    • Unscrew the two screws on each hinge using a PH1 Phillips screwdriver.

    • To easily remove the hinges, raise the them by hand as if you were opening the screen in order to remove the them from the upper case.

    • Use a hair dryer, heat gun or iOpener to soften the adhesive that attaches the Trackpad to the upper case.

    • Press on the trackpad to unstick it and separate it from the case.

    • Too much head risks melting the micro-welds on the Trackpad, so be cautious with the use of a heat gun.

    • Be careful not to damage the Trackpad when taking it off. Although it is a relatively solid part, the glue is present on a large part of its surface and is strongly adhered. You can see the adhesive strip on a new part.

Abschluss

Congratulations! You have completed the disassembly!

To reassemble your device, follow the instructions in reverse, using the new keyboard assembly instead of the old one.
