Q: Macbook Pro Internal Speakers
The internal speakers of my Macbook Pro 13.3 inch are not working properly. The Apple store has suggested me to replace the left speaker. The total cost of replacement of one speaker is Rs. 9000/- including the diagonistics charges of Rs. 2500/- .
Please advice me whether to change the left speaker or use an external speaker.
I would also like to know whether non replacement of damaged speaker would affect any other parts/internal applications.
The cost of 1 speaker on 3rd party websites is between Rs. 600 to Rs. 1000.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Hard to say.
