Hi,
I have a 15" MBP and recently a red light has appeared in the headphone jack. This red light coincides with the loss of audio from internal speakers. I've tried pulling a haedphone minplug in and out to no avail. Red light = NO AUDIO. Any help is greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), MBP 13.3 2.7 GHZ 8GB i7
The fix is very simple -.-
Plug the earphone back in, then while pressing and holding one of the volume buttons you plug out the earphone.
Blowing into the headphone jack helped but the sound kept tripping on and off then i twisted some paper in the shape of a toothpick and stuck it in there, twisted it around, in and out then voila! The sound was back! Hope it stays this way, last time I went to the Apple store I was told they cannot do anything for my laptop bcos it is 5 years old, Apple no longer stock its parts, sadly. I thought that was silly but thats a story for another day! lol
I hope this helped someone! (:
THIS GUY IS A GENIUS ! I TRIED EVERYTHING, UNPLUG THE BATTERY, DIASSEMBLE THE WHOLE LAPTOP, BLOWING AIR INTO THE PORT, TOOTHPICKING AND NOTHING WORKED. I PLUGGED AND UNPLUGGED THE JACK IN MY LAPTOP A FEW TIMES AND IT CAME BACK TO LIFE. THANK YOU SO MUCH !
Get a toothpick, insert it and gently turn the toothpick in a circular motion around the internal circumference of the jack until the light goes off.
Blowing air into the port worked for me - definitely worth a try for anyone else with this problem.
Thanks! 🙂
Blowing air into the port worked for me as well!
Great and thanks. Annoying, but simple enough to fix. Will re-install Snow Leopard. Use the audio-out port a lot, and perhaps is the reason the file corrupted.
Quick update. The problem is physical. If blowing does not work, get a toothpick and lightly jiggle it in the port (what I had to do after blowing only partially restored sound).
It worked for me! Yey!!!! Thanks sooo much 😀I was beginning to panic
➕ I just put my headphone cable in and twisted it a couple of times and the audio came back to life!!!! Defintly was worth trying this out before driving 2 hours to apple!! 😁
Your solution of *pressing a volume button while removing the headphones out of the jack* totally worked for me! Thank you so much.
There's a typo in the above post.
It should read:
After the first 32 figures enter 00 87 0d 00
Don't forget (like I did !) to repair disk permissions in Disk Utility after the surgery
Works!! Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem but using this method I can't disable the digital output and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I have an iMac Late 2013 running Yosemite. Please help me!! Thanks
