  1. MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Keyboard Replacement, Battery: 步骤 1 中的图像 1,1
    • Use your fingers to push both battery release tabs away from the battery, and lift the battery out of the computer.

    Before beginning, I found some small plastic bags and labeled each of the with the location the screws would come from once removed and the appropriate step number. Once the screws were removed I placed them in the labeled bags and did not have to worry about mixing screws up. Also, provided a good way to insure that no steps were skipped in the reverse process

    If you don't have any plastic bags, you can always print out the photos in black and white as you go, and then tape the screws on to the print outs over the circles that denote the screw positions in the photos. This method helps get every single screw back in it's exact location, even months after a tear down. ;o)

    When I did this, I used a empty egg carton to store my screws. I wrote the steps where I removed screens in Sharpie on the bottom of the "egg cup" and then dropped the screws in as I went. Then I just worked backwards to put it all back together.

    I Generally just use a piece of paper with a rough sketch of the system and locations of the screws with prestik.

  2. MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Keyboard Replacement, Memory Door: 步骤 2 中的图像 1,1
    • Remove the three identical Phillips screws from the memory door.

    • Make sure to record which sets of screws came from where. This will help when re-assembling.

  3. MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Keyboard Replacement: 步骤 3 中的图像 1,1
    • Lift the memory door up enough to get a grip on it, and slide it toward you, pulling it away from the casing.

  4. MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Keyboard Replacement, Upper Case: 步骤 4 中的图像 1,1
    • Remove the two Phillips screws in the battery compartment near the latch.

    Getting these screws in and out is difficult because most screwdrivers are longer then the battery compartment is deep and so will be slightly off plumb. When you go to re-assemble the computer, getting these screws to seat is one of the hardest parts of the re-assembly. It's very important to be gentle and not to strip the threads.The screw should tighten and come to a stop after 3-4 turns. If you turn 6 or more turns and don't feel it grab, then back off and try again, making sure that everything is in alignment.It might be easier to start with the left screw, because it is further away from the latch mechanism.

    • Remove the following 6 screws:

    • Two 10 mm T6 Torx screws on either side of the RAM slot.

    • Four 14.5 mm Phillips screws along the hinge.

    A T6 worked but was too small. A T7 was better.

    Be careful when reassembling your laptop -- do not put the screw into the DVI port! It will not come out.

    Be careful when reassembling your laptop -- do not put the screw into the DVI port! It will not come out.

    To keep this from possibly happening, I placed 2 pieces of tape over the DVI connector pin holes.

    rpbetancourt - 回复

    Be careful in step 4, these two screws are shorter than the four screws in step 6, dont mix them up!

    brendantully1 - 回复

    If you still have the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the computer plug it in to the plug and screw it tight, that way you will not put one of the screws into the holes.

    • Do not yank the upper case off quickly. The case is attached to the logic board via a ribbon cable.

    • Lift up at the rear of the case and work your fingers along the sides, freeing the case as you go. Once you have freed the sides, you may need to rock the case up and down to free the front of the upper case. This stage can be quite tricky. Over the DVD reader are 4 tabs set back which pull out vertically.

    • Note that the two small tongues on the left hand front of the upper case may bend while you remove the upper case. When re-installing, you may need to bend them back to fit in the grooves in the lower case.

    there are 2 push buttons inside the harddrive bay which release the front of the upper case.

    this is an annoyingly difficult step. it is VERY hard to get the front part off without bending the unit improperly. Would be great to know where the two "push buttons" are.

    lessig - 回复

    On my MacBook, there were no pushbuttons. Rather, two mini phillips screws were holding the case on inside the battery bay. The two screws are under two ball-bearing-like nubs that help hold the battery in the bay.

    I just realized these were the screws mentioned in Step 4, which I missed originally. Did you miss step 4 too?

    I discovered that I didn't need to take the case off completely. I just propped it up with a small screwdriver and was able to remove the airport card and replace it with a new one fairly easily.

    That's not so difficult step. you shoul know , that front edge of upper case holding only on 5 plastic "locks" 4 in front edge upon the superdrive, 5-th near the "sleep light, open laptop button"

    just lift up the rear edges of upper case to 35-40 degrees

    Getting the top case off, especially right above the optical drive slot was a @#$%^. !^$%. Was finally able to work it loose by twisting in the budger. Be careful.

    I agree! It was really very difficult just ROCKING the front panel. NOT done! Do not pry it from the front of the unit, as the soft metal edge gets scratched! I turned the unit upside down and slowly pried the keyboard apart left-to-right from INSIDE the Battery Bay, slipping a plastic pen to keep it apart. When I finally looked at what was holding it down, it was these 5 grey&black plastic SNAP slots, and 4 of them were behind the DVD slot.

    I found I had to push with a little force from underneath the battery compartment where the touch pad is located to free the bottom edge of the case. The case came away with two loud snaps. At first I thought I'd broken something, but then it appeared that it was just the plastic above the slot loading super drive that was held in very tightly and needed some encouragement.

    Joshua May - 回复

    There are several clips along the front of the case in front of trackpad and above the optical drive slot. These need to be gently levered open (eg using an old credit card), and clipped closed on reassembly. Start at the left hand side. Take care not to bend the aluminum top. When reassembling, check the top panel for kinks/bends and straighten by hand before reassembly.

    cheongi - 回复

    The way I did it was to lift the back to about 45% (the ribbon cable is long enough) and then used the spudger to force the 4 snap tabs in front of the optical drive to separate, working from the right edge towards the middle (they will 'pop'), ending with the last tab to the left of the sleep light.

    Hilal Malawi - 回复

    After reading all the step 9 comments I was prepared for it to be very difficult. The two bendable tabs on the left front of the case were no bigger than 1/4 inch wide each and caused no trouble taking it off or putting it back on. Lifting the cover off happened before I knew it. I was carefully lifting the cover from side to side and 'poof' it was off and the yellow ribbon attaching between the case and the keyboard was so old and brittle it parted ways without my permission so that took care of step 10 right there but no problem.

    Being prepared, reading the guide, printing the guide, taping each screw to the right place on the guide made it all easy. I'm amazed it went so smooth on the first run-through. Thanks iFixit!

    • Disconnect the trackpad and keyboard ribbon cable from the logic board, removing tape as necessary.

    • Remove the upper case.

    not necessary. just attach a string around both the screen and the keyboard. it will stay in a steady position..

    I found that the ribbon connecting the top part of the case to the logic board wasn't long enough and the connector did have to be disconnected.

    Use caution here to avoid breaking the connectors on the board. Flip up the black plastic , not the beige hold-down. If you break something here, you may need to purchase a new top case.

    • The first frame shows a tab in the "locked" position and the second frame shows the same tab in the "unlocked" position.

    • Use needlenose pliers or a spudger to bend each of the four tabs so that they are all in the "unlocked" position.

  22. MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Keyboard Replacement: 步骤 22 中的图像 1,1
    • Slide the keyboard ribbon out of its connector.

    • If the keyboard ribbon won't slide out, make sure that the black plastic flap holding the ribbon in place is vertical.

    • Before fastening the keyboard to the upper case, be sure to feed the keyboard ribbon cable and the backlight ribbon cable through the slots cut into the upper case.

  23. MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Keyboard Replacement: 步骤 23 中的图像 1,1
    • Place the upper casing on its edge and use a spudger to push the keyboard away from the casing, poking the spudger through the central keyboard screw hole. Grasp the keyboard as it separates from the casing.

  24. MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Keyboard Replacement: 步骤 24 中的图像 1,1
    • Maintaining your hold on the keyboard, lay the casing flat and gently bow the keyboard until the two tabs on either side of the keyboard come free.

    • Slide the keyboard away from the trackpad and out of the upper case.

    When you go to reverse the steps it can be tricky putting the keyboard back. I turned the assembly over to be able to get to the tabs from the back side. Also make sure that you thread the backlight ribbon cable through the frame.

Forget plastic bags...I use a muffin tin, such as that used for baking, and put the screws from each step in successive muffin holes. When I reverse, I just back up the order.
