Removing the Display
Previous steps required...
Opening the MacBook Pro
Removing the Top Case
Disconnecting the Cables
There are five primary cables that go up into the display. They, there-
fore, need to be disconnected in order to separate the display from the
main body of the MacBook Pro. These are the display cable, the inverter
cable, the two wireless antenna cables (Airport and Bluetooth), and the
iSight cable. The iSight and inverter cable are the top two cables on the
left side of the main logic board. The iSight is the topmost cable. Both
cables just slide out. Just be sure to get a good hold and to not pull from
the wires if possible. These cables are pictured above. The Airport and
Bluetooth cables are con-
nected to the Airport
card. These should
be removed by using
a spudger or needle-
nose pliers and lifting
as straight up as pos-
sible. (A picture of
these can be found in
the Removing the
Airport Card section)
The display cable is
located on the other side
of the board. It is the large orange cable with the metal connector on the
end. This cable con-
trols the picture on the
screen. It can just be
pulled out of the con-
nector.
Unscrewing the
Hinges
Once all of the
cable are discon-
nected we can proceed
with removing the display. The display is held on by 4 screws that are
screwed into the hinges. There are two types of screws but both use a
Torx T6 screwdriver. The front screws are going to only be partially
threaded while the back ones should be fully threaded. Make sure you
don’t mix these up as switching them can cause problems with the
hinges. Once the four screws have been removed, you can gently lift the
display out of the main body of the MacBook Pro. Be sure none of the
cables are getting snagged and slowly pull the display straight up and
then away. Lay the display flat on its back so the screen does not get
accidentally scratched.
(some pictures may
show certain compo-
nents have already been
removed, but that re-
moval is not necessarily
required to remove the
display.)
