for sharing the video. I tried to replace both speakers by your video, doing it step by step and finally replaced in my A1398. It really helpful, thank you again.

Very detailed tutorial. I replaced both the speakers without any issues. Enjoyed the work i have done.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Thank you so much! Successfully replaced both speakers 😊
Thank you! Two cover plate screws are smaller and go on one long side. That and assembling in a different order messed me up because I had all screws in order, but SUPER vid anyways! Success!
Thanks for sharing the video!

Thank you!!
Thankyou!
5:55 my webcam connector was really stiff so I left it in place, I was able to complete the repair with the cable connected. Thanks for the great tutorial. I wouldn't have attempted replacing my speakers without.
Nice work!
Lo logre!!! Buen video tutorial 🔥🔥
This was a perfect.
Thank you.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
This process is correct, I just changed my speakers with no previous experience opening 2015 MacBook Pro. my only recommendation if you are doing this is be gentle on pulling out and putting back in the wires, I almost ripped one out.
Thank you for posting this!!
The process shown is indeed correct and recommended in that it minimizes the chances of damage to cables and logic board connectors. However it is possible to replace the left speaker (from the point of view of the logic board) without going through the majority of the process. I did this on my mid 2012 A1398 Macbook Pro by disconnecting the battery and removing its two connecting screws, removing the SSD, lifting the 3 connectors to the wifi card, undoing the two connectors that secure the flat ribbon cable passing over the left cpu fan, removing the 3 screws from the left cpu fan and tilting it up carefully (without removing its connections) to access the i/o card. I then removed the plastic connector from the i/o card, removed its 2 screws and lifted it carefully out without removing its connections in order to access the speaker. i then removed the leftmost screw from the logic board, allowing me to carefully liberate the speaker and its cable after removing its 3 screws. I then installed the new left speaker and performed the removal steps in reverse.
I should make clear that this "short cut" is not for the fainthearted or those averse to risk and I am not recommending it. You can very easily damage the cables and/or logic board connectors and then you will be in a world of pain 🤕. I guess I like living dangerously.
Merci, JCT île de la réunion 🇷🇪
Thanks!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
I am ready to replace the speakers on my late 2013 MacBook pro and thanks for this video I am more confident to do so. Thank you.
Glad the video helped. Good luck with your repair.
@@UbergeeksBiz Yes! I just replaced the speakers today. Once again, big thank you to you and subscription.
@@witmal99 Awesome. Happy to hear that.
Congrats! 😀
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Thanks I just changed my speakers
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Hello and thanks for the video . I have a question because my computer is no longer starting after the speakers changing 😢 . Do you have something to say for helping me?
Hello, ur Tutorial really helped me, but now my screen doesn’t turn on. Trying to figure it out what happen. But I think it’s due to the small connector
Hi, nice tutorial! In which links the replacement you bought for this video? I’ve look closely that the replacement that you bought looks like the genuine one which is I assume it’s the amazon one, and i was wondering how’s the quality of the sound? Thanks
Great tutorial, very clear. I replaced both my speakers, and they now work perfectly. I encountered one problem that maybe you can advise me about? The right-side USB port now seems to have an issue. I can connect a USB stick and transfer files etc to / from it no problem, but my wired QWERTY will not work on that port. The green power light on the QWERTY comes on, but the keys don't function. If I don't touch a key for maybe 30 seconds the green light goes out. The QWERTY works perfectly on the left-side USB port. The right-side port worked perfectly before I replaced the speakers. After I realised this port had an issue I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the connectors on that particular board. No luck. So basically the right-side USB port now seems to work for some peripherals but not others. Any thoughts what it could be? Thank you.
If I could only figure out where one last collared screw went.... Oh well. It works!
Is it possible to make graphic card upgrade for the same model?
God bless you
Thank you. You too
you should demo them working after you put them in (other than that pretty good video)
Also, do you know of anyone that makes actual upgraded speakers?
I successfully replace both speakers on my late 2013 MacBook Pro, so many thanks for the video! I do however now have an issue with the bluetooth in that the laptop no longer connects to my speaker or headphones. Maybe I missed a cable somewhere or maybe I broke something. I'll have to open it up again and take a look but do you have any advice as to where I should look?
Hi. I'm glad the video helped. I would try check 5:25 that 3 cables I marked and removed. That's your WiFi and Bluetooth receiver. Hope this helps.
Hello! Great tutorial! I have question about the speakers. Are all the speakers for the MacBook Pro 15 inch, from mid 2012 to 2015, the same? I ask this, because I am seeing listings on Ebay for various years in between, but the speakers look identical to me. I'm just trying to make sure that I get the right speakers for my late 2013 MacBook Pro. Thanks again for the help!
Yes, I believe 2012-2105 are the same speakers.

Thank you for the tutorial! I was able to replace the speakers and the left speaker works great but the right speaker has no sound. During the replacement, I think a little of the rubber part of the old speaker got stuck and I scraped it off with my fingers. Perhaps that was the cause? How do I remedy this? Thank you.
Glad it helped
Dec 2021 🙌🏽
Thanks ! Glad the video helped.
Thank you I did the replacement following your instruction, it is ok but the quality of the sound is not good.
Could you please recommend me some good speakers, it is not easy to chose the good one on Amazon, Ebay... etc. Apparently my first choice was not so good...
Try going to ebay. Find used OEM speakers
Thank you very much for the tutorial!! I replaced both speakers but my facetime camera is blinking green light and no microphone. Any ideas??
I just happened to be the same
Did you find any solution? :)
@@sandramercado360 no still the same.
I have one small short black screw left.. 😄😏 hopefully it won’t break anything.. can’t find any hole where it goes
Missing one screw is fine.. lol
If I need to replace only the right speaker, do I also need to remove the motherboard? It kinda looks like the fan and I/O board should be enough, am I right?
You still need to move slightly on the motherboard to get underneath right speaker cable.
Great tutorial. I did exactly as you said, but the laptop won't start. Need help. // When you make your presentation video, please remove your hands so I can see exactly where you are working so that I can keep up with you. It is hard to locate exactly where you are.
Try check the battery cable. Or get the adapter to try power on.
Now my keyboard doesn’t work. Please help me
I was going to replace my speakers myself until I saw this. Uh…yea, I’m just going to move balance to the working side. Once he said that if you snap a wire that could result in having to replace the screen…I knew I was out.
Lmao both of my speakers are trashed so I’m taking the risk. It looks like it’s only one clip that’s easy to avoid breaking
Wow those batteries are swollen.
Yup... do not plug in the charger 24/7. That will damage the battery quickly.
my speaker isnt blown, just purely fat, no bass , it is worse than my macbook air 2012 ,
That battery lol. Speakers wont matter when it is a ball of fire.
Lol. Time 💣🔥
