It is possible the tech forgot to reattach the internal microphone cable during the battery replacement. Most Apple laptops require having all internal components removed for a battery replacement. Apple's internal design layout is horrendous with cables everywhere making it very difficult to reinstall the Logic Board since the cables must all be pulled out of the way, but sometimes a cable can get pinched beneath the Logic Board & can easily be overlooked by a tech.


Take the laptop back to have them make things right.
