Broke socket for right speaker from the logic board

Hi,

I used your guide "MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Optical Drive Replacement" to install a second hard drive (SSD) on my macbook pro.

Unfortunately I broke the socket for the right speaker/subwoofer cable connector from the logic board.

See: Step 4 — Optical Drive.

Is it possible to solder the socket again on the logic board?

Is there something I must consider?

Should I use the socket or is it better to solder the cable directly on the logic board (pins)?

Do you know if there is something on the other side of the logic board which I can destroy by solder the cable on the logic bard?

Soldering logic boards is not easy, it takes special tools and skill. I suggest you use earphones or external speakers as a workaround. Yes you can damage the logic board and components on the reverse side.

If this answer was helpful please remember to return an mark it Accepted.

I know exactly what you mean. The same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. The repair is not for the light of heart.

What I did was first clean the connections on the logic board and socket with rubbing alcohol. Then I carefully super glued the socket in place (using very little glue and making sure the four metal leads on the socket are correctly aligned with the connectors on the board). I used super glue that allowed me thirty second before it set to give me enough time to make a change if needed. Further, I used a small flat edge screw driver to hold the socket in place while setting. I placed the bottom of the case back on without screwing in the screws that secure the part of the case that covers the logic board. I powered up the computer just to check if the subwoofer worked. It did not.

So I flipped the computer back over and took the bottom back off. I used a standard solder iron with a brass spade tip. Steel seems to attract the solder so it sticks to the steel, which I didn't want as I wasn't going to add any solder to the board. With Brass the solder seems to stay in place.

Using the point of the spade, I applied the solder iron to each one of the four leads for about two to three seconds being careful not to melt the plastic.

Without completely securing the bottom case, I turned the Mac back on and tested the speakers. They worked flawlessly. I finished securing the bottom case.

You soldered 4 terminals. There are 2 more terminal on the other side of the socket. Did you solder them as well?

Hi Terrin,

I tried soldering the connection - it worked for awhile - but it was my first and only solder. I would so appreciate if you could add photos or refer to the iFixit soldering guide, and re-explain your procedure for those of us, who are not faint of heart, and would like to try soldering the connection. I do not even know what kind of connection it is, or what you are referring to when you reference "four leads."

From memory, I recall just one specific spot or node underneath the piece that broke off.

I don't need much, I would just like to see what you re-connected, what kind of connection it is, and to what terminals you are referring.

Had same issue on my Mid-2015 15". I've worked on a hundred MacBooks and this speaker/subwoofer connector is so poorly designed. It's NOT a pop off. It's a pull out connector covered by a piece of foam. It's my fault for not removing the foam to inspect first. Yes, it's four tiny post pins on the tiny connector then there are four connection points on the logic board. I'm not sure what MacCrazy is talking about the two terminals on the other side of the board. Maybe there but these have nothing to do with this repair. After cleaning with 91% isopropyl, I also used the tiniest amount of super glue in exact spot where all four posts are lined up with the four connection points on the logic board. Then i used a friends micro tip soldering iron - with no solder -to heat the connections together. I used a magnifying glass also. Mine worked but I would not do it again. Too much heat in the wrong area and your $200 logic board is fried. Just use bluetooth with portable external speaker or clip on external speaker.

This step made me permanently disconnect my right speaker and subwoofer. I've removed the optical drive in the past but this time, for some reason, the whole unit came off. I'd suggest anyone else removing the optical drive to try and skip this step if possible. I don't feel comfortable soldering this back to the motherboard, so it looks like I'm stuck with just a tinny sounding left speaker.

I'd love to hear anyone else's story of soldering this same thing. I have the same issue and I think this was engineered badly. I do want my right speaker and sub woofer working again. I've got the tools but don't want to have to take the logic board out. Any tips?

I baked my logic board today 2011 early macbook pro. In the process I managed to break the %#*@ thing off the board. But this isn’t so bad being that its been laying around for two years and I thought it was completely broken. I have now an oldschool macbook again which runs sierra and is still relavant in todays specs. With just one speaker. Better then nothing right.

I had the same issue, and tried to solder it. The first day, it worked fine, but I only had a cross sign on my battery icon, as if it was not recognizing it properly. It could be run by battery though (!? strange). The second day, it would not even turn on. I think the logic board is gone! Is there an easy fix that I can try or should I say goodbye to the old friend?

I guess many of us are lured to upgrade storage by converting the optical drive to ssd . I am uncertain that this can be fixed by soldering but I hope it can. However I will consider this as minor problem so that I will not be tempted to solder it or bring it to repair shop.

The best solution I can give is to buy a good speaker or just use a headphone rather than solder it and completely destroy the logic board. That will give us even more stress
