This machine was exposed to liquid and would not start up. It initially presented with corroded left speaker amps, a shorted backlight driver UP800, as well as liquid-damaged trackpad. After cleaning and replacement of speaker amps UR660/UR630/UR600 and UP800 the machine is functional except for audio. The speakers show up as output devices in macOS but they produce no sound. Neither headphones nor microphone work. Any ideas?

Both measure 0.32 in diode mode and 1.2V in voltage mode. No shorts there.

Correction: I do get sound through headphones now, just not the speakers.

Success! I found that one of the right speaker amps was also liquid damaged (UR760). Replacement restored sound on speakers. Apparently, all 6 amps must be functional for speaker audio.

Incidentally, do you know which speaker amps (A-C, D-F) correspond to what frequency ranges? Thanks.

To find out which frequency range the amplifiers belong to, follow the signal to the FPC of the speaker, there it says woofer or tweeter
