    • Antes de continuar, cierra la computadora y colócala sobre una superficie suave con la parte superior hacia abajo.

    • Retira los siguientes diez tornillos:

    • Dos tornillos Pentalobe de 9 mm y 5 puntos

    • Ocho tornillos Pentalobe de 2,6 mm y 5 puntos

    • El destornillador especial necesario para quitar los ocho tornillos Pentalobe de 5 puntos se puede encontrar aquí.

  2. WwI3rtRnhTEHj54C

    • Coloca tus dedos entre la pantalla y la caja inferior y jala hacia arriba para sacar la caja inferior de la Air.

    • Remueve la caja inferior y apártala.

  3. N4ACcJX3UJrBILst

    • Toma la lengüeta de plástico transparente conectada al conector de la batería y jálala hacia el borde frontal de la Air para desconectar la batería de la placa lógica.

    • No levantes hacia arriba en el conector mientras lo desconectas.

  4. y3TUhCKKYPlT2GMN

    • Remueve los siguientes cinco tornillos que sujetan la batería a la caja superior:

    • Tres tornillos T5 Torx de 6.3 mm

    • Dos tornillos T5 Torx de 2.4 mm

  5. Q6nMUHBqq3Ao6jyi

    • Al manipular la batería, evita apretar o tocar las cuatro celdas de polímero de litio expuestas.

    • Levanta la batería de su borde más cercano a la placa lógica y retírela de la caja superior.

    • Si estás instalando una batería nueva, debes calibrarla luego de la instalación.

    • Cárgala hasta el 100% y luego sigue cargándola durante al menos 2 horas más. Luego, desenchúfala y úsala normalmente para drenar la batería. Cuando veas la advertencia de batería baja, guarda tu trabajo y mantén tu laptop encendida hasta que se duerma. Espera al menos 5 horas, luego cárgala de forma ininterrumpida hasta 100%.

    • Si notas alguna conducta o problema inusual luego de instalar tu batería nueva, podrías necesitar restablecer el SMC de tu MacBook Pro.

    Thanks for the easy step by step guide. MacBook working like a dream again

    • Use la punta de un spudger o la uña para levantar la aleta de retención en el zócalo ZIF del cable de cinta del trackpad.

    • Asegúrese de estar mirando hacia arriba en la aleta de retención con bisagras (en el lado opuesto al cable), no en el zócalo en sí.

    • Tire del cable plano del panel táctil hacia afuera de su zócalo hacia el borde posterior del Air.

    Thanks for this fantastic guide!!! Got an old Macbook Air working again. Only difficult spot was the ZIF cables. Man, I hate ZIF cables....

    I found it easyer to first connect the cables to the touchpad during reassabling. I could handel the tiny connectors better. After connecting the cabels I could easiely install the touchpad it self.

    • Mientras levanta con cuidado el cable plano del teclado con una mano, use la punta de un spudger o la uña para levantar la solapa de retención del zifón ZIF del cable plano del teclado.

    • Asegúrese de estar prestando atención a la aleta de retención con bisagras, no al zócalo en sí.

    • Tire del cable de cinta del teclado directamente fuera de su zócalo hacia el borde frontal del Air.

    • Retire los siguientes doce tornillos:

    • Seis tornillos Phillips de 1,6 mm que sujetan los soportes del trackpad al trackpad.

    • Seis tornillos Phillips de 1,6 mm que sujetan el panel táctil a la carcasa superior.

    • Un Phillips # 000 debería ser suficiente, pero un JIS # 000 también podría funcionar.

    I stripped one of the six 1.6mm screws securing the trackpad to the upper case. Where could I get a replacement and what are the exact dimensions (I assume that 1.6mm is the length not the head size). Not sure whether this is the right place to post this, but I would be very thankful for some help.

    The 00 philips driver is not working for these 6 screws...very frustrated....

    Adam -

    The 00 phillips screw driver does not do the job for step 8!!!!!!!!! FRUSTRATING!

    anonymous 1446 -

    Anyone figured the right screwdriver?

    er09gi4v -

    Worst part was the philips screws on the brackets, step 8. One screw wouldn't unscrew for the longest time. I stripped it so bad, that I finally got it undone with a Torx 5 that I wedged into the stripped screw hole! Fortunately the replacement trackpad came with it's own brackets and screws anyway, so I didn't need to re-use the messed up screw.

    In the end, success...phew!

    fauxryan -

    Beware that when you remove these screws the trackpad will have dropped down and resting on the screen. Maybe a precaution would be to place a thin cloth between the trackpad and screen.

    Joe -

    Agreed on the error in the guide. J00 seems to be the best fit.

    I stripped one of the 12 screws. Of course one of the ones attached to the unibody frame not the trackpad. I thought I could weasel the trackpad out without taking the right bracket off but no dice. I had to bend the bracket and turn it around to get the trackpad out.

    After I got the trackpad out I took out the replacement (purchased from here) and lo and behold it had the two brackets attached! So great, I'm good on screw count! But crap, now I REALLY need to get that stripped screw back out.

    Thankfully I was able to dig it out with a tiny flat head bit from the 54 bit driver kit.

    I even reattached the two brackets to the old trackpad and put it back in the ESD bag. I wonder if I can send it back to iFixIt to be refurbished. Don't want to toss it and have it wind up in a landfill unnecessarily!

    David Lam -

    The Phillips 00 I bought from iFixit definitely doesn't work. Gonna try their 000.

    My new trackpad came with the brackets installed. It wasn’t necessary for me to remove the screws circled in orange (they hold the bracket to the trackpad). Check to see if your new trackpad has the brackets installed before removing the orange screws.

    Doug Weathers -

    After purchasing multiple sets of drivers to get these out, I recommend anyone who finds they don’t have an adaquet PH00 driver to skip any dollar store or RadioShack driver sets. Head down to your local tool shop or auto repair store and buy yourself a $5-$10 set of precision drivers with only a few bits. Don’t go buying yourself a 20 piece set and think you’re getting a deal, these screws require a good quality PH00 to be removed without stripping.

    Spencer Shupe -

    When you're putting it back together, it's useful to attach these to the trackpad so it won't drop below the socket

    Jelan -

    Removing the bracket is completely unnecessary. Simply remove the top three screws on each bracket, and slide the trackpad out.

    • Retire los soportes del trackpad derecho e izquierdo de la caja superior.

  10. yVFOtIxSUn34TuQo

    • Retire el tornillo de ajuste Torx T5 de 1,4 mm de su orificio roscado cerca del borde frontal de la carcasa superior.

    • Durante el reensamblaje, no apriete demasiado el tornillo de ajuste, ya que el botón dejará de hacer clic en un punto determinado. Ajuste el tornillo de ajuste hasta que el lado móvil del trackpad tenga un juego mínimo.

    This was a T10 on my Mid 2011.

    Joe -

    Sorry, seems more like a T6

    Joe -

    This was a T6 on mine as well. Sadly I figured that out after threading the screw with the T5 included in the iFixit kit, so now my trackpad won't click at all.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Buy a T6 screwdriver if the T5 in the kit is just a bit too small for the screw in step 10.

    I thought the purpose of this set screw was to adjust the height of the pad relative to the rest of the deck. By feeling underneath as I adjusted this screw, I was able to get the join between the pad and the deck seamlessly level,

    Hi, I just want to ask what it means that it will stop clicking eventually, I had my macbook air trackpad replaced after some water fell on it and now around 9 months later the trackpad click gets stuck and it's driving me crazy, I went back to the service center myself and the technician actually admitted that he overtightened the screws but since the parts warranty is only 90 days he has to charge me again. So my question actually is can overtightening it cause permanent damage? Is there anything I can do? There's no apple store here (Cyprus) but the service center is one of the official service and registered distributor for Mac products and specifically for the more professional clientele.

    can anyone tell me where to get a replacement for the set screw mentioned in step 10? mine has gone missing. all i need is the screw, i don't want to replace the whole trackpad.

    sean -

    I, too, have a question about the set screw. I replaced a MacBook Air 2011 keyboard because of water damage and that process involves also taking out the trackpad and putting it back in. After reassembly, I now get phantom clicks (the "click" sound happens as expected, but the Air frequently thinks I'm clicking when I'm not). Could this be a result of over/under tightening the set screw, or is it more likely the trackpad also needs replacement?

    Hank -

    The set screw on my macbook barely turns 1/8 of a rotation before it hits a blockage. I do not want to try to turn harder for fear of stripping the screen and/or the threads in the case. I assumed that the screw should be able to be completely unscrewed from the case, correct? Any idea what's causing the blockage?

    johnkowtko -

    There is no need or benefit to removing this screw completely. Maybe back it out a little bit just to make it easier to install the new trackpad, and then adjust it once the new trackpad is mounted in the case. Agreed, this was a T6 on my MacBook Air 13" Mid 2012.

    mattdittrich -

    It was a T6 in MacBook Air Mid 2011 as well.

    Armin Hempel -

    Touching this screw is unnecessary.

The screws are not Philips 00. They are smaller than Philips 000. I am looking for a screwdriver in that size.

I have the iFixit toolkit, and the PH000 tip simply did not fit into the head. The J000 tip could remove a couple screws, but started to strip the head of two others before I stopped. The tip almost stripped the two I removed on reinsertion.

The replacement trackpad comes with a set of these screws.

Hey Pierre! There was an Amazon service outage that affected the images on this page. Take another look, you should be able to follow this guide now! =)
