Einleitung

Voraussetzung beim Ausbau des oberen Gehäuses

Werkzeuge

Spudger

Schritt 1

Der linke Lautsprecher ist am oberen Gehäuse festgeklebt. Löse ihn mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers ab.
Entferne den linken Lautsprecher vom oberen Gehäuse.

Not necessary to remove this. I was replacing a top case that included the speakers.

Same as the speaker in Step 29, which seems like it can also be left in place.

This step is required only if also replacing the keyboard.

Replacing the entire top case is not necessary with the common spilled beverage situations. You can purchase a trackpad as well as keyboard for much less than the cost of an entirely new top case. Why replace the expensive aluminum top case unless it is itself broken which is unlikely.

Airshack, this is not true for all models of the MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro

Schritt 2

Das Mikrofon ist an der linken Seite des oberen Gehäuses festgeklebt. Löse es mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers ab.
Benutze, falls nötig, einen iOpener oder einen Haartrockner, um den Klebstoff etwas zu erwärmen.
Entferne das Mikrofon vom oberen Gehäuse.

If you’re replacing a top case with one provided by Apple, you won’t need to transfer the microphone to the new top case.

Hot air really helps here.

I did not have an iOpener nor a blow dryer so I held it over a toaster for 15 seconds.

I really sweated over removing the microphone, but as Carroll mentioned, it’s not necessary since it was supplied with the iFixit upper case. Thanks, because it was a b*tch to remove and I probably damaged it in the process. Even with heat.
