(sigh) fried my 2015 MBP
Got the iFixit kit to replace the battery in my Mid-2015 Retina MBP, which was a workhorse.

After reassembling a 2017 21.5" retina iMac (the one where there is a single mic at the bottom of the display, as opposed to previous generations which had 2 mics near the iSight at the top), and being careful that the adhesive strips on the bottom don't block the mic, I noticed the microphone... -
