简介
使用本指南来更换2017后期带Touch Bar的13寸MacBook Pro 显示屏组件。
在开始此过程之前,你可能需要与苹果确认是否符合免费维修的条件。如果显示器的背光灯停止工作,或者显示器在屏幕的整个底部显示垂直明亮的区域(也称为“舞台灯”),则MacBook Pro可能符合苹果的显示背光服务程序。
``为了安全起见,请在维修之前将MacBook Pro的电池电量消耗低于25%。''
你所需要的
-
-
开机,并打开终端。
-
将以下命令复制粘贴到(或完全键入)终端窗口中:
-
sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00
-
按[回车]。如果出现钥匙提示,请输入管理员密码(开机密码)并再次按[回车]。注意:您的回车键也可能标有「⏎」或 return。
-
sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03
-
-
-
在你进行下一步之前,先关了电源拔了插销。
-
用P5五角改锥来拆掉固定底壳的这六颗螺丝:
-
两颗6.2mm螺丝
-
两颗5.3mm螺丝
-
两颗3.4mm螺丝
-
在整个维修过程中,请跟踪每个螺丝并确保它准确地回到原来的位置,以免损坏你的设备。
Before any repair is carried out that involves removing the bottom case, the machines auto-boot function has be disabled. This can be disabled via the terminal command “sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00” once the repair has been completed the auto-boot function can be re-enabled via the vermin command “sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03”.
I recommend that you have an organizer tray for all the small parts, and label it in advance with the numbered “step” associated with each removal of screws and other parts. It really helped me when I needed to put everything back in reverse order, after the new battery is glued in place.
Finished the repair last week. Some key comments that helped me:
- Step 12, Robert
- Step 13, MikeG1
- Step 13, Rick Jaffe (take a photo when disassembling)
Also added some own comments on Steps 15, 18, 22

-
在MacBook Pro底壳的前部中心位置嘬一个带把手的吸盘。
-
抬起吸盘,在底壳和机身之间制造一道缝隙。
To replace the bottom just line it up just like it came from the factory. Make sure it clears the display connectors. And press firmly down until the clips connect to the bottom again.
-
-
-
再把你的撬片插进底壳的前部边缘,靠近最中间的两个螺丝口其中之一的地方。
-
用力扭动撬片,来打开固定底壳的第三个卡扣。
-
在另一个最中间的螺丝口处重复上述步骤,打开第四个卡扣。
My 3rd and 4th clips released simultaneously with clip 1 and 2.
Therefore I was looking to do something which had already been accomplished.
yeah be sure not to bend those clips by the display bottom. You pull towards yourself to get it off
-
-
-
用力将底壳向MacBook的前端方向(与合叶相反的方向)拉,以此来分离最后的固定底壳的卡扣。
-
这可能需要用点儿力。
Difficult to explain clearly, but worked easily for me by gripping the adjacent bottom and top corners then pulling in opposite directions, rather than trying to grip the hinge corner which is too narrow to afford a strong grip.
This helped me. It needed more force than what I expected. Basically grab the corner with 6.2mm screw with one hand and the cover of that same corner with the other. Then pull the cover and push the laptop. Careful, it pops off with force!
I initially tried shifting the whole panel off the front after using the separating tool to make some space at the back where the hinges are. I only had luck when I pushed the panel back to it’s normal state and using the separating tool again to open the front, then getting my fingers underneath the slide it off the front was easy. I guess the lesson is to not use the separating tool to “push from the back“.

This step really through me through a loop. My last two MBP were a 2011 and 2013 and on those the bottom just lifted off when you removed the screws. The clips and this sliding lock design added in the 2017 model was frustrating the first time. I was following a youtube video first and he did not explain the sliding part at all. I should have come here first, this guide explains it pretty well. The second time I opened my 2017, I kept an “opening pick” between the bottom panel and the body on each side, and used my two smallest screwdrivers as levers in both “front” corner screw holes. Used the same method without the picks to put it back together at the end. Wayyy easier that trying to grip the panel or laptop body. Just make sure the screwdrivers/pins that you’re using as levers are small enough to be loose in the screw holes and have room to move
I used a pick underneath one of the back corners and nudge it (push down and towards the front - to get it off the hinge). This will make it easier to do the same for the other corner. The lower case will move off the middle plastic L-clips (which you will see after you inspect it.) Cheers! =)
I have found that your iFixit blue pry tool is excellent at giving me leverage to slide the bottom case forward to release it from the internal clips.

摘除底壳。
I used the green prying tool in the air gap at the rear to nudge the bottom forward.
That is far easier and more reliable.
David. I agree. I've found the blue iFixit prying tool most helpful. I place it with the curve of the tool around the hinge and move the bottom case towards the front to release it from the slide-in clips. I consider myself to have pretty good grip strength but I have had some bottom cases that just wouldn't budge until I used this method. Scott The Mac Doctor
Like Dave and "themacdoctor" said, this job is MUCH easier if you use a spudger or similar tool to gently push the cover away from the air gap, at the rear of the laptop. Once you do this, you've loosened clips that are on the inside of the bottom case. This is much easier than tugging on the case itself.

once the tape's back in place, it doesn't look tightly attached. not sure, did I do something wrong here or it should be so.
The tape will likely not adhere as well as when it came out of the factory. This isnt an issue! As long as the tape is in place when the lower cover is put back on the device you should be good to go.
The underside of the tape is not uniform. Therefore, pay attention to which direction it is placed by looking at the underside when you remove it. Possibly mark one edge so that you can replace in the same direction during reassembly.
Rick Jaffe - 回复
Mark one of the tape’s edges and, upon removal, stick it down with the same orientation. The first time I was inside the MacBook Pro (to upgrade the SSD) I failed to do this, and spent almost 30 minutes trying to get it back like it had been. Making a photo also helps.

The little tab that you pull back on, at least in my cable, was simple glued onto the rest of the cable. I tried to carefully remove the cable, and the tab came off. I did not have flat tweezers in the ifixit replacement kit and did not want to pinch the cable with sharp instruments. Therefore, be extremely careful when removing the tab as it is difficult to reattach the cable without it.

如果你要更换电池,则可能需要完全移除此电缆并将其转移到新电池上。断开两端并小心地取下电缆。在安装过程中,注意不要倒置或反向安装——注意照片中的方向。
The new battery I received did not come with the battery board data cable, so I had to remove the existing one and transfer it. The lock at the smaller end is the same mechanism as the one at the end shown in steps 11 and 12, but smaller (and harder to see. It helps to gently straighten the left end of the cable before trying to insert it in the end of the replacement circuit board.
I can corroborate MikeG1’s comment. My battery came without the long data cable as well. I had to remove it from the fried battery. Plastic lock tab mechanism on the ZIF connector is smaller. My inspection microscope helped to transfer the cable to the new battery board. Thanks Mike!
Likewise - the new battery came without a data cable. The cable was successfully removed from the old battery assembly and installed on the new battery, but it was tricky and nerve-racking (the cable is delicate and the connectors are very small) without instruction provided! The instructions should be updated to highlight the missing cable possibility, and provide information/illustration on transferring the cable.
In step 13, notice the amount of the data cable that sticks out of the connector. When moving this cable to the new battery, it is difficult to tell how far to push the cable into the connector or when it is fully inserted because the cable is so bendable.
Rick Jaffe - 回复
AMEN!! This was the hardest part of the ENTIRE process! Hard to know when the small end of the cable was “fully” inserted. Cable is SOOOOO delicate!
my old battery was working but could not hold a charge very long so I replaced the battery and now my mac does not recognize the new battery. Thought it was a bad battery at first but I purchased a new batter and still the same problem, My mac will work off power outlet but does not register it has a battery at all now. I tried putting my old battery back on but i damaged the very small clip when i slid out the flex cable so its gone now. Could this cable be at fault? I don/t know what else it could be, i only messed with the battery.
I have this same problem! Did you figure out what the issue was? Do I need a new flex cable?
I am having the same issue as Leo. After install. Is there a way to identify the fault?
Although the rest of fixit manual on this is excellent, this step is woefully lacking and the fact that the replace “kit” doesn’t have the Battery Board Data cable included makes the replacement kit significantly lacking (especially compared to other kits and instructions I’ve used before from them)

用一把T5 内梅花头改锥拆掉这个固定电池接头的3.7mm“薄煎饼”螺丝。
When the battery management “BMS” circuit board is re-installed, loosely install the two 3.7 mm screws, put a spudger on the left side of the BMS board to wedge theBMS board to the right then tighten the two 3.7 mm screws. The reason for doing this is that the two power traces on the board may not make physical contact with the battery connector (connector at where the spudger is on step 15). One clue that you didn’t have physical contact is if you reinstalled everything but there is no power unless the AC supply is plugged in (with battery meter on the top at 0%). This was what happened to me. The reason is that when you bend the battery connector in step 15, it’s no longer in alignment with the traces on the BMS board and hence, you have to shift the BMS board to the right to compensate. Once I did this, voila 64% power.

On disassembly note the position of the connector before you lift. It has two gold-plated connections on the underside. On reassembly these need to make contact with the matching battery board connectors. Bending the connector out of the way deformed it a bit, and on reassembly I could see that the connectors didn't align well with the board's connectors. I needed to adjust the battery board position to the left a bit by loosening the 3.1 mm screws in step 23. Possibly this could be the reason why some people report that new battery is not detected.

Be careful tightening these screw. Overtightening will shear the heads off of them.
When reinstalling the plastic hinge covers, be sure to slide the bottom portion UNDER the rim of the unibody. If not when you go to reattach the bottom, it will not fully mate to the body.

It actually clicks on and off—I did not pay attention when installing the new monitor and when I went to start the computer the screen did not have power but the bottom half came on (the hard drive fan went brrrr) this connector was down—but I had not “clicked” it on. It can be installed such that it will stay on without the metal strip that goes across it. The metal strip seems to be just to ensure it *stays* on. You got this!

These are mirror images of each other! Beware! In the photo you’ll see that in reassembly the “extra” metal bit goes toward the front. If you look at the underside of them you’ll see two foam bits: one square one to go over the flat metal part, the rectangle over the cable. With the extra metal bit toward the front (away from you) be sure you have the correct cover on the correct side!
This step may be unnecessary if you’re replacing the display. Check on your new display if these are already installed. If they are, skip this step. So far as I can tell, the only reason you do this step is on the off chance your new display does not have these two covers, they don’t really do anything to help remove or install the new display.
Agreed with arichard2401. My replacement display came with both covers. Good idea to always be sure to inspect your replacement before beginning.

Un reassembly, DONT OVERLOOK the placement of the “Board Flex Cable” from step 19. Make sure you don’t leave it imprisoned under this assembly. It needs to be lying over all this assembly.
When reinstalling the antenna cable assembly, on the front side of it facing towards the trackpad, there is a flat silver piece of metal. It needs to go into a little track in the MacBook. If it doesn’t, things will seem normal until you go to close the lid, and you will get a click.

The screw drives of the P2 screws are extremely weak. Be careful when removing these screws and putting them back in.
Those 12 tiny screws are a frickin’ nightmare. They appear to be P1’s, not P2’s , as all I have are a P0.8 and a P1.2, and the 0.8 just strips the heads. I did manage to get one out, but that’s it so far. I’m think I’m going to have to use my Dremel to make a slot for a tiny flat bit to get them out… Grrrr…
i had a horrible time trying to get the 12 p2 screws out and i was ready to give up. i finally got them out when i applied really hard downward pressure onto my screwdriver. i really dug the end of my screwdriver into my palm. put some weight into it.
Oh man, be so so so so sure you aren’t stripping these tiny little screws. I got all of them out just fine with a P2, but one of them would just not come out and I ended up stripping it. Had to drill it out. Good news is that it will drill out really really easily with a 1/6 bit, just go really slow.
anyone else have little dabs of cement along the 12 lcd cable screws? seems like apple tried to prevent me from doing this when they made it lol. 1/6 “ DRILLING IT IS lol
Maybe I could just drill out the stuck ones and only replace the ones that aren’t super messed up? Is that a stupid idea?
Hi Grant! Yes, that's a valid option.

What is the function of this antenna cable assembly?
The antenna assembly contains the antenna lines for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Without the assembly, you'll have terrible Wi-Fi and Bluetooth reception.
During reassembly after I put on the antenna piece the hinge would make a loud snap after being closed from a greater than 90 degree angle. After some trial and error I found a metal piece in the center of the antenna assembly that had to be bent back to fit in a grove in the aluminum of the computer. Hope that helps if someone is having a similar issue.

During reassembly remember that the screen goes AWAY from you (as in the picture during removal). My cable was taped to the front of the display and had to be untaped and draped backwards over the bottom edge to get into proper position for attachment. Also, just in case this happens to you, too, the longitudinal rod that carries the springs and hinges was about 0.5mm too long to fit into the recesses. I had to file the rod down very slightly to get it to fit.

This guide sucks really bad.. missed steps. so unclear about everything. crappy pictures, I suggest you re do this whole thing.
Good guide for someone with experience. I would add a few extra steps with more details, including some additional warnings since having a beginner follow this guide could result in failure in repairing the device. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE PERFORM THIS REPAIR!
This worked perfectly and saved me a lot of money. Many thanks.
great tutorial but my webcam stopped working after i replaced the screen… any ideas? also what cable is the camera one?
The same thing happened to me, I used my warranty to get a screen replacement. The camera works fine for now. I'll see how long it holds up.
I am definitely an inexperienced at this stuff. Followed it to replace my sons display. Could not get Genius Bar appointment for a month trying. I found this guide to be perfect. Took me 4 slow patient hours because I knew I would have to reverse the steps when finished , however I finished and my son is so happy. Thank you , Tarun and. IFIXIT.
Whatever has been done to improve this review, I must say, it’s fantastic. Nothing was missed. Brilliant repair guide. Thanks!

I have never taken apart a laptop before and this guide made it a complete success!
My only bit of input is that I found many instances where the T4 tip worked better on screws that the guide called to use T3.
I replaced my broken screen using this guide. Guide is superb. Did not need to watch a video. This was the first time I ever opened a macbook pro.
On the criticism side: I agree with other commenters that steps 17 and 18 requires a T4 torx screwdriver, not T3 as stated in the guide. Additionally, step 29 requires a T8 torx screwdriver, which isn’t listed as a required tool. I happened to have a T8, but this repair could not be completed with the listed tools only.
Thanks again.
That's interesting. I was provided a T8 screw in my repair tool kit.
Nicely done and clear. One possible improvement:
Step 21 now says:
Remove the two 3.3 mm T5 Torx screws (one from each side) securing the antenna cable assembly.
Also remove the two 4.1 mm T5 Torx screws (one from each side).
It should say:
Remove the two 3.3 mm T5 Torx screws (one from each side) securing the antenna cable and display cable assemblies.
Also remove the two 4.1 mm T5 Torx screws (one from each side).
This is not an important change when you are REMOVING those screws, but it’s important when you are re-installing them, because it will encourage you to install the screws onto BOTH the antenna and display cable assemblies…
I'm with brentp — there was absolutely nothing wrong with this guide. I've also used it several times.
The guide made it easy the tiny screws made it tedious and the magnetic tools made it all possible.
GOAvendano - 回复
When removing the P2 tiny screws from the antenna assembly, make sure you press firmly and twist very slowly first, in order to avoid stripping your P2 driver, which can happen very easily. We've lost a couple to this already, and we use them to open iPhones too, so take care of them! Also if you break your P2 tip in the middle of this job and you have none other, you're literally SCREWED! hahaha :)
Great guide, and it covered everything in a simple and easy to understand way!
My only critique is that step 20, removing the display cover cables is unnecessary. Unless the replacement display assembly didn't come with those.
I think you need to since they're screwed down. Otherwise, I don't see how else the display covers would come off. I had to unscrew the covers to unhinge the display springs in order to remove the screen since they're attached.
I agree. I have used these instructions twice, and each time was successful. The only thing I would suggest iFixit is to add to the kit is a magnetic mat for all the screws placement, so nothing is lost nor forgotten where each one goes.
This guide worked great for me. Reading through the comments on the various steps was beneficial. There were a couple points where I needed to use a T4 screwdriver tip vs the T3 tip mentioned, but other than that, all the steps are clear and the photos a great help.
Can you provide help and easy way to replace screen
Is this step necessary? I can’t perform this step as I am attempting to repair water damage and need to remove logic board & most likely replace the battery.
Macrepair SF - 回复
@mac_medic You definitely don’t want the power coming on while the board is wet. In your case, I think powering on the machine to disable Auto Boot would do more damage than it prevents. I agree, skip this step and be prepared to disconnect the battery quickly if the laptop automatically powers on. Good luck!

Tried this on a 2018 MBP 13” Touchbar (there’s no iFixit guide for this model yet). Need to replace a broken screen.
Luckily I managed to connect to an external screen (Cmd-Down Brightness to switch displays) and enter above command. Seems to work, but there’s another problem with this model - it powers up as soon as any key is pressed……. ffs <gnashes teeth>
Cool_Breeze - 回复
I unscrew the battery first and wrap electrical tape over the logic board battery connector before attempting any repairs to the board. Haven’t had any problems yet and I’ve worked on about 10 of these models already. Also when you open the bottom case use a suction cup at the bottom and pull up then run a plastic spudger along the edges to disconnect the clips. Also only use a plastic spudger on the board. Saw a youtube video from a repair shop and he did not disconnect the power and used all metal tools during the entire process of removing the board. His last step was to disconnect the battery terminal.

If you have a damaged screen you can still use a converter from thunderbolt (USB 3) to HDMI and plug your Macbook Pro to your TV as monitor display.

Hi. This does not work on 2018 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I did exactly this to disable auto boot. But when I check by using nvram -p it says: auto-boot true. Am I doing something incorrectly? I did everything step by step. Copied and pasted the sudo command, pressed enter and then entered my password. I have Big Sur 11.1 installed. Is there any other way since I need to replace the screen. Thank you. Adrian
Adrian Vizik - 回复
Hi everyone. This is also a little pointless if you can’t see anything on the screen, and you don’t have a display adapter to USB C to display it. I agree with Brian about removing the back and disconnecting the battery cable before you even think about opening the lid of the MacBook. Applying the insulation tape is also a handy little tip that just makes sure there is no way to discharge from either the board or battery.

I received the battery kit for my 2018 MacBook Pro and as per the above comment from bcardanha - Oct 12, 2021, I checked the voltage on the pads marked + and - . It was zero volts so I panicked a bit.
I sent a message on the iFixiT Facebook page and I got no reply. I finally found the customer service email for Ifixit Europe and sent them an email voicing my concern as I was not keen to work for couple of hours just to discover that the battery is faulty. I had an almost instant reply on the email (kudos to them) and they adviced me to go ahead and install the new battery as the voltage measured when battery is not connected is not relevant.
I took a leap of faith and after two hours… the new battery showed 50% charge and everything seems to be working just fine. I am happy it worked.

After removing the old battery and installing the new battery I powered up the MBP before screwing the bottom on. I discovered the my keyboard would not function. It took a few hours of investigation and frustration that I discovered the track pad power ribbon had become partially dislodged from the trackpad. I was able to see that this through the little machined slot where the battery sat. I had to remove the trackpad to reinsert the power ribbon back into the connector in the trackpad. after reassembling and reinstalling the battery etc the keyboard worked. Just food for thought if your run into the keyboard issue.

Excellent instructions. I was able to follow and install the new screen. I recommend that you get a good set of tools before you begin. I started with an inexpensive repair kit bought online. The Penta and torx bits failed. I bought an IFIXIT kit with quality bits and I was able to do everything I needed.

If you're not running an admin account the sudo command won't work (which honestly, you should not be running admin). Rather than logging in to your admin amount via the OS, in the terminal type "login [admin username]," then the password and you'll be able to do the sudo command as described above. Once you're complete, type "logout [admin username]" and you'll be good to go. Obviously replace [admin username] with whatever the account name for your admin user is.

For those unable to complete this step because the screen is too damaged I recommend leaving your macbook on until the battery dies.

Just replaced my 2018 15" MBP battery. Running Sonoma.
I found no way to disable AutoBoot (The status can be checked in the Power section of system report).
Anyway, i left my battery completely drain before opening the MBP, and had no issues during the process.

After sending this command in terminal when I checked what happens if I now open the lid, instead the screen lit slightly up (still black) then a battery symbol showing the charging state showed up.
Now, after replacement of the battery, this is all I get to see.
No reset of NVRAM nor PRAM helped.
Currently the new battery charges (58% atm) and it feels like it‘s mocking me.

I suspected the keyboard or TouchID sensor wouldn’t work, so I went on and checked every connector.
I missed connecting the left TouchID sensor from step 31.
