When I replace the keyboard I always replace the backlight too. Now you can remove the old failed or damaged keyboard and replace it with a new one.Īssemble the laptop following all steps in the reverse direction.īy the way, sometimes it’s possible to repair damaged keyboard keys instead of replacing the entire keyboard. There are many tiny screws (about 60) securing the keyboard to the palmrest assembly. Now you are ready for the keyboard removal. If you plan to reuse the bakclight, make sure those layers don’t get separated. Start separating the old backlight from the keyboard/plamrest assembly. Now the keyboard and backlight ready for the removal. Make sure the spring is in place when you install the new power button/keyboard. There is a silver spring located under the power button. When you remove the keyboard the power button also has to be removed. NOTE: the power button is part of the keyboard. The power button cable routed under other cables. Remove two screws securing the power button to the palmrest assembly. Remove two screws securing the center bracket. Move the AirPort/Bluetooth/speaker assembly aside. Unroute the speaker cable from the center bracket. Remove two more screws securing the optical drive. Move the assembly a little bit to the right so you can access one screw securing the optical drive. Remove four screws securing the AirPort/Bluetooth/speaker assembly. The microphone cable routed very tightly and hard to access. Now you can see why we separated the microphone from the palmrest assembly in the step 8. The logic board was removed with the MagSafe board and microphone attached to it. Start separating the logic board from the palmrest assembly. Remove all screws securing the logic board and MagSafe board (power connector board). Most likely it will not come out clean and some sticky tape and cushion rubber will remain attached to the cover but that’s OK. Using a sharp object carefully unglue the microphone from the palmrest assembly. You might easily damage the microphone cable connector during this procedure. It’s possible to lift up the logic board, unplug the microphone cable, unroute the cable and remove the logic board without separating the microphone from the logic board BUT… it will be very difficult to install the logic board back into the laptop and connect the microphone cable. In this MacBook Pro the microphone is glued to the palmrest assembly. Remove the display cable retaining bracket. Remove three screws securing the silver grounding plate and display cable retainer. The retainer will open up at a 90 degree angle.Īfter both connectors unlocked, you can pull cables from the connectors. Lift up the retainer with your fingernail.

Here’s how to disconnect the display video cable connector. I will show how to disconnect them in the following steps. With USB C you had to open the machine to check, now you can see from across the room.Now we’ll have to disconnect all other cables from the logic board. I tried a 3rd party USB C- magnetic charging adapter for my 2016 MBP but it was horribly unreliable.Īside from being easier to use, having the LED on the cable to show charging status was incredibly handy. It just worked and it was a boneheaded move to remove it. is right - Magsafe was one of those brilliant Apple innovations that was beautifully simple and functional. (I assume you can use a USB C-USB C cable with the same power adapter) I actually don’t like the ease with which USB C plugs pull out I find them less secure than the old USB A plugs and have accidentally disconnected USB C cables on occasion. You can still charge via the TB4 ports, it’s just limited to 100W. Plus, the USB-C plug actually pulled out more easily in my experience than the reworked barrel-style MagSafe 1 connector. The benefit of being able to charge from either side was well worth it for me at the time. The 14-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 67W charger, but if you want to use the Fast Charge ability to go from zero.

No one thinking clearly would have ever killed it. The charger is either 67W, 96W, or 140W, depending on the model of Mac you choose.
I'd love to know who was responsible for the removal of MagSafe. I typically keep my MBPs for seven years, so only three more to go on my 2017 before I get to have MagSafe again! Wheeee!
