Macbook Pro Fix (red light)

[freakinyaya88]

This tip fixed my macbook headphone jack!!

Thanks man

Just wanted to let you know that your video was very simple yet VERY effective

[freakinyaya88]

does this also fix the problem of not being able to hear anything when headphones are plugged in? Because i can hear audio through the built-in speakers, just not with headphones on

[PichuFan234]

DUDE I LOVE YOU!!!!! THANKS!!!!!

[BrosensYannis]

can u put it in text document and send it to yann.brosens@hotmail.com

[Neelia476]

Yay! Quick fix! This worked!!

[selenagomezismuhlyfe]

Thank you boo!!!!!

[Classicschy]

Correct and simple instructions and will not confuse you! Awe!

[TheNewCod]

it workedddddddddddddd

[manzari98]

Thanks bro, Ive had this before and was able to fix it. I just twirled my headphone plug around. its thicker so its easier than a toothpick :)

[00mpollard]

That red light is the optical. I got it, just stick your headphones in as usual and twirl the headphone jack around...dont go sticking toothpicks etc in your expensive mac!!

[njt1982]

Worked for me too - the side he is talking about (9 o'clock) is on the USB/Power socket side of the hole.

[kimmiespeaks]

thank you so much!!

[thedirtydropouts1]

cheers



[HodaLabib3]

THANK YOUU !!! :)

[iindependentashlii]

Yay! After watching this, I fixed my macbook. Thanks!

[nz474]

After going through about 20 videos this one helped. Thanks man (:

[Djcheff10]

FUCK I CAN'T EVEN HEAR THE SOLUTION BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM !

[reflectionsvideosoc]

Thank you so much, I just did this on my wife's macbook pro. I did what you said and put the toothpick about the 9-10 o'clock position and slightly moved it back and fourth until I heard itunes playing. Once it started playing I left the toothpick in the same spot for a few second then removed it. Now we have sound. Thanks again.....

[masterm1k3]

Thanks.

[alexeverlyn11]

thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also i did what he said, didn't work for a min....and then put your lap top on your side with itines runing and put your earphones in and out in and out really quickly. and then the song started playing :D

thanks again you just saved me from 2 hours of stress and tears!

[mmaest24]

[CornerScone]

[Zn1perK1d]

[Malosovich]

[firasghannam]

IT WORKED :) thx dude

[DalsChannel]

[lolwtfh4xomgpr0]

[totallyautomatic0]

thanks brosephina it worked for me :D

[327bran]

ok guys so this is what i did...

i pretty much headphone raped my computer. (best way to put it)

i took my head phones and plugged them in out in out in out in out (yea you like that dont you) haha nah but really it worked if you dont want to use toothpicks and what not. by the way do it fast for best results. (and dont forget to pull out in time if you dont want a bunch of little ipods running around ;D  )

[oxiate]

@327bran DId the same thing. I was fiddling around with a toothpick for about ten minutes and the headphones took me ten seconds to fix the sound. Thanks.

[apesino]

just wanted to say thanks. It worked on my macbook.

[llARS3N4Lll]

Thank You. No more "Red Light of Deaf"

[KingPineappleMan]

[elcharlatan45]

[convictim]

THANK YOU MAN!

[treisav]

THANK YOU!

[RichUncleFloyd]

I was watching this video with my headphones plugged in. Then I rewound to the start to use your video as an audio indicator, and lo and behold I take my headphones out and the problem is instantly fixed! I didn't even have to hunt for the sensor or anything. You are clearly a wizard and I bow down before you.

[jdebro]

Okay you said it right and I did exactly what you showed us... and all I can say is Awesome! Thanks so much - what a pain, but it works now. I spent hours reading all kinds of fixes, but yours is the only one that actually worked...

[xlogic23]

WORD

[MillerGenuineCraft]

YEAH! it worked after a couple minutes of trying!

[ameanie68]

I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG OMG OMG OMG Ive been like this for months now and i had no idea it was about the red light i just thought it was about the stop sign when i'd turn the volume up.

[youngboifresh12]

[youngboifresh12]

[lu88ke]

[paulkongmusic]

[clevman06]

YO!!!! GOOD LOOK!. it happened to me a while ago and i just jammed my headphones in then it worked fine. but it happened again and this joint helped

[eoj0204]

This was very helpful, It hacked me off to a fe days but managed to finally do it by chance lol my local Apple shop wanted to charge me £70 to look at it then £20 an hour after that... so you saved  a shitload!! Thanks = )

[bufu51]

thanks it work for me

[augwevo]

it'd be great if I could hear the audio. but i've got the 'Red Light' : (

[spontaneousgiraffe]

@augwevo plug in headphones and watch this

[327bran]

@augwevo headphones still work with the red light ;)

[GameBot78]

@augwevo try pressin the little cc button?

[JuicyMangos3690]

@augwevo AUDIO WORKS WITH HEADPHONES

[GreyThreat112]

@augwevo put a toothpick in the hole (that's not what she said) on the left there's a little sensor at 9 o'clock and u wanna move it down to about 6 o'clock and hold it there.

[thesillywoman]

thank you!!!

[CHEFBOYERZ]

Your a factor bruh! Thanks for the help

[kereti71]

Yipee, this even works in New Zealand

[feefeeheehee]

thank you so much! i was freaking out till i found your video! :) 

[bravoechonovembera]

absolute genius! worked perfectly. although for me, the switch thing was on the bottom of the hole, at the 6 o'clock position. don't know if its different between macbooks or macbook pros, but just thought i'd let you guys know.

thanks again!

[junlu972]

YES jfactor05. Thank you.

[yevgenieva]

You're a Star!!!! Exactly 5 secs and it was fixed... now I can hear you through the terrible speakers of my old Mac and the sound is such a relieve:)) Thank you!

[lilphsy]

OMG thank you, took me like 5 seconds, Was trying for hours before that. Cheers mate ;) x

[souperfunk]

the method I used was a mini-screw driver (like the ones for glasses) and turned it counter clockwise a few times and it popped the sound back on

[hustler12345678123]

Legend

[lilarie4lyfe]

wow took me an hour but it worked, thankyou ssooooo much

[karloser]

[tybach2236]

[justeddify]

I had just tried to twiddle a stick in the port at random but it wasn't working. Thanks for the video. IT WORKED!!!!

[fakemail2289]

Hey thanks your method worked!

One thing that may help someone else, on my regular (not the Pro) Macbook the sensor was at the 3'o clock position (looking into the hole) and there were 2 sensors at the 3'o clock position, it was the second sensor (the one farthest back in the hole).

[uboy29]

thanks 

[51jenjen]

But after i fixed it it still comes back like after i put the toothpick in then i put my heaphones out after fixing it it came back D:

[mem0bem0]

thanks . fixed mine :)

[51jenjen]

nevermind it took me like 10 minutes lol

[51jenjen]

It not working D:

[jfactor05]

I'm glad I could help anybody who benefited from this video, if u have any other questions let me know.

[ba7ni]

@jfactor05 i try try try try but nothng!!!!the problem is that i don't see the thing that i have to touch

[tchappe4]

thanks bro!

[dufour1985]

IT WORKS JUST PUT A TOOTHPICK IN IT AT 9 OCLOCK AND HOLD IT A FEW SECONDS AND IT WILL FIX IT. IT WORKED FOR ME THANKS

[Highspeedpotato]

YEAH IT WORKED

[wowfan203]

funny thing is i put my headphones in to listen to it i took it out and my sound was back lol Thx anyway

[fairygirl]

I've been having this problem for a few days now and I still can't manage to make it work... I've used a toothpick, a bobby pin, the tip of the headphone jack and nothing. Somebody HELP please? :s

[fairygirl]

...Nevermind, somehow it fixed itself o_O

[J2theNard]

clutch thanks a million man!!

[jozlynnprime]

hahahah; just a quick comment... how should I go about hearing this video if my sound isn't working ><

just sayin'... hahahhaha

[lordlorenzo]

@jozlynnprime lmao owned. ok take a toothpick or led or something that fits in the hole. wait until 9 o clock or so (a flashlight might help if you cant see) find a like censor thing in the hole and stick the toothpick or whatever inthere so its touching the light and censor. hold it for 5 seconds and have like itunes or something playing in the background so you can hear it. thats basically what he said :)

[Niteporte]

Thanks for the tip. It worked the first time with a toothpick.

[jemil123456789]

thank you

[hessboy67]

thanks this happened to me for the first time tonight. i used a paperclip, and it worked really well.

[SirPuppumHat]

Right after seeing this, I took out my headphones and, voila. Red light gone. Problem fixed by itself.

[lynguttsteff]

what is he saying........ you see, my headphone jack has a red light coming out of it, and i do not have any audio.....? -.-

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Thanks. You helped me fix my cousin's MacBook Pro.

[janko138]

he says 9 oclock but is pointing at 3 aclock????? is the video on mirror what is it acually 9 aclock or 3 aclock also there are first like 3 little balls 9oclock, 6 and 3 and there are also 2 other tingys way back neer the ligh one at 9 oclock and one at 3 witch is it???

[mhcblues22]

this is ironic cuz my audio doesnt work so i cant hear wat hes saying LOL

[Video1to5]

@mhcblues22 you can hear audio if you plug in headphones

[stevendiazzz]

THANK BRO!!!!

[iain42]

You rock : ) Thanks

[trnsus3]

a needle worked better for me. thank you :)

[famaura5]

thanks so much man!

[msinclairthomson]

Thanks for this, very useful. :)

[seanypoooo]

will you actually marry me LOL thank youuuuu however it isnt as technical i just stuck itin for 5 seconds while the light went out then wiggled the fuck out of it and it worked LOVE YOU :P x

[tobin2517]

You mean 3:00 not 9:00.

[DEADPIGE0N]

Sweet, thanks man!

[taviswardlaw]

i just stuck my headphones back in, pulled them out and it was fine... It's obviously some sort of dodgey connection. VERY gently wiggling your headphone jack in seems to fix it.

[TheMikeyPhotog]

OH SHIT!!!!! Aye Jfactor dude that worked!!!! PERFECT! like try number 3.

HEY if you guys are having the same prob watch this and listen.... takes a sec to find the hump but works perfecto. And I am NOT a robot i'm a real azz person @mikeyphotog.

Peace JFactor!!! Thanks a lot bro...

[zsuzsi0]

Ah man, thx.

[johnwblaul]

Thank you so much!

[bernardkay93]

It worked, but as soon as I let go the sound dies out again. I held it for 2 minutes but still didn't work

[boulderhippie]

that was so annoying took a minute but once i found it boom sound. thanks so much dude

[zero76789]

fuck yeah man, thanks!

[GeorgeBrandrick1]

you my friend, are a genius.

[GuillermoMunoz1991]

ty so much i thud my mom was going to kill me if i didnt get this fix.

[amybella183]

wow, thank you so much! You are the first to explain it so it actually worked for me. Now I can actually hear the video without plugging in my headphones lol!

[FilmHistoryVideoTape]

Toothpick didn't work for me, BUT jiggling my headphone jack in there the same was on my Macbook (pressing towards the right side) did work. Thanks so much!!

[eliudis123]

don't poke ur mac ! do some research its a driver problem..... please read the manual the red light problem its described there

[lyphewear]

thank youuuu!! it worked super fast for me :)

[gochyofpont]

Legend!!!! Worked for me in minutes !

[JCxIvlogs]

thank u it worked i was fukn scared haha

[Cutie2nv177]

AAHHH OMFFG!! thank you so0o0 much it definatly werkd all i hada do was jiggle it around in thea 4 a bit nd then the light just sudenly turn off for mi it was definatly a life saver thank u so much !!

[EllekeA]

THNX DUDE!!!

:D It works

Greets from The Netherlands....

[kaykan0]

thank you so much it works......yuo are the man

[connorshram]

thank you! works great. it was kind of funny to try to follow along to your audio instructions about how to fix the audio... haha

[crimberland]

from 1:44 sums it up with the smugness of doing it and the classic laugh from the back.

Peace

[HuggstersPlace]

Thanks a lot, it worked first time. Very clear instructions.

[cadetwade]

I tried that, and it still doesnt work

[curtrocks17]

thank you!! you should work at the genius bar lol

[rockstar186]

Thanks Bro! It worked.

For the benefit of everyone, the bit that sticks out is actually to the left (9 oClock.) Get a cocktail stick and poke the small protrusion on the left. Eventually you will know you've fixed the problem when the red light switches off.

Hope that helps

PS. Apple needs to really sort themselves out.

[ba7ni]

please...i don't understand really!!if i watch inside the hole...i have to see this part that i have to touch??the only thing that i have now is a hole more larger.....

[xplosion29th]

thank you very much! this totally helped :P very clear explanation, AWESOME!

[KassetteKid]

Thank you so much! worked first time!

[ba7ni]

i have tried 100 tiimes....nothing...i don't understand!

[u2datube]

[enjoipandas]

many many thanks

[LaBetuza]

Thanks man

[oohheywhatsup]

I could kiss you

[delucey]

this would help if there was text because i cant hear what your saying! but thx for the help nonetheless

[drfowzi]

Thanks sir,your advice was really excellent, but I did it by use an compacted soft hand paper for do't to harm the sensor inside.Thanks again.

[rsxcget]

I was having problems like this and I got a bobby pin and wiggled it in the port until the light flicked and then went off. Thank you for posting this vid. look forward to more videos.

[londonspokenword]

this is good and really helpful advice

this is exact thing happened to me and this is how i solved it.

you should do another one with captions I had to figure it out on my own bcz I couldnt hear you

[petitetouale]

Hello! I had been having this problem for months. I tried this method and many others to fix it but nothing worked. I finally fixed it by cutting a Q-tip in half, dipping it in rubbing alcohol and rubbing the sides of the hole to clean it. I don't know if it's safe for the computer, but if you are desperate like me you can try this :)

[chadleweb]

@petitetouale This one worked for me

[mehran83]

Thanks a lot mate. Works like a charm.

[tippete123]

thanks.. ...

[jfactor05]

@tippete123 your welcome

[lpmhamy]

thank you so muchh... it works. ... you just saved me a new Mac ^^ work with Macbook too xxx

[mojibawi1]

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH it worked perfect.

[AustnPatton]

i dont get it i cant get it to work what sensor

[jfactor05]

if you look at the red light u should see something that looks like a hump at about 11 o clock infront of the red light

[AustnPatton]

i know thanks i got it like 10 min after i posted the comment then it stopped working then i did it again and bam success

[jfactor05]

To everybody who has benefited from this video, just wanna say your very welcome. If you have anymore Mac question post them up.

[kevlolution]

excellent, that worked straight away!
