Remove the following ten screws:
-
Three 14.4 mm Phillips #00 screws
-
Three 3.5 mm Phillips #00 screws
-
Four 3.5 mm shouldered Phillips #00 screws
-
-
-
Use your fingers to pry the lower case away from the body of the MacBook near the vent.
-
Remove the lower case.
-
-
-
Remove any broken or damaged feet.
-
Remove any pieces from the old foot that may have broken off in the foot hole.
-
Use tweezers to peel up and remove the old adhesive tape from the foot pad.
-
-
-
-
Scrub the foot pad with adhesive remover to remove any remaining adhesive.
On my mid-2009 unibody MacBook Pro, there were thin, circular, black cloth pieces inside the case, covering the holes where the feet came through. I had to remove this tape, in order to push the feet through.

-
Wipe the foot pad with an alcohol prep pad to remove any residue left by the cleaner.
-
-
-
Align the new foot inside the foot pad.
-
Make sure the alignment nub on the foot is lined up with the small hole near the perimeter of the pad.
-
Lay the foot down while keeping it properly aligned.
-
Check for proper alignment from the inside of the lower case. Use tweezers to slide the alignment nub so it lines up with the hole.
-
-
-
Press the new foot down firmly with your finger and maintain pressure for 30 seconds to set the pressure sensitive adhesive. Support the other side of the cover while you press the foot down.
-
Repeat the last six steps for any broken or damaged feet.
My A1278 hasn't got holes in the backplate?
The feet just seem to be stuck on with adhesive.
Do I still have to unscrew the back?
Regards,
Rob.
Hi Rob,
If the backplate doesn’t have the holes, you can still use the feet by just glueing them on. You would not have to open the backplate.
I have been told that if you are using adhesive, you should follow these steps and remove the bottom.
This way, adhesive doesn’t get inside the machine.
Hi Larry,
That is definitely true, if you are adding liquid adhesives. The feet we sell come with adhesive pre-installed on the feet. All you have to do is peel and stick!

Fine tutorial !
I have an ecological proposal: no need of adhesive remover, an alcohol prep on a dish towel is enough to remove any remaining adhesive or residue. Less wastes !
How much weight can I save by removing the optical drive?

You can save a lot of weight if lets say your installing a solid state drive or putting in a second hard drive but if you know that you use the CD/DVD disc drive a lot then you might just want to leave the drive alone.

Tip: Use one of those weekday pill holders to have a cheep way to store screws you remove and each day of the week can be for different sizes or parts. It has been handy to have (much less expensive than the magnetic mat.

I have one stripped screw... How opening without drill it?! Any suggestions please?
rodrigosady - Ответить
I also stripped a couple screws. I wasn’t able to open it up without drilling. After drilling the heads and removing the cover it was easy to hacksaw the tip and unscrew with a standard driver.

We have a guide for that!
How to Remove a Stripped Screw

My top tip - make sure you buy good quality Phillips screwdrivers and a magnetic holder. Cheap screwdrivers won’t get the screws undone safely. Without a magnetic holder you have no chance of getting the tiny crews in and out safely.

A good Phillips 00 is your friend here. Also, when reinserting the screws, gently start anticlockwise and you wil feel a click at the start of the thread. This tells you you’re in the right place and less likely to cross-thread through force in the wrong place.

I feel like these are 000 screws. Amazon sales describe them as such and my 000 screwdriver fits better

Before ordering a new Trackpad remove the existing battery and try clicking the Trackpad. If it clicks OK with the battery out the source of problem is likely a swollen battery, which should to be replaced even if it still works to some degree. From the side of the battery you will likely see the soft part of the battery bulging beyond the hard case.

That’s absolutely correct as I can testify. With the battery removed I also adjusted the T6 set screw that adjusts the sensitivity of the trackpad click, evidently someone had cranked mine down tighter than the factory setting.

Le quatrième paragraphe dans les instructions en français n’est pas correct : ce ne sont pas les 2 petites vis, mais les 7 petites vis qui sont inclinées. Et les 3 grandes sont bien verticales.

Bonjour ! Merci de votre observation. J’ai corrigé la traduction. iFixit étant un wiki, n’hésitez pas à modifiez si vous remarquez une erreur :) Encore merci de votre attention et à bientôt !

Tip: if you have a magnetic screw mat or similar, lay the macbook over the mat to make sure it catches any screws that may decide to fall of and hide under your table

Funny, it's not her hands that are doing the close ups. :)

What's the difference between the shouldered and non shouldered screws? They look exactly the same to me.
