Use this guide to replace the MagSafe port in your MacBook Pro 14" 2023.

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your MacBook. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.

    • Completely power off and unplug your MacBook Pro before you start. Close the display and flip the entire laptop upside-down.

    • Use a P5 Pentalobe driver to remove eight screws securing the lower case:

    • Four 9.3 mm screws

    • Four 5 mm screws

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your device.

    • Press a suction handle into place near the front edge of the lower case, between the screw holes.

    • Pull up on the suction handle to create a small gap under the lower case.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap you just created.

    • Slide the opening pick around the nearest corner and then halfway up the side of the MacBook Pro.

    • This releases the first of the hidden clips securing the lower case. You should feel and hear the clip pop free.

    • Pull firmly to slide the lower case towards the front edge of the MacBook (away from the hinge area) to separate the last of the clips securing the lower case.

    • Pull first at one corner, then the other.

    • Pull to the side—not up.

    • This may require a lot of force.

    • Remove the lower case.

    • To reinstall the lower case:

    • Set it in place and align the sliding clips near the display hinge. Press down and slide the cover toward the hinge. It should stop sliding as the clips engage.

    • When the sliding clips are fully engaged and the lower case looks correctly aligned, press down firmly on the lower case to engage the four hidden clips underneath. You should feel and hear them snap into place.

  10. tWijJMdBI6gPL6ac
    • Use a T3 Torx driver to remove the two 2.1 mm‑long screws securing the trackpad cable bracket to the logic board.

    Sorry but this is not correct Apple procedure.

    There is power running through the device still whilst you are unscrewing this plate/bracket and disconnecting the trackpad if you do it this way. This is why Apple put the small flex cable next to this, free to reach before touching anything else.

    You must disconnect the battery flex cable next to the trackpad connector before you touch anything else.

    Thanks

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the trackpad cable's press connector secured to the logic board.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Don't press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

    • Use a spudger to lift the battery power connector, disconnecting the battery.

    • Lift the connector high enough to keep it separated from its socket while you work. If it accidentally makes contact, it could damage your MacBook Pro.

    I would place a piece of card stock (business card) taped to the battery cells so the contact can’t be made.

    • Repeat for the two other cables.

    • During reassembly, these can be tricky to reconnect. Hold each connector in place over its socket and press down with the flat end of a spudger. The connector should snap into place.

    • When reinstalling the logic board, insert the left side first to reposition the HMDI and SDXC ports.

    • Use your fingers to slightly compress the HDMI port to fit it into its recess, otherwise the logic board won't sit correctly.

    • Make sure all of the connectors are above the logic board before securing it back onto the fame.

    • If you're having trouble positioning the connectors, use tape to keep them out of the way.

    • Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the two 2.6 mm screws securing the MagSafe port.

    • Use a T3 Torx driver to loosen the two 3.7 mm screws enough to unfasten the MagSafe port.

    I'm currently on a A2442 M1 14" MacBook Pro, and I can assure you that these screws are NOT Torx3. This is more like Torx2 (same diamter as Pentalobe P2, but with one more branch...).

    How did you manage to remove these with T3 ? My T3 PB Swiss Tools do not fit at all...

    Mipam -

    Hi Mipam.

    We were able to remove loosen the screws with a Torx T3 driver, although it's possible to use a Torx T2 to achieve the same result. We defer to the largest size possible to avoid any screw stripping.

    Sincerely,

    Alex

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.

Repair didn’t go as planned? Try some basic troubleshooting, or ask our MacBook Pro 14" 2023 Answers community for help.
