I took the 1GHz iBook apart and inspected the cables for damage and found none, no pinch points or frays or other damage.

I started up the iBook while taken apart and noted the speakers do not make the loud buzz sound anymore. Occasionally, the speaker don't seem to work, or respond to keyed volume changes, (I.E. 'popping' sound when F3orF5 keys are pushed) in one account but will work in the other

Any ideas WTF is up with my issue?

I replaced both the screen (LCD + Digitizer) and replaced the entire dock port assembly (Port, ribbon connector, WiFi Antenna, Loud Speaker) and the screen now works, but the loud speaker still does not. The first time I turned it on, the loud speaker did make some distorted noise if I turned the volume up at least half way, but it has stopped making any sound since that initial time.

So as it currently stands, I have EVERYTHING working except for the loud speaker. I tried taking it back apart to make sure the loud speaker is seated properly and that all the screws were tight and everything seems to be installed correctly. I just have no idea how to proceed further and am hoping some of you might have experience with a similar problem.

So here are the facts:

-The phone is absolutely dry. that whole rain thing happened about a month ago and I checked everything when it was apart and there is no moisture in the phone.

-The two connector plates that the loud speaker terminals rest on to make a connection seem to have voltage across them if I touch a volt meter to them when music is playing. EDIT: The voltage here seems quite low compared to measuring the voltage that comes across the headphone jack when outputting to headphones.

-I've checked the headphone jack and proximity sensor to make sure they are both functioning properly and they seem ok.

How should I proceed from here? are there further things I can do to troubleshoot this? Is it possible that another part on the phone needs to be replaced other than the loud speaker (which I already tried replacing)

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time!

Update: I have discovered that if I turn the volume up ALL the way and press the phones speaker into my ear and sit in a quiet room I can hear the sound of the phone... BARELY... like, its so faint that you would never know sound was coming out of it.. I hope this information helps in some way.

Update 2: I took my loudspeaker out and plugged a headphone cord into the headphone jack and touched the loud speakers leads to the other end of the cord and it produced wonderful sound that way, so its not the loudspeaker.

Thanks everyone!

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2006 (Serial; *******WGK) and I dont know how to cool it correctly.

When I use a external Monitor I close the Lid, power up and then open it again so external Monitor works and MacBook is open But since that time it got very loud. And now its 68 Degrees Celcius, SOmetimes its over 75. Is it normal or too hot? How can I stand the MacBook Correctly?

It is on my lags now and underneath is a TV Program Guide so it gets a bit colder but fans are very loud!

thanks

I made a desktop computer recently. I'm currently using an AMD-FX8150 processor, 16gb or DDR3 Ram(Geil EVO I believe), a MSI R7970 Lightning Radeon HD 7970 3GB graphics card, a pathetic 320 GB SATA HDD hard drive, a 700 Watt power supply, and an ASUS M5A97 Motherboard. I have a case fan in my case as well, but I know that one is not causing problems(tested it on its own).

What I'm wondering is which of my other 3 fans are being loud (cpu fan, GPU fans, and PSU fan). Another piece of information is that I'm using the stock CPU fan. It is not something that is ruining my computer, but it is kind of annoying. Also, my computer is not overheating so I know they are not overworked.

Thanks!
