    • Entferne die folgenden 10 Schrauben, die das Gehäuseunterteil mit dem Deckel verbinden:

    • Drei 13.5 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben

    • Sieben 3 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben

    important to reassemble the "lower case" successfully: the threads of the seven 3mm phillips screws are drilled at an angle :-/

    mysterioes -

    Same issue with me. After reassembling my 13-inch and my 17-inch, one of the screws are sticking out ever so slightly. Very annoying, especially since I scratch whatever surface I'm on now.

    Kyle Spadaro -

    Very important note; this guide is NOT correct for the Macbook Pro 17" A1297 late '11.

    The A1297 has an assembly adjacent to the optical drive, identifiable by 4 antenna connectors, 1 usb cable (with very small connector) and one PCI-e flat cable running across the optical drive.

    I did not take pictures, but found one on the web. I'm very new to iFixit and have no idea yet on how to create a guide, but here's the picture showing the assembly on top (this pic only has 3 antenna wires, the A1297 has 4, but at least you'll know what to look for.

    - carefully undo all connections and 2 screws

    - remove the assembly and flip it over

    - again carefully remove the shielding tape

    - undo 3 tiny screws

    - gently pry the airport card from the assembly (the flat cable will be a bit of a pain)

    - reverse process with replacement card.

    It helps if you mark the holes where the long screws go so you can easily find them when the time comes to button things up. Also, a little dish or custard cup to hold those tiny screws is essential.

    Human -

    3 x 13.5 mm screws are actually TWO different types! Return to EXACT SAME HOLES.

    -I discovered this on my mid-2010, but from comments, sounds like it may affect other models as well

    2 x 13.5 mm screws are pointed ends

    1 x 13.5 mm screw is a FLAT end <- CORNER HOLE

    These areTWO slightly different lengths, and must return to correct holes. If you put the flat end screw in the wrong hole, it will stick out slightly. If you put either of the pointed screws in the wrong hole, they will go in all the way, but will not catch threads, and will simply fall out when laptop is flipped back over.

    scottbernardis -

    I printed out the image above and taped each screw to the photo as I removed each one, just to make sure I put them in the right location.

    Grace Morris -

    This is a brilliant suggestion! I did this for all the steps that involved removing screws, numbered the sheets, and that made it very easy to put it all back together in reverse. Thanks!

    Steve Adamczyk -

    Be sure to use Loctite on the screws when re-attaching the bottom of the computer. The screws can and will fall out once they have been removed for repairs if you do not put Loctite on them when you reuse them. Otherwise, purchase new screws before repairing the computer as the new screws come with Loctite material on them. (I have personal experience with this problem.)

    Be sure NOT to Buy this Battery from iFixit. I bought it from eustore.ifixit.com and the Condition of Battery is : Service Battery ,

    from the &&^&^$^ first day.

    Till today my battery Cycle Count is: 80.

    I’ve tried everything as: Battery Calibration, resetting the SMC, PRAM, reinstalling the battery,

    and Service Battery warning still there.

    Just DO NOT BUY crappy, trash from here.

    I have very bad experience.

    Doruntin Koci -

    Hi Doruntin,

    we’re more than sorry to hear about your bad experience.

    I’ll inform our customer service team who’ll reach out to you and offer either a replacement or reimbursement.

    If ever you’d need assistance again, please feel free to directly write to eustore@ifixit.com, as comments are not regularly checked for service issues.

    I’m confident that we’ll find the solution that suits you best!

    PLEASE OBSERVE: The image of the left speaker used is NOT for a 2011 model. A 17inch MacBook Pro A1297 - LEFT SPEAKER + MICROPHONE - 2011 has IDENTIFYING NUMBER: Apple Part #:922-9821, 922-9822. And its COMPATIBILITY: 17 inch MacBook Pro Unibody A1297 - Early 2011 MC725LL/A 2.2 i7 - Early 2011 MC725LL/A 2.3 i7 - Late 2011 MD311LL/A 2.4 i7 - Late 2011 MD311LL/A 2.5 i7

    • Zwänge deine Finger zwischen das Gehäuseunterteil und die Lüftungsschlitze und ziehe das Unterteil nach oben, um die Clips zu lösen, mit denen das Gehäuseunterteil am Deckel befestigt ist.

    • Richte beim Zusammenbau das Gehäuseunterteil sorgfältig aus und drücke es fest, bis beide Clips einrasten.

    • Entferne das Gehäuseunterteil.

    I recommend using anti-static protection, i.e., wearing a ground strap, or at least touch metal chassis inside the computer before unplugging cables. Otherwise, you might create an ESD discharge into your RAM and have to replace it like I did!

    • Wenn du in der Nähe des Logic Board arbeitest, ist es immer ratsam, den Stromanschluss der Batterie zu trennen, um Kurzschlüsse zu vermeiden.

    • Falls vorhanden, ziehe die kleine Plastiklasche am Batteriestecker gegen die Vorderkante des Geräts. Bei Modellen von Ende 2011 hat der Stecker keine Lasche und ist einfach direkt im Motherboard eingesteckt. In diesem Fall ziehe den Stecker gerade nach oben, um ihn zu entfernen.

    • Falls die Plastiklasche fehlt, benütze einen Spudger, um den Stecker von seinem Sockel zu lösen.

    • Ziehe die Plastiklasche parallel zur Oberfläche des Logic Boards.

    This step is a little difficult in reverse, that is, when re-attaching the battery. It helps to tilt the laptop up so you can see the edge of the board that accepts the plug. It may look like there are two slots for it, it goes in the bigger slot that is further away from the board.

    yary hluchan -

    Is this step really necessary? It is not part of the instructions how to replace the HDD in Apple's User Manual of the 2011 17" MBP.

    Tobias Hahn -

    As it says in the step: "Whenever working near the logic board, it is always wise to first disconnect the battery to avoid short circuits." It is not required, but it is simple insurance to avoid a $1000+ repair should you accidentally short components on the board with something metal.

    Andrew Bookholt -

    There was no tab on my model. Battery is affixed to board and screws must be removed.

    bhodges2 -

    Mine also, and looks as if removing connector could damage motherboard.

    Stephen -

    The battery on my 17” mid-2010 (MC024LL/A -A1297 ) is held by 3 specialty screws CR-V1 (3-wings similar to Mercedes-Benz tri-star)

    It has a tab which I pulled straight up

    The connector to the motherboard came away easily by pulling toward the front edge.

    Peter Grierson -

    * There is no tab on the A1297 (late 2011) model's battery connector. Be careful with the connector, it chips off the edges easily! Otherwise the same as bhodges2 & Stephen's notes.

    ** (Pleas also include the exact Model and Part numbers like P/N: MD311D/A; Mod.: A1297 in the comments and notes for your MBP)

    Pingumann -

    Why are there no guides for the Late 2011 17" MacBook Pro A1297 (2.4GHz i7 quad core, MD311LL/A)??? I just replaced the RAM in mine and discovered that not only is there no tab on the battery connector, but the connector pulls straight up, perpendicular to the logic board, rather than parallel. I almost ripped the wires out of the connector by trying to pull it out parallel to the logic board like this guide instructed! After finally getting it out, my advice to those with the Late 2011 model is to use a spudger to loosen the edges of the connector then lift the connector straight up to get it out safely.

    Dave -

    I replaced the display on my late 2011 model and noticed that it was quite different than the tutorial given here so I detailed all the differences to help others with late-2011 models on my blog: http://johnfixesstuff.blogspot.com/2014/...

    jmueller -

    I just put an SSD in a model #A1297 - MC226LL/A and the battery connector had to be removed by pulling it parallel to and away from the logic board — in other words, not up. I was definitely a bit confused when I tried to pull it up.

    Doug Hogg -

    With some dexterity and carefulness, the MagSafe could be removed from its place without the need to remove the whole logic board!

    Phil Boy -

    Same here, I used a head-band light to see it and got it done without removing anything but the battery connection, the charging port and the display data cable. Then I had to do it again because amazone sent me the wrong charging port, the board has different width between screw holes, and on closer look, different components soldered on, also. AND, one is labeled 2008, the other 2009… make sure you get the correct one, the other ( “wrong”? ) might work, but I’m not risking it! So why does the 2008 fit in my 17” macbook pro(5,2) mid-2009 and the one labeled 2009 does not fit ? It is what it is…

    Tom Seaman -

    The battery on my 17” mid-2010 (MC024LL/A -A1297 ) is held by 3 specialty screws CR-V1 (3-wings similar to  Mercedes-Benz tri-star)

    It has a tab which I pulled straight up

    The connector to the motherboard came away easily by pulling toward the front edge.

    • Hebe den Stecker des rechten Lüfters mit dem flachen Ende eines Spudgers aus seinem Anschluss auf dem Logic Board heraus.

    • Der Stecker lässt sich leichter lösen, wenn du den Spudger der Länge nach unter den Lüfterkabeln verdrehst.

    • Im zweiten und dritten Bild sind der Stecker und der Anschluss des Lüfters zu sehen. Brich nicht den Plastikanschluss des Lüfters aus dem Logic Board heraus, wenn du den Stecker gerade nach oben heraushebst. Dein Logic Board kann unter Umständen etwas anders als im zweiten Bild aussehen, der Lüfteranschluss ist aber gleich.

    Needs a better photo to show how the plug is able to come off the socket vertically. In particular, the underside of the plug should be shown.

    • Entferne die drei 3,1 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben, mit denen der rechte Lüfter am Logic Board befestigt ist.

    • Im MacBook Pro 17" Unibody Ende 2011 sind dies Torx T6 Schrauben.

    The fan fixing screws on my 17-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro were Torx 6, not Philips 00.

    Michael -

    ... And the fan fixing screws on my 2009 MBP were *smaller* that the size implied by the tool requirements for this project. I initially tried a Phillips 00 screwdriver but it nearly stripped the screw head. It was necessary to switch to a Phillips 000 bit to actually get two of the screws to move.

    RichardL -

    my mid 2010 mbp had Torx 7

    nielsdolieslager -

    Mine stripped and now I can't get it out, Phillips #00 is too large

    Fernando Tejeda -

    Not a big deal maybe but I have an Early 2011 and it doesn’t have the plastic tab on the battery connector (as if it were a Late 2011) AND it uses torx screws. So if you’re planning to tear into a 2011, get a torx screwdriver—there’s a chance you might need it even if you don’t have a Late 2011

    • Der Steckers lässt sich leichter lösen, wenn du den Spudger der Länge nach unter den Lüfterkabeln verdrehst.

    On my 2011 MBP, the wiring is twisted a half turn. Its not possible to insert the connector the wrong way around, but it just seems sloppy that it was designed to require stressing the wire this way.

    • Achte darauf, dass du nur am Sicherungsbügel hebelst, nicht am Anschluss selbst.

    • Ziehe das Flachbandkabel der Tastaturbeleuchtung aus seinem Anschluss heraus.

    “Pull” ??? Don’t you mean to say “slide horizontally towards the gap where the fan was?”

    anon -

    On my early 2011 Macbook Pro unibody 17” - there is another small cable to disconnect between this, the keyboard backlight ribbon cable and the optical drive cable. Not sure what it’s for, but thought to mention is. It is small metal plug and socket and says “AC” on it.

    Cyrus Buckley -

    I managed to pull the tiny retaining flap off of the socket entirely, then lost it… Not to worry, the ribbon cable sits securely in the socket even without the flap, and the keyboard backlight functions perfectly after reassembling the laptop

    D K -

    slide/wiggle gently parallel to the board - mine was sticky

    • Bevor du das Kamerakabel ablösen kannst, musst du erst eine kleine Kunstoffhalterung, die am Logic Board festgeklebt ist, aus dem Weg schieben.

    • Drücke die kleine Kunstoffkabelhalterung mit der Spudgerspitze vom Anschluss des Kamerakabels weg, so dass genug Platz zum Ausbau des Kamerakabels entsteht.

    exactly HOW do you remove it? pull up? slide horizontally?

    anon -

    On my late (?) 2011 MBP, this connector is very tiny, and the cable covers the screw holding the optical drive.

    The connector has two tiny metal tabs. Use your fingernails to slide it backwards horizontally towards the optical drive.

    anon -

    Bit of a levering horizontally. Remove the carbon fibre patterned tape off the top of the connector to expose the connector then slide (break the adhesive bond) on the small oblong black plastic passed, towards the optical drive module. The connector can then be disengaged. It's quite difficult to unlatch the connector! Take extreme care

    Paul Buckingham -

    not on my 17” late 2011

    kenneth krabat -

    On my late 2011 MBP there are two connectors at this place: One big connector like the silver one shown on the fotos (but in my case it is black), and the tiny one as discribed in the comment from anon 10/14/2017). In contrast to the fotos, this tiny connector is on the opposite side of the big one, on the edge close to the right fan. To disconnect this connector, follow the instructions from anon 10/14/2017.

    The cable going to the big connector is in my case a wide black ribbon cable running diagonically over the optical drive. To remove the connector of this cable from the socket, pry it upwards carefully with your fingernails or a spudger.

    • Ziehe das Kamerakabel zur Öffnung des optischen Laufwerks hin und trenne es vom Logic Board ab.

    • Der Anschluss des Kamerakabels ist sehr empfindlich. Ziehe an diesem Anschluss niemals nach oben, er kann aus dem Logic Board herausbrechen. Ziehe das Kamerakabel parallel zur Oberfläche des Logic Boards.

    This step and the previous one (plastic retainer) were very different on my logic board. It's an early 2011, 17" that I bought second hand. I'm wondering if the logic board was previously replaced.

    • Achte darauf, dass du nur am Sicherungsbügel hebelst, nicht am Anschluss.

    • Ziehe das Infrarotsensor-Flachbandkabel aus seinem Anschluss heraus.

    The IR sensor cable also connects the Hall Effect switch that detects whether the lid is closed or open (and thus shuts off the display, puts the computer to sleep, wakes it up, etc.) to the logic board.

    How do I know? I re-pasted my late 2011 17" MBP and forgot to reconnect it. The machine would not sleep automatically when the lid was closed anymore. Re-connecting the cable fixed it.

    Kevin -

    thanks for the info !!!! i got the same problem with sleep because the cable was not properly connected

    Thanks for the great guide!

    Tip for re-seating the keyboard cable: put a piece of sticky tape on, fold over at the top end, re-seat the connector (carefully!) with a spudger and (gently!) pull the tape 'over' the connector on the logic board until you feel it nudges in fully. Notice the emphasis on "carefully" and "gently"... :)

    LeonSteyns -

    Thanks for this manual! I used it to replace the keyboard. I would not recommend it as an easy job and it is not described on Ifixit for unknown reasons. But I did it and everytinhg worked fine. 2 remarks about the conncetion for the keyboard. In my Macbook 17 Pro (mid 2009) there is a litlle lever that clamps the keyboard 'cable'. You can get it out easily (I did that too because I did not see it then), but to reassemble it it is better to uplift the little lever and then move the 'cable' in with sticky tape (thanks for that tip!)

    I had to redo it 3 times to get it working. With the lever up and then clamping the 'cable' by pushing it down it worked AND it solved the power button problem. Please be carefull as said in the manual, it is all very delicate!

    And for replacing the keyboard; prepare yourself for a lot of tiny screws! (some of them are stuck and had to be removed with force, be warned!)

    Another tip

    Be SUPER EXTRA CAREFUL when connecting this cable back!!! Use a magnifying glass or headset to see what you are doing.

    When I plugged it in the first time (finished the rest of the process and restarted the mac) I got green lines all over my screen…

    I replugged it a total of 4 times to get it right even cleaned it with alcohol. Now everything is working, but I freaked out a bit :)

    Tom -

    I would describe the removal as “sliding back towards the corner". “Pulling out", to me, implies pulling up away from the board.

    MaFt Morley -

    When reassembling, slide the cable underneath the connector. It doesn’t snap on.

    Phil Melendez -

    This is the trickiest step in this whole process, both detaching and reattaching. I’ve been through this logic board repair scenario with my Early 2011 about 4x now, and if, when you reassemble, you’re still having problems with your display of any sort, this is your number 1 achilles heel is this connector getting dirty (use high purity over 90% isopropyl alcohol often found at drug stores next to the regular 70% stuff for cleaning) or not seating properly. I have broken off the connector bracket mount that goes over the top but was able to use pure silicone to safely reattach it. Don’t break that top bracket off sliding this puppy out; it’s a very dicey situation!

    Segue -

    I had no idea what "toward the DC-in side" meant. "DC-in" refers to the Magsafe connector/port in the corner of the machine (upper right when the machine is facedown with lower case removed).

    The plastic flap and its little metal bracket broke off from the cable when I tried to rotate it out of the socket. Will this cause problems? I'm assuming it was just a handle. I was successfully able to slide the cable out, and then back into the socket on reassembly, even after the bracket/tab broke off.

    • Entferne folgende acht Schrauben, mit denen das Logic Board und die Versorgungsplatine (DC-In Board) am oberen Gehäuse befestigt sind:

    • Sechs 3,2 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben

    • Am Modell von Anfang 2011 können dies auch Torx T6 Schrauben sein.

    • Zwei 7,6 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben

    The Six 3.2mm screws can in some cases be torx instead of phillips

    Finntastic -

    I've got a great idea for keeping the tiny screws safe and also labelled up e.g. these 6+2 screws belong to the logic board - simply use 'Post-It' sticky note upside down on your desk and use the sticky bit to keep the screws from rolling around getting themselves lost :-)

    • Fasse die Logic Board-Einheit nur an den Kanten an.

    • Hebe die Logic Board-Einheit an der Seite nahe am optischen Laufwerk an und hebe sie vom oberen Gehäuse weg.

    • Achte darauf, dass du das Logic Board und die Versorgungsplatine (DC-In Board) gleichzeitig entfernst.

    • Ziehe die Anschlüsse und die Versorgungsplatine (DC-In Board) von der Seite des oberen Gehäuses weg und entferne die Logic Board Einheit, achte dabei darauf, dass sich keine Kabel verfangen.

    When lifting the logic board be careful! The rubber foam around the microphone may have adhered the microphone to the uppercases grill work so as you lift you could rip the connector from the ribbon cable.

    * Take a small spatula and thought the fan opening carefully dislodge the microphone from the grill as you lift the logic board.

    * To locate the microphone note on the next slide the small unit between the fingers of the hands.

    Dan -

    You need to remove the Phillips screws near the optical drive. I don’t see that in the instructions anywhere.

    Attach the DC connector with screws first when reassembling.

    My heat sink did not look like this. It did not have the ninety degree bend to the left at the bottom. It was just "T" shaped, not like the "J" shape depicted here. Does this mean the logic board was previously replaced? (Early 2011, 17-inch, 2.2GHz)

    • Es kann sein, dass im Modell von Anfang 2011 kein Stecker am Wärmesensorkabel verbaut ist.

    My mid-2009 MBP didn’t have a connector (socket is on the board, but there’s no cable to be plugged into it). Found in an Apple technician manual a mention that some versions of the MBP don’t have the thermal sensor, so apparently that’s okay.

    • Entferne den Kühlkörper vom Logic Board.

    • Wenn der Kühlkörper nach dem Entfernen der acht Schrauben scheinbar am Logic Board festgeklebt, dann kannst du die beiden Bauteile mit einem Spudger voneinander trennen.

    • Wenn du den Kühlkörper wieder am Logic Board befestigen willst, dann hilft dir unsere Anleitung für Wärmeleitpaste bei der Montage.

    Bonjour. Peut-on remplacer la pâte thermique d’origine par des pads thermiques au graphite? Merci

    • Ziehe den Stecker der Versorgungsplatine (DC-In Board) aus seinem Anschluss auf dem Logic Board heraus.

    • Ziehe die Kabel parallel zur Oberfläche des Logic Boards zum Kühlkörper hin.

    • Hebe die linke Lautsprechereinheit etwas vom Logic Board weg.

    • Hebe die Stecker vom linken Lautsprecher und vom Mikrofon mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers aus ihren Anschlüssen auf dem Logic Board heraus.

    Mind the microphone doesn’t come out of its hole when you reassemble.

    • Drücke die Rasten auf jeder Seite des RAM-Riegels gleichzeitig nach außen, so dass sie sich lösen.

    • Diese Rasten halten den RAM-Riegel fest, wenn sie gelöst sind, wird der Riegel hochklappen.

    • Wenn der Riegel aufgeklappt ist, kannst du ihn gerade aus dem Sockel herauszuziehen.

    • Wiederhole das Ganze, wenn ein zweiter Riegel eingebaut ist.

    • Das Logic Board bleibt übrig.

    Why would you not remove the RAM as the very first thing upon removing the back plate ???

This is a good guide if you are wanting to remove your trackpad on the A1297 mid-2010 model. There aren't many guides to do this, so this is a simple route to follow.

Nice, thank you Andrew Bookholt

Do you know the fix por ethernet in Mac 2011 A1432?

ccsg259 -

Good question! We’ve had good quality Ethernet cables easily slip out of the jacks on several of our MacBook Pros (and TiBook) over the years.

hi Andrew... My macbook pro retina.. When starting up, the progress bar gors slow, then macbook suddenly shuts down.. But before that, there is a grain/noise of rainbow colors across the hole screen showing up.. .. Do you regocnize the problem and what can it be, the graphic / logic card?

Thank you.

This seems to be the known gpu problem with AMD Radeon 6770 chip. They lose the soldering connection because of the heat the gpu produces, the solder nearly melts and when cooling down it gets hard again and this torture brings the solder to break at any point. There has been a big replacement program by apple this ended 31.12.206 I think. The only chance of reactivating is disabling the Radeon. There is a software hack for this. But it would be better to go further and do the hardware modification too, because with an nvram reset or some os update the software hack is away and you have to do all the steps again. Google for Tiresias GPUkiller, that seems to be a stable solution.

How do you remove the keyboard?

anon -

There is no easy way to remove any part of the Keyboard!!

Michael Kamieniarz -

The steps for the removal of the logic board represents the major steps before getting access to removing the keyboard on the 17 inch..There exists a full 13 inch MacBook Pro description on keyboard removal. I suggest once you have the 17 inch logic board out you could study the 13 inch description to figure out keyboard removal.

Gunnar Forsgren -

very clear and easy to follow. Thanks
