The logic board repair quote was extremely expensive as my warranty is over and the charge probably includes replacing all 16Gb of memory too as it's soldered in and I said I didn't think that last suggestion was very Apple-like - I'd need to carry around an ugly USB adapter and an external speaker/mic device just to hear sound!Įverything else works fine on my computer, so I'm willing to get my multimeter out and start testing hardware but I'm not sure where to start (I/O card / Logic board?).

replace the logic board as we don't replace individual components, or.

I also went to see a Genius at the Apple Store - they did their tests and said 'there's only two options:

an isopropyl alcohol swabbed q-tip cotton swab.

tried disconnecting battery then rebooting.

I downloaded and booted the ASD software EFI and OS diagnostics - no errors.

looking in the hole with microscope & 1.8mm led to illuminate - can't see anything obstructions in the hole.

tried logging in via a new user account.

tried PRAM/NVRAM resets (I don't hear the 'chime' sound).disk utility and run disk repair (no errors).repeatedly plugging & unplugging different types audio equipment to the headphones port (including apple headphones).I've tried all of the following in the listed order but nothing's changed: I've hunted and hunted all over the internet trying all various suggestions that others have had success with - I've tried all of the following, but still no luck: In 'system information', when I look in sound hardware.so it's not the optical speaker switch problem most people seem to have. NO RED LIGHT coming from headphone jack.checked System Preferences->Sound settings: nothing showing up under the Output or Input tabs (no 'Internal Speakers' showing up).I see the volume no-access icon (circle with diagonal line through it) when trying to change volume.No sound coming from output jack (headphones or external speakers).

Built-in speakers don't make any sounds.just like I did everyday before that, but for some reason this time I didn't get any sound output and the volume feedback was delayed when I tried to turn the volume up/down. It has *not* experienced any water damage or drops, but I'm pretty sure this problem started when I plugged in my external power speakers' amp to the headphone jack. I am really stumped by this problem, and I'm really hoping you guys can help as I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue.īasically, I get no audio from my MacBook Pro Retina 13' Late 2013 A1502 16Gb 2.6GHz - everything else works beautifully as ever with this machine (incl USB & power) apart from the sound.
