    • Remove the two 5-Point Pentalobe screws along the top edge of the battery.

    • You do not necessarily have to follow steps 3-6 to remove the battery in order to replace the hard drive. However it is recommended to remove all power sources from electronics before working on them.

    Question: why do you remove the battery? According to Apple's official manual, this is not required (not for the mid-2009 and not for the mid-2010 15-inch MacBook Pro) - see pages 37 ff:

    I'm interested by your experience.

    Did you have removed the optical drive without removing the battery ?

    I'm just in this step now and if it is possible I would proceed like you because removing the battery void the warranty (and there is a sticker).

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like my note to step 3 appears on all repair guides that have the same step. I meant that in the context of the hard drive replacement only.

    Did you have removed the optical drive without removing the battery ?

    I haven't yet done anything, waiting for my MacBook Pro 15 inch mid-2010 to arrive.

    alexkli - Ответить

    I missed the notes and went ahead and purchased the 5 point driver for the battery before I realized it was not necessary.

    I've edited the repair guide to remove the section on the battery, but I don't have the points to approve the changes.

    Chris Davis -

    Please note - the step about removing the battery is part of a pre-requisite guide, that is used for many of the guides, most that do require removal of the battery. Also, working inside a disassembled laptop with the battery still connected risks damaging/shorting out very expensive parts.

    Eric Essen - Ответить

    Absolutely. To be clear -- ALL of the above discussion is ONLY in reference to replacing the hard drive.

    Chris Davis -

    I replaced a hard drive in a MacBook Pro of an earlier model than this without removing the battery. The hard drive wasn't right. It only worked at about half speed, and I had to replace it once more. The second time I removed the battery and all went well. The recommendation by the iFixit staff to remove the battery before working on electronic equipment is a good one.

    What is the size of those screws... I have rounded off the socket on mine and would like to replace them.

    Ghatothkach Yadav - Ответить

    I measured the screw size, using a micrometer, its about 1.523mm in diameter and 3.186mm in length. Not sure what screw size that is. They are not easily available I guess, unless someone is selling used ones on ebay

    • Use the tip of a spudger to bend back the finger of the "Warning: Do not remove the battery" sticker while you remove third five-point Pentalobe screw hidden underneath.

    • Lift the battery by its plastic pull tab and slide it away from the long edge of the upper case.

    • Do not try to completely remove the battery just yet.

    Removing the battery is not necessary for the hard drive removal/replacement procedures.

    My T6 (appears to be same screw driver you have - $6 on amazon for 20piece set) did NOT fit int he battery screws...not sure if I had the wrong screws or what, but I went ahead w/o battery steps and it was pretty easy.

    Anthony Ettinger - Ответить

    I also noticed that the new SDD (from crucial) didn't have the 4 screws, so I had to move those off the old HD and onto the new one.

    Anthony Ettinger -

    Just had the same issue: T6 does not fit the battery screws ;-( ... but with a little bit more preassure it was possible to remove the screws.

    • Tilt the battery back enough to access the battery cable connector.

    • Pull the battery cable connector away from its socket on the logic board and remove the battery from the upper case.

    • If you're installing a new battery, you should calibrate it after installation.

    • Use a spudger to pry the fan connector straight up off the logic board.

    • It is useful to twist the spudger axially from beneath the fan cable wires to release the connector.

    • The fan socket and the fan connector can be seen in the second and third pictures. Be careful not to break the plastic fan socket off the logic board as you use your spudger to lift the fan connector straight up and out of its socket. The layout of the logic board shown in the second picture may look slightly different than your machine but the fan socket is the same.

    • Remove the three T6 Torx screws securing the left fan to the logic board.

    • Lift the fan out of the upper case.

    Top left screw in this picture isn't a torx screw, and should be left in place. The screw you want is a bit further down than the one circled.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the left fan connector from the logic board.

    • Pry up from beneath the wires.

    I didn't understand the description of the step to remove the fan connectors and I broke them both off. However! If anyone else does this, don't panic, the soldered connections are not electrical; they're just there to secure the fan connector. If you have the equipment you may be able to solder them back on, but I just put the whole thing back together - carefully sliding the jack back over the pins - and held it down with polyimide tape. I am using my Macbook Pro right now and the fans are definitely working.

    • The camera cable connector is not secured by any locking or snapping mechanism. Hence, Apple sticks a small strip of black plastic with adhesive applied to the side facing the logic board behind the camera cable connector to keep it in its socket.

    • When moving the strip (cable retainer) out of the way, be sure not to break any surface-mounted components off the logic board.

    • Hold the end of the cable retainer down with one finger while you use the tip of a spudger to slightly lift the other end and rotate it away from the camera cable connector.

    • Disconnect the camera cable by pulling the male end straight away from its socket.

    • Pull the connector parallel to the face of the logic board, not straight up.

    Could not figure out what this step was telling me to do. The warning made me very cautious. Never got the board out because of this step. (Then I broke the subwoofer, but I can live with that.)

    I’ve tried to clear things up in a pending modification, since I also had problems getting the point of this step. Hope it helps.

    The “strip” is the shiny black thing on the photo. The tip of the spudger is “pointing” at it on the photo. In fact it is already pushing the “strip” out of the way to be able to pull out the connector.

    I finally got my system back together & running so much cooler after removing, cleaning the heat sink & repasting the CPU die & the two GPU dies. But working backward from this step to put it back together was most arduous: neither camera nor WiFi/Bluetooth worked when I first put the system back together. This is because it was hard to gauge that this connector was indeed back together and hold it so, based on 12 year-old fabric-padded adhesive alone. In the end, I checked that no pins in the connector were bent, guided them in as firmly as a flat spudger (not my hand, which twisted the cable at an angle) would allow, held it in the connector bay with electrical tape, put the fabric cushion back on top of that, and electrical taped across the cushion, between the connector bay and the cable. Phew! After tons of trial and error, put the system back together & both WiFi/Bluetooth and the camera work again!

    • Using the flat end of a spudger, pry the subwoofer connector straight up from the connector jack.

    • Be careful to pry the connector, not the socket. It's possible to accidentally pry the socket up from the logic board.

    • Removing the foam applied to the top of the connector will make it easier to see and avoid prying up the socket.

    Not sure what this is supposed to do. I tried to gently pry subwoofer off but it broke. :-(

    boz - Ответить

    guy's this is the same kind of connector as the fan is and it would better to use the axial twist technique then pulling up at the connector side like i did and damaged the subwoofer connector...

    • Use your fingernail to flip up the locking flap on the ZIF socket for the keyboard ribbon cable. The locking flap is located at the opposite side of the socket compared to the keyboard ribbon cable. Hook your fingernail under it and carefully lift it up vertically.

    • Do not attempt to slide the keyboard ribbon cable out of its socket before you have unlocked the ZIF socket. Ribbon cables are fragile and excessive force will easily break them.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to slide the keyboard ribbon cable out of its socket.

Great guide. The locking flaps in Steps 18, 21 and 23 are a little hard to decipher in the pictures. I accidentally pulled out the keyboard ribbon cable without unlocking its retaining flap, but I apparently got it in back correctly (after lifting the flap) and didn't break anything because everything works now. This has solved the charging problems I've had for years. I should be able to get a couple more useful years out of this machine now.

Question: In My late model 2011 MacBook Pro is the pin port replaceable? The actual pins? It looks from the photo (step 28) as though it is adhered to the board. The receiving pins in the port in my Notebook are burning away and charging plug contact is greatly affected.

Amster Dam - Ответить

I replaced the MagSafe board following this guide, as the pins in the old one were bent and crufty.

I now see a dim green light when connected to the new MagSafe port. However, I press the power button, and nothing happens. I disconnected the power source and took off the cover to maker sure all of the connections were re-connected. Everything, at least that’s visible without removing the logic board again.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
