MacBook Neo Screen Removal

Use the flat end of a spudger to gently push under the metal buckle of the display cable connector, located on the top‑right corner of the logic board, to unclip it.

Grab the buckle and cable together and gently pull the connector straight out of its socket.

Repeat this procedure to disconnect the camera cable, located on the left edge of the logic board.

Grip the cable and buckle together and insert the connector fully into its socket. Realign it as necessary and don't try to force it into the socket.

Flip the buckle over the socket and use a spudger to press the buckle down until it clicks into place.

Pick up the buckle and cable together and gently pull it out of its channel securing it to the frame.

Free the cable so it's not wrapped around the corner of the laptop frame.

Hold the display cable's buckle and cable together and free it from the laptop frame.

Use a Torx Plus 8IP screwdriver to loosen (not remove) all four hinge screws.

Install the hinge screws without tightening them, then close the lid.

Adjust the screen until it is correctly centered and aligned on each side. The screen should sit flush with the rest of the laptop. Finally, tighten the screws.

Open the laptop all the way and gently place it keyboard side down on a table, so the screen hangs over the edge.

Support the screen with one hand and use your free hand to remove the four 6.2 mm–long Torx Plus 8IP screws securing the hinges.

Hold the screen with both hands and lift the hinges out of their recesses to remove it.
