I upgraded my NVMe and HDD last night. This morning, everything works EXCEPT my microphone. Obviously, there is a chance that I did not connect the microphone cable, but I’m 99.4% positive I did. Any chance someone can tell me where on the logic board the internal microphone connection is? Thanks to any/everyone who helps in advance! Update (05/06/2020) So, I tore it back open….and yes…I did not connect the microphone connector all the way…it was a bit loose. So I popped it back on and called the wife over FaceTime audio…and it worked PEREFECTLY! Once I buttoned it back up and powered it on…it stopped working…but not completely. It now will register sound if I tap on the Apple logo or anywhere on the case itself…but it won’t register voices…I’m a little stumped here. I’m going to open it back up on the 12th…when my new adhesive strips get here…any input will be greatly appreciated.
Apple loves moving them about! The 27” mid 2017 system has the mic on the bottom side of the main case just in the middle as seeing here About the external features and ports on iMac and iMac Pro Update (05/06/2020) @korngold - Sounds like you got the older tape kit which is different! Here’s the correct kit iMac Intel 27" (2012-2019) Adhesive Strips Here’s an image of the newer tapes
Tape #25 (946-07462) has the cutout with is about one third in on the right and tape #26 (946-0763) is the left side
