Important Service Considerations

• Important: Only Apple-certified technicians should repair this computer.

• Battery Safety: Before beginning any repair procedure, install the battery cover, disconnect the Battery Management Unit (BMU) flex cable and remove the BMU screw.

• Battery Service: The battery is not a replaceable part. Never remove the battery from the top case. To replace a battery, you must replace the top case.

• Diagnostics: After repair completion, verify the repair was successful by running the required diagnostics based on the repair module that was replaced .

• System Configuration: System Configuration must be performed after a display, logic board , Touch ID board , or top case repair.

• Logic Board and Touch ID Board: If you replace the logic board, you must also replace the Touch ID board. However, you don't need to replace the logic board if only the Touch ID board is replaced.

• Heat Sink: The heat sink is not separately serviceable. If a heat sink needs to be replaced, you must replace the logic board.

• Top Case:

• The top case comes with the battery, BMU, keyboard, microphone, and Touch Bar flex cables. If the battery, keyboard, or microphone must be replaced, you must replace the top case. Returned top cases must be packaged according to strict guidelines.

• Regional top cases have the same base part number, but they include a language code prefix (for example, Italian = T 661-18432). Be sure to choose the correct keyboard language when ordering a top case. Replacement top cases must use the same language as the original top case.
