简介
Use this guide to replace the trackpad.
工具
-
-
Remove the following ten screws securing the lower case to the upper case:
-
Two 2.3 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
-
Eight 3.0 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
-
-
-
Grasp the Interposer with tweezers.
-
Lift the Interposer off the logic board and remove it.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the right side of the I/O board data cable connector up off its socket on the I/O board.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the SSD cable connector up from its socket on the logic board.
-
Move the SSD cable connector out of the way.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the headphone jack cable connector straight up off its socket on the logic board.
-
-
-
Use your thumb or finger to bend the plastic spring bar on the SSD tray, freeing the two clips at the front side of the device.
-
While holding the spring bar depressed, tilt the SSD assembly up out of its cavity.
-
-
-
Remove three 2.2 mm T5 Torx screws from each side of the battery (six screws total).
-
-
-
Now that your MacBook Pro is fully prepped, it's time to prep yourself.
-
Wear eye protection when handling and applying the adhesive remover. (Eye protection is included in your kit.)
-
Do not wear contact lenses without eye protection.
-
Protective gloves are also included in your kit. If you are concerned about skin irritation, put your gloves on now.
-
-
-
Repeat the above steps to separate the adjacent battery cell from its adhesive:
-
Apply a few drops of liquid adhesive remover under the battery cell.
-
Wait 2-3 minutes for the adhesive remover to penetrate and soften the adhesive.
-
Carefully wedge a spudger or plastic card inwards, being careful to not damage the battery, and separate the battery cell from the adhesive securing it to your MacBook Pro.
-
-
-
Lift the battery as a whole up out of the upper case, and remove the battery.
-
With a little luck, you can slowly pull out each strip of adhesive with your fingers.
-
Otherwise, soak each section of adhesive with a bit of adhesive remover for 2-3 minutes, and then scrape it out with an opening pick or one of the other tools in your kit. This can take quite a bit of work, so be patient.
-
Mop up any remaining adhesive remover and give your MacBook Pro a few minutes to air dry.
-
Calibrate your newly installed battery: charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Unplug and use it normally to drain the battery. When you see the low battery warning, save your work, and keep your laptop on until it goes to sleep due to low battery. Wait at least 5 hours, then charge your laptop uninterrupted to 100%.

-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to flip up the retaining flap on the trackpad ribbon cable ZIF socket.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Hi!
I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15-Inch Early 2013. Is it a similar procedure for this laptop with a larger screen (15" versus yours 13")?
We've got guides for the 15" Early 2013, unfortunately, removing the battery in the 15" is significantly harder, you can follow the upper case guide to get most of the way and either replace the whole upper case (and get a new battery included), or use this guide to try to get the rest of the way. Best of luck!
I just wanted to say this worked for me, thank you for the walkthrough! My trackpad just suddenly died one day out of the blue. I thought it might be a lose cable, but ordered a replacement just in case. No loose cables, simple swap out did the trick. This walkthrough is very good. Only thing I'd warn the feint of heart is the removal of the batteries can be intense because they are glued in. You really need the right tool to work it free. I think the battery removal took at least 20 minutes alone!
Anyone, thanks again for your help!
Excellent write up. Three suggestions which i uncovered when i followed this procedure:
Step 5 - The silver shouldered screw was a T6 Torx, not a T7. On this basis, I didn't need a T7 Torx screwdriver for this procedure.
Step 15 & 19 - To remove the corner screws (the heads of which aren't immediately visible), you need to carefully remove the covering mesh with tweezers
Step 44 - Reposition of trackpad. I found that when putting the trackpad back in place during reassembly, it was tricky to get it in exactly the right position (perfectly centralised). I found that taking four small pieces of paper and folding them in half helped. I wedged a piece of folded paper in between the four sides of the trackpad and then tightened the screws. Once the screws are tightened, you can simply remove the paper.
