My 2014 rMBP speaker are burst



Highly interested DIY myself due to the successful DIY CD-ROM compartment to SSD 4years ago with my old 2011 MBP.
But iFixit show it's Difficulty are Moderate 2/3, although im scare but i would still want to try DIY.


Cincai la
Bought a pair speaker from Lazada shipped from China
Went Lowyat and bought screwdriver head and realized the head is too big...
End up order another P5 Screw from Lazada wait for another 1week and here i am
OK speaker parts ready.
OK P5, T5 ready.
OK my bravery are ready.




yeeeeewwwww, the dust


seriously have to be careful, one cable putus, habis la your logicboard.....


30minutes later, finally here's the main cast. And i also realized my battery are bloat...


The left side are original broken speaker, the right hand side are from china, definitely not original


Everything reassemble backwards following the iFixit guide
After a 1 and half hours later, finally it's all done!!!!!!
BUTTTTTTTTTT WHY THE F THE LEFT SPEAKER ARE STILL NO SOUND???!!!!
Was thinking itzit not speaker fault but the circuit board or soemthing else....damit...all my efforts...
then i take a look at the installation again only realized OMG the left speaker connector missed out didnt attach at all
