As you know I’ve broken the logo chin plate on my display
Today I found the replacement part, just for $6, Awesome！
I want to know how to fix it ?
Do I need buy any superglue or something else?
Do I have to remove my whole screen, or just take this part down and replace it ?
I really appreciate ur help!
Thanks a lot

Heat the old one and use a painting knife to get under it on one side, then heat and slide under the rest of it, being careful not to scratch the screen. You may have to remove the assembly from the MacBook to do this, but on the 12" model you can replace the bottom glass without even opening it, so I assume it's the same.
The new glass has strong adhesive preapplied, you won't need to apply any.

@mactechplus replaced one for us a couple of weeks ago and hopefully he will chime in here. I'm pretty sure it was a peal and stick, but let's wait for Ken to be positive.

Reese is right. Just take a very thin and sharp blade and run it along the top of the plastic trim piece but do not go very deep. Once you get an end up, heat carefully, even put aluminum foil over keyboard and hinge cover and get the adheasive loose and pull old logo trim off. If your replacement doesn't have double stick tape on it you will need to apply some where the old one did and place it on. After you get it set , lightly heat and press down to seat it all the way.

I have attempted this. But now my screen is not working. Does anyone know what could have go wrong? I have been extremely careful and the screen worked all the way till the last end.
Nothing seems damaged. Is there any particular part under this that someone should be extra careful?

There are a few parts just under the plate did you push your knife blade in a bit to far? If you got the old chin plate off was it still working?
I have used the blade seldom and never went really in... I used the tweezers and removed the old chin bit by bit, as it was already cracked. The screen worked fine until I removed the last piece of the chin on the left side, which was still covering one of the ribbons.
Nothing seems to be damaged bye eye. I will get a better magnifying glass and inspect it again.
I was quite surprise to see the screen garbled after the removal of the last bit, since nothing seemed to be damaged. On the other hand I am not sure how fragile this connectors are. And if the connectors are to blame... how to get them back in place, or fix just the ribbon cables.
Can this issue cause the rest of your screen to crack?

Or is it just going not do anything? I'm worried it will affect the rest
who knows.... but if you look around you will se screen affected by a crack on the baffle. I guess it depends if it brakes on the ribbon cable.

Just a warning to everyone with a chip in their bezel -
I sent my Mac in because the battery needed servicing and issues with the keyboard keys (both are issues covered by AppleCare).
However, Apple refused to fix those issues because I had a chip in the bezel panel (triangular about ⅛” wide by ⅛” tall). If I let them fix this cosmetic issue at my expense, they would cover the original issues under AppleCare. If it had been $100 for the fix I would have probably done it, maybe at $150, but they wanted $494! Yes, almost $500 for the bezel.
They didn't care that it was a cosmetic issue that I didn’t care about. The three reps I talked to said the service department fixes everything or nothing, and a cracked bezel is 100% user abuse and never covered under AppleCare.
The reason it’s $494 that they don’t have just this panel in their parts inventory. This panel is part of the display assembly, so Apple’s service department will have to replace the whole display on my laptop (their service center won’t replace a single part, just assembly of parts, so the whole screen is one part.
The Apple rep assured me that if I fixed the bezel and then sent it back, they would cover my other issues under AppleCare (Fingers crossed they didn’t lie when I ship it back next week).
I removed mine with tweezers and a good mini-vacuum to suck up the tiny pieces of glass (while it looks like a sticker, it’s more like one of those thin glass screen protectors) It took 20 minutes. The replacement panel should be here in a few days.
If I had known it was an issue, I would have placed one of my kid’s stickers over the chip so the service department wouldn’t see it.

well, when I was removing it, I damaged the ribbon, so I had to get the screen replaced. It can be an easy fix, but I can wrong as well.
The thing is this bezel was not built to be serviceable, the same goes for the ribbon cable, which is the whole flexgate issue. In Schenzen, the people selling replacment parts actually offerd to replace the cable, so it can be done. Is just that here in the west they don't bother...
Good luck with the repairs!
bro where you get the. bizzel I recently broke mine and I can’t find anything

never replace these bezels. put tape of them. you will tear fragile bands of video cable behind it, and you'll end up with a big black screen or black vertical band someone on the screen.

@theelitepro_gd stop posting your guesses. If you don't know an answer or don't research it out, don't post it. Continuing to do so will get you banned from the site as I don't want to have to keep cleaning up after you.

I would start by taking a good look on the side of the new component that needs to be somehow attached to the MacBook, and I would choose my course of action depending on whether there are any clips or whether there is just a flat surface. Flat surface means the old one is somehow glued in place, so I'd need some new glue and a way to get the old one off w/o damaging the screen. Clips would mean extra work and I'd probably try a wrong method and get the screen all scratched up; I would end up getting really !#^&@@. EDIT: how is that a swear word?
