Introducción

Si tu panel táctil está roto o necesitas removerlo para acceder a la batería de forma más fácil, sigue estos pasos.

Para tu seguridad, descarga la batería de tu MacBook Pro por debajo del 25% antes de comenzar este procedimiento. Una batería de iones de litio cargada puede crear un fuego peligroso e incontrolable si se perfora accidentalmente.

    • Antes de comenzar, debes desactivar la función de arranque automático de tu Mac. Auto Boot se enciende en tu Mac cuando abres la tapa y puede activarse accidentalmente durante el desmontaje. Usa esta guía o sigue las instrucciones abreviadas a continuación para deshabilitar el inicio automático. Este comando podría no funcionar en todas las Macs

    • Enciende tu Mac y ejecuta Terminal.

    • Copia y pega el siguiente comando (o escríbelo exactamente) en la Terminal:

    • sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00

    • Presiona [return]. Si se te solicita, introduce tu contraseña de administrador y vuelve a pulsar [return]. Nota: La tecla de retorno también puede estar etiquetada como ⏎ o "enter".

    • Ahora puedes apagar con seguridad su Mac y abrir la carcasa inferior, sin que se encienda accidentalmente.

    • Cuando hayas finalizado la reparación y se haya vuelto a ensamblar su Mac, vuelve a habilitar el inicio automático con el siguiente comando:

    • sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03

    Is this step necessary? I can’t perform this step as I am attempting to repair water damage and need to remove logic board & most likely replace the battery.

    Macrepair SF -

    @mac_medic You definitely don’t want the power coming on while the board is wet. In your case, I think powering on the machine to disable Auto Boot would do more damage than it prevents. I agree, skip this step and be prepared to disconnect the battery quickly if the laptop automatically powers on. Good luck!

    Jeff Suovanen -

    Thats right! You don't want power running while working on your logic board.

    Dan -

    This did not work when running High Sierra.

    Kyle B -

    Tried this on a 2018 MBP 13” Touchbar (there’s no iFixit guide for this model yet). Need to replace a broken screen.

    Luckily I managed to connect to an external screen (Cmd-Down Brightness to switch displays) and enter above command. Seems to work, but there’s another problem with this model - it powers up as soon as any key is pressed……. ffs <gnashes teeth>

    Cool_Breeze -

    I unscrew the battery first and wrap electrical tape over the logic board battery connector before attempting any repairs to the board. Haven’t had any problems yet and I’ve worked on about 10 of these models already. Also when you open the bottom case use a suction cup at the bottom and pull up then run a plastic spudger along the edges to disconnect the clips. Also only use a plastic spudger on the board. Saw a youtube video from a repair shop and he did not disconnect the power and used all metal tools during the entire process of removing the board. His last step was to disconnect the battery terminal.

    Brian -

    Is this step necessary if my mac can turn on? Battery fully dead(

    Nursat b -

    BEFORE YOU START: The included torx head stripped off before I was done (and you might need an additional T4) so stop now and go buy a good one. Also they fail to warn you above to get some blue threadlocker ahead of time.

    Jason Sherron -

    This command did not work for me and I read that sometime in later 2020 Apple stopped this command from working…any ideas on a work around?

    Patrick Machacek -

    Not able to do that with damaged screen

    richardjgreen -

    If you have a damaged screen you can still use a converter from thunderbolt (USB 3) to HDMI and plug your Macbook Pro to your TV as monitor display. Just make sure to chose the right Source (HDMI IN) in your TV. I did it and to make it work I unplug and plug again in my Macbook and so I could disable the Auto boot

    Roberto Sanchez Bustos -

    Hi. This does not work on 2018 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I did exactly this to disable auto boot. But when I check by using nvram -p it says: auto-boot true. Am I doing something incorrectly? I did everything step by step. Copied and pasted the sudo command, pressed enter and then entered my password. I have Big Sur 11.1 installed. Is there any other way since I need to replace the screen. Thank you. Adrian

    Adrian Vizik -

    Hi everyone. This is also a little pointless if you can’t see anything on the screen, and you don’t have a display adapter to USB C to display it. I agree with Brian about removing the back and disconnecting the battery cable before you even think about opening the lid of the MacBook. Applying the insulation tape is also a handy little tip that just makes sure there is no way to discharge from either the board or battery.

    Roberto Enrieu -

    running `nvram -p | grep 'AutoBoot'` in terminal verifies that it was accepted

    result: `AutoBoot %00`

    Marek Polák -

    Running Big Sur 11.6.7 on a 2019 16" MBP, it's "auto-boot". So it's: nvram -p | grep 'auto-boot' to display the current state, the default is true - and then to change it, sudo nvram auto-boot=false which turns it off.

    Ed Mechem -

    This step is completely unnecessary if you follow the guide to disconnect the battery properly. Just put some tape between the battery and logic board connection to prevent it from accidentally touching and therefore powering on the laptop.

    Grant Ormsby -

    It took me a few tries to make this command work, as I was able to copy and paste the command into Terminal, but could not type in my laptop’s password. I finally typed my password into a text document, copied it (command C), and then pasted it into Terminal and it worked.

    tommy404 -

    I didn’t do this. Mine never auto-booted before I replaced the battery. Now it does.

    hatuxka -

    BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - CHECK THE BATTERY!

    I-fixit sent me a bad battery, which I didn’t realize until it was already install. They sent me a new one, but I wasted hours uninstalling and reinstalled.

    Get a volt meter and measure the voltage on the output of the battery pack. If it reads 0 V, SEND IT BACK. It should read over 2 V.

    bcardanha -

    When I did this from Terminal.app within Recovery Mode, the “sudo” was not recognized but I could invoke it without the sudo part. It seems to have been accepted when looking at “nvram -p”

    johann beda -

    When in Recovery Mode, you already have superuser powers. So you don't need to prefix commands with the sudo command to invoke them with root privileges; you already have them. Do a pwd (print working directory) after opening Terminal in Recovery Mode, and you'll see that you're in the root user's directory.

    Ed Mechem -

    I received the battery kit for my 2018 MacBook Pro and as per the above comment from bcardanha - Oct 12, 2021, I checked the voltage on the pads marked + and - . It was zero volts so I panicked a bit.

    I sent a message on the iFixiT Facebook page and I got no reply. I finally found the customer service email for Ifixit Europe and sent them an email voicing my concern as I was not keen to work for couple of hours just to discover that the battery is faulty. I had an almost instant reply on the email (kudos to them) and they adviced me to go ahead and install the new battery as the voltage measured when battery is not connected is not relevant.

    I took a leap of faith and after two hours… the new battery showed 50% charge and everything seems to be working just fine. I am happy it worked.

    Mircea Comanici -

    After removing the old battery and installing the new battery I powered up the MBP before screwing the bottom on. I discovered the my keyboard would not function. It took a few hours of investigation and frustration that I discovered the track pad power ribbon had become partially dislodged from the trackpad. I was able to see that this through the little machined slot where the battery sat. I had to remove the trackpad to reinsert the power ribbon back into the connector in the trackpad. after reassembling and reinstalling the battery etc the keyboard worked. Just food for thought if your run into the keyboard issue.

    Ed Mease -

    This should be the default. IMO I tell you to power on - not the lid.

    G Sena -

    Est ce que cela fonctionne sur un macbook pro 2017 sans touchbar ?

    maël muzelet -

    Bonjour Maël, oui, ce tutoriel concerne "les MacBook Pro 2016 (et plus récents) et les MacBook Retina 12" 2017 (et plus récents)"

    Claire Miesch -

    Excellent instructions. I was able to follow and install the new screen. I recommend that you get a good set of tools before you begin. I started with an inexpensive repair kit bought online. The Penta and torx bits failed. I bought an IFIXIT kit with quality bits and I was able to do everything I needed.

    Tom Markham -

    If you're not running an admin account the sudo command won't work (which honestly, you should not be running admin). Rather than logging in to your admin amount via the OS, in the terminal type "login [admin username]," then the password and you'll be able to do the sudo command as described above. Once you're complete, type "logout [admin username]" and you'll be good to go. Obviously replace [admin username] with whatever the account name for your admin user is.

    • Antes de proceder, desenchufa y apaga tu MacBook. Cierra la pantalla y colócala en una superficie blanda, con la parte superior hacia abajo.

    • Usa un destornillador P5 Pentalobe para remover seis tornillos que sujetan la caja inferior.

    • Dos tornillos de 6.2 mm

    • Cuatro tornillos de 3.4 mm

    • A lo largo de esta reparación, haz un seguimiento de cada tornilloy asegúrate de que vuelva exactamente a su lugar de origen para evitar dañar tu dispositivo.

    • Repite el paso anterior en el lado opuesto, deslizando la púa de apertura debajo de la minúscula y subiendo por el lado para liberar el segundo clip.

    Recommend being very careful on this step and the following step when using any opening tool to always keep the “pointy end” up when prying, especially about 40mm up the side, to avoid completely destroying the speaker diaphragms.

    • Tira de la caja inferior con firmeza hacia la parte delantera del MacBook (lejos de la zona de la bisagra) para separar el último de los clips que aseguran la caja inferior

    • Tira primero en una esquina, luego en la otra.

    • Tira hacia el lado, no hacia arriba.

    • Esto puede requerir mucha fuerza.

    I am sure that there are two snap lock things is the middle as well, not only on the side, is there a way to open that in a correct way too?

    • Remueve la caja inferior.

    • Para volver a instalar la caja inferior:

    • Colócalo en su lugar y alinea los clips deslizantes cerca de la bisagra de la pantalla. Presiona hacia abajo y desliza la cubierta hacia la bisagra. Debería dejar de deslizarse cuando los clips se enganchen.

    • Cuando los clips deslizantes están totalmente acoplados y la caja inferior parezca estar correctamente alineada, presiona firmemente sobre la caja inferior para acoplar los cuatro clips ocultos que hay debajo. Deberías sentir y oírlos encajar en su lugar.

    • Usa la punta de un spudger para levantar la pequeña lengüeta negra de cierre que asegura el cable en su conector.

    Be very careful here. It is easy to break the whole connector off the battery board, which is what I did. Luckily the connector is part of the replacement battery, so you just need to remove the connector from the cable. The pictures here should provide more detail so you can see better what is going on.

    • Desconecta el cable de datos de la placa de la batería deslizándolo de su zócalo.

    • Deslízate en paralelo a la placa lógica, en la dirección del cable.

    As simple as this step might seem, the golden leads will disapper the moment you remove it as it has some adhesive under the black strip that covers it. Ensure you peel it back enough to display the golden leads after swapping the batteries out.

    • Dobla el cable de datos de la placa de la batería a un lado y apártalo.

    I don't recall removing this cable from the laptop. I see that when actually putting the new battery in, the cable is attached already where it was detached and the right end needs to be reconnected.

    • Utiliza un spudger para levantar suavemente el conector de alimentación de la batería, desconectando la batería.

    • Levanta el conector lo suficiente para que se mantenga separado de su enchufe. Si accidentalmente haces contacto durante el transcurso de la reparación, podrías dañar tu MacBook Pro.

    To completely avoid accidental contacts I recommend to wrap this connector in a piece of paper and hold it in place with tape.

    Do not put tape directly on the contact underside, as that may leave some glue that would affect the contact conductivity.

    Sergio Ballestrero -

    I put a piece of tape on the underside of the connector (sticky side up) to insure against accidental battery contact. If you put tape on the logic board side of the connection, some insulating padding material might accidentally stick to the tape when the tape is removed during reassembly.

    • Prepara un iOpener y colócalo sobre el cable plano del panel táctil durante un minuto aproximadamente, para suavizar el adhesivo que sujeta el cable plano del panel táctil a la parte superior de la batería.

    • Si no tienes un iOpener, usa un secador de pelo para calentar el cable. El cable debe estar caliente, pero no demasiado caliente para tocarlo. Ten cuidado de no sobrecalentar la batería.

    • Usa un destornillador T5 Torx para remover los diez tornillos que sujetan el ensamblaje del panel táctil.

    • Dos tornillos de 4.3 mm

    • Ocho tornillos de 5.8 mm

    Heating the wrist-pad area and carefully using a plastic card to separate the adhesive allowed me to remove the battery without needing to use the solvent or removing the track-pad. No need for taping the speakers.

    johann beda -

    I attempted as well the shortcut with no solvent and no track-pad removal. Also, I didn't apply heating. Everything was totally fine yet a bit risky. In such conditions it is very hard not using the spudger flat tip to lift the battery packs. Well, I highly recommend NOT using the spudger on the two central packs. In fact, it would be extremely easy to destroy surface mounted components on the track-pad board which would be accessible through the metal frame holes under the packs (see pics along this guide). Plastic cards are always fine. Next time, I would probably avoid spudger and introduce floss as shown in Picture 34 below.

    • Asegúrate de no perder las seis pequeñas arandelas (dos circulares y cuatro rectangulares) que se encuentran en la parte inferior del panel táctil.

    Should include instruction to wedge thin paper one every side of the trackpad to keep it aligned during reinstallation. Without the wedges, the trackpad would come out misaligned, which might damage it from excessive friction. Kapton tape might also work, didn't try it though.

    These instructions were standard for Unibody models in the past, don't know why it wasn't included here.

How is the trackpad cable removed? is it simply adhesive or solder?

Scott Venable -

Dude - really well done guide - went very easily.

A tip on how to put the trackpad cable on would be good, it was trial and error.

Can’t believe how easy that was to do!
