MacBook Air 13" M2 (2022) Headphone Jack Replacement

MacBook Air 13" M2 (2022) Headphone Jack Replacement Description
If wired headphones aren't detected, sound crackles or cuts out, only one side plays, or a broken plug is stuck inside, the 3.5 mm headphone jack needs replacing. On the MacBook Air M2 the jack sits on its own small audio board on the right side, connected by a cable, so we replace that board with a genuine part. The edge of the jack shows at its opening, so we fit one in your Mac's color.

Symptoms this repair should fix:

• Wired headphones not detected
• Crackling, cutting out or one side silent
• Broken plug stuck in the jack
• Mac shows headphones plugged in when they aren't

Find Out Which Mac You Have

The MacBook Air 13" M2 (2022) is Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air with the Apple M2 chip, released in 2022. Its model number is A2681. It comes in Silver, Space Gray, Starlight and Midnight, has a flat body of even thickness, a notch at the top of the screen, a MagSafe port and two USB-C ports on the left and a headphone jack on the right.

Option 1: Check About This Mac
If your Mac turns on, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. It should say MacBook Air (M2, 2022) and Chip: Apple M2.

Option 2: Mac won't turn on?
Turn it over: the model number (A2681) is printed in small text on the bottom case. You can also bring it to our shop and we'll identify it for you.

Is it the 15-inch M2 instead?
The 15-inch M2 MacBook Air (2023) looks the same but is larger: a 15.3-inch screen, about 13.4 inches wide instead of 12, and model number A2941 on the bottom case. Its parts are different, so see our MacBook Air 15" M2 (2023) repairs.

Looks the same but says A3113, A3240 or A3449?
Those are the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M3 (2024), M4 (2025) and M5 (2026) chips. They look almost identical, but some parts differ, so call or text us for a quote.

If your Mac isn't a MacBook Air 13" M2 (2022), see our Mac repair page or call or text us at (949) 903-6452 and we'll help you figure it out.
