You now have all of the screws needed to remove the top case out
and organized to the side. You are now ready to pull off the top case. Be
cautious when pulling off the top case as there is a cable connected from
the top case to the main logic board. It is best to start at the top two
corners above the speakers and gently lift up. Just place each
hand at the appropriate corner, place your fingers in the
groove between the trim of the top case and the bottom
case and lift straight up. In some cases it may require a
little force, but it shouldn’t take much. Once you have it
started, you can make your way down the sides of the case
towards the front of the machine. It should be fairly simple,
but with some MacBook Pros, it can get stuck a little on the front side.
There are some clasps holding it in. Usually it will lift out fine, but if you
are having trouble, you may need to resort to using a flat tool such as a
flathead screwdriver or a spudger and help release the clasps in the prob-
lem areas. Be very careful if you must use a flat tool. This metal
is extremely easy to scratch and bend. The best and safest
way to get to the clasps is to come in from the partially lifted
sides and apply pressure at the front. Once the top case is
separated around all of the sides, you can slowly flip it back
and you should be able to see the cable attached to the
main logic board. It may have a piece of tape holding it in.

Keeping track of all
your screws
There are several ways to organize your
screws during a repair. If you have a
container such as an empty jewelry box or
a small tackle box that has several small
sections, that would make it much easier to
keep track of your screws.
! Organize them by the type of
screw it is, what size it is, and any other
characteristics such as a polished head
or color.
! It is also good to organize them in
order of removal from the machine so
you will be able to follow your way back.
This will help get your machine back the
way it was with the appropriate screws.
You do not want to end up getting your
machine back together and realize you
used one of the polished screws inside
somewhere and be stuck with going back
in or living with your mistake.
! These external screws can be
purchased from our company, but they are
not cheap, so it would be best just to heed
this advice and keep track of all your
screws.
