MacBook Pro (13 Zoll, Mitte 2010, Unibody) linken Lautsprecher tauschen

Schritt 1

Entferne die folgenden 10 Kreuzschlitz-Schrauben, die die Gehäuse-Unterseite des MacBook Pro 13" Unibody befestigen:
Sieben 3 mm Schrauben.
Drei 13,5 mm Schrauben.

Compare the short screws carefully before reinstalling them. The shouldered screws go in the holes on the front edge.

Before I started removing any screws I took a piece of paper and drew the bottom of the laptop and put a piece of double-sided tape in the spot where each screw goes. That way when I took out the screws, I could put them on the tape so I knew exactly which screw went in which spot. I did the same thing for dismantling the inside on another sheet of paper, then a third sheet for the screen after getting the front glass off.

I use a similar technique: I print out the iFixit manual for the job, and Scotch-tape down the screws/brackets/cables I remove at each step next to the component descriptions. That way, when I'm reassembling, the bits are taped right next to the photo of where they came from.

That's exactly what I do for all my repairs! It's the best way to keep track of all of the parts ' original location and to make sure that you don't miss any parts during reassembly.

Great idea and one I use often

Thomas Overstreet - 30/08/15

Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing it here.

Laura Sharkey - 14/08/16

I used a 00 that fit but the screws were very tight so I used a tiny paintbrush with some wd40 on it and put it around the edges of the screws. Worked like a charm

valentinedhdh - 07/04/15

I use a magnetic mat and place the screws in order on that :)

Schritt 2

Hebe die Unterseite vorsichtig an und drücke sie Richtung Rückseite des Laptops, um die Halterungsclips zu lösen.

In the introduction you should link fixers to this excellent doc: https://www.ifixit.com/Misc/HD_Software_...

It is really critical, super easy, and free(!) to clone your existing drive onto the new one you will install. I ran into one error, but SuperDuper! support replied immediately on how to fix it...Thanks ifixit and SuperDuper! (I ponied up the $28 for the software anyway, I was so impressed!)

Long story short: I drank the AppleKoolAid back in 1984 and have always left the guts of my machines up to Apple - until recently when I needed to swap the SATAs from my original MacDaddy (2009 13" MBPro that I killed in 2018 - coffee + blackout = OOOOPS) into a pristine 2009 MBPro from a Goodwill in North Carolina through eBay. I need the files from iCal and MacMail that can't be opened in my newer machines.

Well . . . I ain't never done nuttin' like that, before!

Enter Luke Miani on YouTube. He raves about you guys! So, I watched everything I could, read your site, bought the right tools and at the ripe old age of 72, I sat down, this morning and did the work. Now my original MacDaddy lives in MacDaddy2.0.

Am I allowed to cry?

Seriously, I can't thank you enough for your bitchen site and killer tools. I wish I'd'a been turned on to this shizzle 30+ years ago.

IFIXIT - IDIGIT!

kath myers - 26/02/22

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That was a brilliant read.

Yes, I came across ifixit a few years ago. Totally helped me out on several occasions.

Glad your Mac repair journey worked out.

:)

Schritt 3

Wir empfehlen, vorsorglich den Akkuanschluss vom Logic Board zu lösen, um eine elektrische Entladung zu verhindern.
Löse mit der Kante eines Spudgers den Akkuanschluss nach oben, weg vom Sockel auf dem Logic Board.

Zitat von gansodesoya:

why is step 3 necessary?

Just to disconnect any power source to avoid damages by short-circuits.

MrKane -

How do you get that battery connector back on? Do you just press it in back in place after you're done?

Horace Chung -

yes. I usually plug it in before I screw it down so I can lift the battery a bit and have enough slack to be able to go straight down on the connector, otherwise it comes in on a bit of an angle, which can't be good (though not necessarily bad).

maccentric -

This step almost finished me, and I did extensive damage to the battery plug. Fortunately, I later replaced the battery, and the replacement came with a new plug! :) Newbies need to know - 1. The battery plug is like a thin lip on a thicker lip, so you need to pry BETWEEN 2 thin lips to get it off, else you are trying to yank out the socket. 2. Mine was initially VERY tight, and trying to get it out broke the plastic on all sides of plug, even though I was as careful as possible. Luckily, this didn't hurt functionality and I later replaced the battery. AFTER disconnecting once, it was never so tight again,

Schritt 4

Benutze einen Spudger um den Verbinder des Ventilatorkabels aus seinem Anschluss auf der Hauptplatine zu lösen.
Am Besten geht das, indem du den Spudger in seiner Längsachse verdrehst während du ihn unter den Ventilatorkabeln ansetzt, um den Verbinder zu lösen.
Im zweiten und dritten Bild siehst du den Verbinder und den Anschluss des Ventilators. Passe auf, dass du den Plastikanschluss nicht aus der Hauptplatine herausbrichst, wenn du das Kabel herauslöst. Die Hauptplatine sieht in deinem Gerät vielleicht ein kleines bisschen anders aus, als auf dem zweiten Foto, aber der Ventilatoranschluss ist gleich.

The image is very misleading. This is why many people are breaking their connectors. Please correct this and make it VERY clear that one has to put the spudger straight behind the cables, NOT behind the connector, as shown in the pic.

Giunia - 23/07/17

Thankfully there is a helpful guide in the comments on this post for fixing the socket in the likely event that you snap the sucker clean off like I did:

I popped off the fan connection from the logic board...Fix?

agoodcourage - 13/11/17

As Giunia said I too just broke the connector only because the photo shows to slide a spudger between the connector socket and the motherboard. I am now out of my only computer. This is VERY frustrating.

Nha1234 - 02/06/21

Broke it as well the picture is very misleading.

Christian Flores -

Schritt 5

Löse die folgenden drei Schrauben:
Eine 7 mm Torx T6 Schraube
Zwei 5,4 mm Torx T6Schrauben

Schritt 6

Hebe den Ventilator aus dem oberen Gehäuse.

Schritt 7

Fasse die Zuglasche am Sicherungsbügel des Display-Datenkabels an und drehe es in Richtung der Seite mit DC-in Buchse.
Ziehe den Verbinder des Display-Datenkabels vorsichtig direkt aus seinem Sockel heraus, parallel zum Logic Board.
Ziehe das Kabel nicht nach oben, damit könntest den Anschluss kaputt machen.

On my system the pad on top of the connector was shifted making the bracket difficult to rotate into the up position. The bracket looks like a handle so my first instinct was to pull it straight up. Big mistake. I ended up popping the brass guard off the connector on the logic board. The instructions could benefit from an arrow indicating the direction to pull and rotation of the bracket.

Schritt 8

Drehe folgende Kreuzschlitzschrauben heraus, die die Befestigungsklammer des Display-Datenkabels am Gehäuse sichern:
Eine 8,6 mm Kreuzschlitzschraube
Eine 5,6 mm Kreuzschlitzschraube
Hebe die Klammer des Display-Datenkabels aus dem Gehäuse.

Schritt 9

Heble die Verbinder vom Subwoofer und rechten Lautsprecher mit dem flachen Ende eines Spudgers vom Logic Board.

Push it straight down. It should snap in.

BobG - 12/02/17

The first time i tried this on a MBP 13 I broke the connector form the board. It should be noted that you have to be very careful in this step, as the plug fits very tightly and you can easily use too much force to tear the connector from the board. Use a second spudger to hold down the connector at its border and try very gently using a second spudger to move the plug out of the connector upwards.

Joachim Kathmann - 16/08/20

Schritt 10

Ziehe den Stecker des Kamerakabels in die Richtung des optischen Laufwerks, um es vom Logic Board zu trennen.
Dieser Anschluss ist aus Metall und verbiegt sich leicht. Achte darauf, den Stecker und den Anschluss auf dem Logic Board zueinander auszurichten, bevor du die beiden Teile miteinander verbindest.

As mentioned, the socket can be easily damaged when re-inserting it. I didn't care enough and one pin was damaged. Wifi was not detected.

Hopefully the pin was not broken (only bent). Putting it back in its correct position, the wifi re-appeared.

Arnaud ROSAY - 22/07/16

Schritt 11

Heble die Verbinder vom optischen Laufwerk, von der Festplatte und vom Trackpad mit dem flachen Ende eines Spudgers vom Logic Board.

Schritt 12

Hebe die Sicherungsklappe am ZIF-Verbinder für das Flachbandkabel der Tastatur mit dem Fingernagel oder einer Spudgerspitze hoch.
Schiebe dann mit dem Spudger das Flachbandkabel der Tastatur aus dem Sockel.

Sometimes spulger is not the best tool to slide the cable out. If it is difficult to slide, try two toothpicks to pull the cable from two sides simultaneosly.

Leo Nikitin -

Toothpicks did the trick, thanks

Gábor SEBESTYÉN -

As Mateo said, replacing the zif cable is NOT easy, and in this case, will leave you with a computer that won't power on- this cable connects the power button. I learned a trick somewhere for dealing with these cables- put a piece of good sticky tape on the cable, and use it to pull it back into the connector. Works every time.

stevesontheroad - 16/09/16

Yeah! The tape trick worked for me. Thanks!

Ted Bishop - 13/11/17

Thank you Steve, it’s works perfectly.

never_forever18 - 07/12/17

Schritt 13

Ziehe das kleine Stück schwarzes Band vom Sockel des Flachbandkabels der Tastaturbeleuchtung ab.

Be very careful while taking this black tape off. I accidentally broke the chip off the motherboard and so my keyboard is not backlit any more.

Asim Akath - 01/11/14

Schritt 14

Hebe die Sicherungsklappe am ZIF-Verbinder für das Flachbandkabel der Tastaturbeleuchtung mit der Spudgerspitze hoch.
Schiebe dann mit dem Spudger das Flachbandkabel der Tastaturbeleuchtung aus dem Sockel.

Be especially careful as my hole socket detached from the board. It would have helped to vertically press the socket to the board with the tip of a spudger. Thus partially blocking the strap, you can first peel the free end, then change position and peel the rest. Slide the ribbon cable perfectly horizontally.

Rainer -

I had the same issue of trying to get the ZIF cable back in but found that if I used a piece of scotch tape, it worked. I followed this guide. MacBook unibody keyboard ribbon cable won't go in

spearson - 07/09/14

A reassembly trick that works for me is to use some 3/4" blue painters tape to stick to the very back (lower end) of the ribbon cable so I can pull it up and back before locking the cam. Trying to get a good grip without cutting, or crimping the ribbon means no tweezers or pliers can be used.

originalmachead - 11/11/14

Schritt 15

Heble den Verbinder des Kabels der Akkuanzeige mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers aus dem Logic Board.

If you’re swapping top cases, you might need to remove the battery indicator from the case and swap it to the replacement top case. It attaches with three very tiny Phillips screws. I wasn’t aware that my replacement top case didn’t have this part and got confused when reversing the steps to reassemble and I didn’t have this connector. I had to take the battery back out in order to swap the indicator over.

Mark Barnes - 21/09/18

Interesting this guide doesn’t have you disconnect the battery after step 2 then shows it unplugged already in step 14.

plink53 -

I would recommend revision to this guide to put battery disconnection as the first step after opening the bottom case. First rule of logic/mother boards: don’t work on or around if power is applied.

dsfeehan -

Schritt 16

Löse die Klebeverbindung des Mikrofons am oberen Gehäuse mit der Spudgerspitze.

on the Australian/Asia version speaker cable is located underneath the logic board.

linuxuser101 -

Schritt 17

Entferne folgende Torx-Schrauben:
Zwei 7mm T6 Torx Schrauben an der DC-in Platine.
Fünf 3,3 mm T6 Torx Schrauben
Zwei 4 mm T6 Schrauben

Schritt 18

Es ist nicht zwingend nötig den Akku zu entfernen, bevor du das Logic Board heraushebst. Es ist aber sicherer und einfacher. Wenn du den Akku drinnen lässt, achte sehr darauf, dass du das Logic Board nicht am Akku in der Nähe des Strichcodes verbiegst.
Entferne folgende TriPoint Schrauben, die den Akku am oberen Gehäuse befestigen:
Eine 5,5 mm TriPoint Schraube
Eine 13,5 mm TriPoint Schraube
Hebe den Akku aus dem Gehäuse.

Schritt 19

Hebe das Logic Board am linken Rand hoch, bis die Ports aus der Seite des oberen Gehäuses frei werden.
Ziehe das Logic Board von der Seite des Gehäuses weg, achte dabei darauf, dass sich die DC-in Platine nicht verfängt.

Be careful while taking the board out, as the heatsink usually is caught by the optic drive.

Leo Nikitin -

mid 2012: Careful of the left speaker (on your right because unit is upside down). Gently remove with spudger tool before removing logic board and when reinstalling press firmly back into place with spudger. Install speaker after putting logic board in place but before installing screws.

JASON CULP - 13/03/21

Step 18 is out of order. Steps following this show it still installed, which is confusing.
