My computer doesn’t have any audio device whenever I look at the “device manager” (I don’t remember the Mac OS name). It started after I dropped it almost perpendicularly to the floor, so I wonder whether the problem is with this daughter board or the main one… 🤔 Any ideas? The USB and magsafe ports work, but not the embedded microphone, nor the output jack, nor the speakers. :(

Replying to my past self:

The I/O board cable was not fully seated on the main board. I guess the shock made it move because the adhesive was already ripped and did not absorb the shock.

Hurray! I made a free repair job on my laptop! 😅
