Chosen Solution

Hello experts, I’m using Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010. My problem is that the subwoofer broke, producing buzzing sound, the sound produce vibrate the whole body of my macbook on certain frequency. I had open up my backplate of my macbook and checked, the subwoofer cone, the sort of leather like had peeled off which causing the sound produced buzz and vibrating the whole body. It’s an old model and I’m don’t wish to replace a new subwoofer and don’t mind the lack of surround sound. I’m not an expert so my question is that if I simply remove the cone of the subwoofer, disconnect the wire connecting cone, will it damage or cut off the circuit of the right speaker??? Is it right to do so. OR any experts please suggest how to disconnect the subwoofer from producing weird and vibrating buzz sound without disconnecting the right speaker. Anyhow I just don’t want to replace the whole right speaker component. Thanks and need help.

After years of usage, the subwoofer from the right speaker component will rattle cause of the cone leather to worn out and peel off. This causing the cracking and buzzing sound. This problem can be fixed by applying the cone with adhesive glue which is industrial grade and can withstand high temperature. This is a low cost and easy fix without replacing the whole subwoofer and right speaker and there are videos of guidelines that show how to apply the adhesive glue on the affected area of subwoofer.

I know this might be late but I actually had the same problem. I didn’t want to buy a new speaker and my subwoofer rubber has already been torn out excessively so no chance of glue to save it. I removed the subwoofer cone by cutting the wires connected to it and it worked fine. You may only experience less bass when listening to audio unless u are bothered by it then I would NOT recommend removing the subwoofer
