Reemplazo de pantalla de MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017, Desactivar el arranque automático: paso 1, imagen 1 de 3 Reemplazo de pantalla de MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017, Desactivar el arranque automático: paso 1, imagen 2 de 3 Reemplazo de pantalla de MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017, Desactivar el arranque automático: paso 1, imagen 3 de 3
    • 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 tu 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 - Contestar

    @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 - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

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

    Nursat b - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    Not able to do that with damaged screen

    richardjgreen - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

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

    result: `AutoBoot %00`

    Marek Polák - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

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

    hatuxka - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    I've just received my replacement battery and it reads 0,042V between the two main connectors. Do you think it's dead?

    peter sussex -

    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 - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

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

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

    maël muzelet - Contestar

    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 - Contestar

    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.

    arichard2401 - Contestar

    For those unable to complete this step because the screen is too damaged I recommend leaving your macbook on until the battery dies.

    Nicholas R Licato - Contestar

    Just replaced my 2018 15" MBP battery. Running Sonoma.
    I found no way to disable AutoBoot (The status can be checked in the Power section of system report).

    Anyway, i left my battery completely drain before opening the MBP, and had no issues during the process.

    Cédric Bontems - Contestar

    After sending this command in terminal when I checked what happens if I now open the lid, instead the screen lit slightly up (still black) then a battery symbol showing the charging state showed up.

    Now, after replacement of the battery, this is all I get to see.

    No reset of NVRAM nor PRAM helped.

    Currently the new battery charges (58% atm) and it feels like it‘s mocking me.

    webrockers - Contestar

    I suspected the keyboard or TouchID sensor wouldn’t work, so I went on and checked every connector.

    I missed connecting the left TouchID sensor from step 31.

    • Aplica un asa de succión a la caja inferior cerca del área central delantera del MacBook Pro.

    • Levanta el asa de succión para crear una ligera grieta entre la carcasa inferior y el chasis.

  4. Reemplazo de pantalla de MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017, Separa los clips: paso 4, imagen 1 de 3 Reemplazo de pantalla de MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017, Separa los clips: paso 4, imagen 2 de 3 Reemplazo de pantalla de MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017, Separa los clips: paso 4, imagen 3 de 3
    • Inserta una esquina de una púa de apertura en el espacio entre la caja inferior y el chasis.

    • Desliza la púa de apertura alrededor de la esquina más cercana y hasta la mitad del lado del estuche.

    • Esto libera el primero de los clips ocultos que aseguran la carcasa inferior al chasis. Debes sentir y escuchar el clip liberarse.

    The instruction implies that sliding the pick up to the side of the case releases the clip. This is far from the truth; it takes a pretty strong force to pop the clip open. The plastic pick is a good start, but you need to reach in and pull the middle of that side of the case pretty hard.

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

    • Inserta tu púa de apertura una vez más debajo del borde frontal de la caja inferior, cerca de uno de los dos orificios de los tornillos más centrales.

    • Dale a la púa un giro firme para liberar el tercer clip que sujeta la carcasa inferior al chasis.

    • Repite este procedimiento cerca del otro de los dos orificios para tornillos más lejanos, liberando el cuarto clip.

    Look at Step 8 pics 2 and 3 to see exactly where the clips are that need to be released. Taking the bottom cover off my MBP took for ever because I didn’t realize the clips were not right around the edges as the wording suggests. Once I realized this, it came off quickly and easily.

    • Tira de la caja inferior firmemente hacia la parte frontal del MacBook (lejos del área de la bisagra) para separar el último de los clips que aseguran la carcasa inferior.

    • Tira de una esquina y luego de otra.

    • Tira de costado no hacia arriba.

    • Esto puede requerir un montón de fuerza.

    On the 2018 model, there are two more clips that need to be popped on the sides in the middle. Then it slides out easily.

    • Retira la caja inferior.

    • Para volver a instalar la caja inferior:

    • Colócala 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 las pinzas se enganchen.

    • Cuando los clips deslizantes estén totalmente acoplados y las minúsculas parezcan estar correctamente alineadas, presione firmemente sobre las minúsculas para acoplar los cuatro clips ocultos que hay debajo. Deberías sentir y escucharlos encajar en su lugar.

    • Con cuidado despega el trozo grande de cinta que cubre el conector de la batería en el borde de la placa lógica más cercano a la batería.

    • Remueve la cinta.

    Please be VERY careful, I torn up my battery cable and had to replace all the battery.

    • Con cuidado despega el pequeño trozo de cinta que cubre el conector del cable de datos de la placa de la batería.

    • La cinta está integrada en el cable plano y no se separará completamente. Simplemente despégalo lo suficiente para acceder el conector.

    While the tape in this step was definitely attached to the ribbon cable, I accidentally pulled it off during Step 9, thinking that it was a tab to remove the larger tape covering the whole battery connector. It didn’t seem to do any harm.

    • Usa la punta de un spudger para dar vuelta la pequeña lengüeta negra de bloqueo que sujeta el cable en su conector.

    Be very careful here. I had to repeat this procedure several times on my MacBook Pro to replace faulty monitors. Eventually, after being opened and closed so many times, the small black locking tab came right off of the connector. Now my battery connection is broken and I can only use my MacBook when it is plugged into the power supply. I’m trying to find a way to securely connect the battery cable without this little locking tab (maybe with tape or something), but so far no luck. Does anyone at iFixit have any advice for me?

    Jamie Near - Contestar

    Like Jamie said, use mass amounts of caution here. The lever is very fragile, and mine came off as well - and I’m not exactly a muscular guy. Without it, the connection cannot be made to the data connector, and the computer will not think that a battery is installed. I had to finagle my connector with tweezers and a spudger back into place (and the picture above makes it look normal sized. The picture lies. It is TINY! We’re talking smaller than a small eyelash tiny), and then used some of the adhesive battery strip to hopefully keep it in place.

    Wayne Linder - Contestar

    The previous comments are not exaggerated. There ain’t NOTHIN’ to that locking bar. I found it helpful to zoom in with my phone to work on it. It really requires no force to move, I imagine the tape is there to hold it down.

    david - Contestar

    The 1.1 screws are at a slight angle (on the 2018 model, not sure about the 2017 one) so make sure you angle your screwdriver around 10° off vertical towards the rear edge of the machine.

    Cool_Breeze - Contestar

    Stripped a number of these with two different repair kit screwdrivers (other brands). Waiting on a 3rd screwdriver to arrive and then will resort to super glue or a dremel to fit a tool to these and remove. Terrible time with this.

    Just removing four LCD screen’s now. This is the worst part by far. I have what I thought was a reasonable quality Baku BK-338 P2 Pentalobe screwdriver. I am onto the third display removal and the WiFi antenna removal is where the fun begins. On the first two WiFi antenna, about five (too depressed to count them) screws rounded out in the pentalobe head. I managed to get them all out using flush cutters - gripping them with the cutters as flush as I could to the surface of the antenna and just trying to get them to rotate CCW a little to “break the seal“ so to speak without cutting in so deep as to totally mangle the head and locking them in even tighter :)

    Peter Newman - Contestar

    Then I pushed them tangentially with one arm of some stout tweezers and slowly worked them out. Got them all out with minimal damage to the brass part of the antenna but I am confident it will still function OK. On the third one now and four rounded out so I better get back to it. A totally s**t way to attach them and far too many screws IMO. My biggest tip is using a quality tool like the Wera or Wira brands, pushing down into the screw and carefully and slowly applying rotation force. Have some flush cutters on standby in case you round any screws out and good luck.

    • Desconecta cuidadosamente los tres cables coaxiales de la antena, sacándolos directamente de la placa lógica.

    • Desliza tus pinzas o el extremo plano de tu spudger debajo de cada cable hasta que esté cerca del zócalo, y luego suavemente gíralo o haz una palanca para desconectarlo.

    • Para volver a conectar cada cable, alinea el conector directamente sobre su enchufe, y luego presiona hacia abajo para que encaje en su lugar.

    A good check that the antenna cables are connected properly, is to gently wiggle the wire. The connector will move back and forth without disconnecting. If you press too hard when reconnecting, the soft brass can become damaged, and you'll need a new antenna bar.

    • Usa una púa de apertura para extraer el ensamblaje del cable de la antena en las áreas que se muestran

    • No deslices la púa de apertura de un lado a otro porque hay dos cables de pantalla que pueden dañarse.

    • Retira con cuidado el ensamblaje de la antena, mientras que simultáneamente alimentas el haz de cables de la antena por debajo del tubo de calor.

    Reversing this step was the hardest part for me. There is a small “tunnel” that runs under the heat pipe which the 3 antenna cables plus the securing bracket must be threaded through. The shortest cable easily got stuck or pushed off to the side under the heat pipe. After many attempts, I found success by bending the 3 wires ever so slightly to the left before inserting them in the tunnel, so that when they make it through the tunnel, they were more prone to stay straight. It was easy to grab them one by one with tweezers by doing that. Just have to be very careful.

    cdowney - Contestar

    To easily fit the antenna cables – turn the whole antenna assembly about 90 degrees ccw and wiggle it a bit back and forth. Since the cables are a bit prebent they quite easily “pops” up – no need to tie them together. The last trick is to not forget the metal tab – using tweezers or a spudger to help guide the tab in position.

    John Ross - Contestar

    I was very nervous about reversing this step (2016 model) but had very little trouble getting the wires back through the channel (only took me a couple minutes). I had a harder time reconnecting them, but did manage that as well.

    • Remueve el ensamblaje de cable de antena.

    • Durante el reensamblaje, aprieta suavemente el haz de cables y guíalo bajo el tubo hasta la posición correcta en la placa. Si es necesario, usa tus herramientas para ayudar a guiarlo, pero no lo fuerces.

    I had a LOT of trouble re-installing the three antenna cables underneath the heat pipe! The only way I could get them through was to use clear tape to bind the three antenna connectors together tightly into one pointy end. I was able to push that through into place, but I was not able to push the three separate wires through.

    dkraemer2 - Contestar

    It’s possible to avoid this problem by just not removing the antenna assembly entirely. I secured the three cables and the screw holder together with a small cable tie to avoid them slipping out. You can fit the new screen without removing the assembly completely.

    Stuart Mc -

    Thanks dkraermer2 for that tip of wrapping all 3 wires into a narrow point. I used Capton tape. The metal screw holder needed help as it catches on a ridge in the MB. I used tweezers to “Lift” it over that last ridge.

    Macrepair SF - Contestar

    Make sure the antenna cable assembly locates correctly on reassembly. It is important to install this down onto its locating lugs, not pushing from the rear of the machine towards the front. There is a small ‘u’ shaped cutout on bottom of the assembly and a metal tab which must locate into the corresponding ‘u’ shaped lug and slot cut into the metal of the top case. If this is not located correctly there is a good chance that the screen will foul when opening and closing resulting in an audible click as it catches the antenna assembly.

    BrianS - Contestar

    +1 for BrianS comment. The U shape is a placeholder for the antenna and is located at antenna center. If this ever happened to you, fold gently the antenna strip to leave 3 mm space from the antenna main block, and place the antenna center first in oder for the antenna to fit into the U shape properly.

    Xavier Fischer -

    +1 to both BrianS and Xavier Fischer’s comments above. Even when the lug and the cutout are identified, it’s not easy to tell if it’s been seated correctly until you test the hinge. I found Xavier’s suggestion worked.

    Stuart Mc -

    Putting the three antenna cables to snap onto the connectors again, It felt like I succeeded after much struggle. But after putting it all together - the screen is black. External monitor works though. 2 of 3 feels certain though as it seems on place.

    Martin Klasson - Contestar

    Once all 16 antenna screws are removed along with single screw securing wifi simply loosen the antenna and while holding each end , ROTATE it and pull away gently so as to not disturb the bend of the wifi wires passing thru the heat pipe. The wires are never physically touched and they keep their “natural” bend. To reassemble, holding antenna, guide the two wi-fi wires and the securing lug thru heat pipe as the antenna is rotated into place . There is a very narrow milled slot on the underside that the antennas metal shield must fit into or else it will cause the snapping clicking noise ( spoken of earlier in this guide )as the display assembly hangs up during its opening / closing. Make sure if need be, the spacing between the metal shield and plastic body of antenna is the same as the ridge between the milled slot and the milled out area moving towards rear of palm rest. Alignment is important.

    robert - Contestar

    I was able to install the new screen without removing the antenna cables, I just loosen the antenna screw and uplift the antenna enough to get the screen cables out and reinserted new cable underneath, a helper might come handy while you install new screen.

    When placing back the holder for the display cable I used the wrong length screws and the bolts connected to the connector strip came off. Is this a concern as I am having back light issues in that I can see the outline of an image but its very dim. Thank you.

What is the ribbon cable that you must remove before disconnecting the battery do?

Max4r - Contestar

your mom.

all joking aside, its the communication between the logic board and the battery controller (cycle count, battery health etc)

Joe Jankins -

What is the exact P2 bit you need to remove the 12 screws holding the antenna bar? I ordered a P2 bit on Amazon that says it’s 0.8mm P2 bit and it’s too big. Not sure if they shipped me the wrong one or what. Been trying to find out exactly what bit to use and no luck so far.

Tyson Roehrkasse - Contestar

Pentalobe P1L from Wiha tools fits perfectly.

Robin Ray -

What about the display ribbon cable ?

I have a bad cable and don’t want to spend 400 on display assy when the cable is available on this site for 25

Robin Bonathan - Contestar

Were you able to do this successfully? I am in this exact situation and am having a hard time finding anything on it. Which ribbon cable is needed?

Carson Orchard -

I will be doing this in couple of days.

I have screen and the tools.

Does anyone know if the iFixit screens for the 2017 model have a longer backlight cable to combat the flexgate issue? or is it just the same as the original.

Connor - Contestar

Fantastic guide! Only difference on my MB Pro was that all the T5’s were T4’s. Satisfied knowing Apple didn’t get me for this repair! HaHa!

MÆTHEIS SOL - Contestar

Is this guide valid for the 2019 model as well?

manuel.martella - Contestar

Followed this to the letter, and now my MacBook won’t power up, charge or anything. I’m devastated - and it was just the screen that was not working before.

Any advice other than the usual resets, etc? I don’t want to think that I wrecked the Logic Board…

Richard Belson - Contestar

I had the exact same thing happen and now I dont know what to do.

What happened in your case? was the board totally fried?

Anthony Gasbarro -

When reassembling the screen (hinge), it is better to temporarily tape the ribbon cable to the back of the screen; ensuring the cable and the screen circuit board not to mistakenly be positioned on top of the keyboard or accidentaly fold/squeeze the ribbon cable by the hinge.

I almost ripped the ribbon cable with the middle hinge when trying to put the screen hinge back into its place.

Aryo Pinandito - Contestar

Is this also Working for the MacBook Pro 2017 with Touch Bar. In Title there is it called Touchbar but its in Category from Mac Book Pro 2017 FunctionKeys ?

Marco - Contestar

I did it but didn’t do the auto boot and now it won’t turn on any idea on how I could fix this

azza_wikid_tunez - Contestar

So I replaced my screen. Works perfectly, but my touch bar is not working anymore! It shows everything, but I cannot touch operate it anymore. I guess I didn't damage anything. It's strange… where is the cable connected, so I can check if anything is wrong?

Maarten Leemans - Contestar

I have the same issue, and I can’t manually adjust screen brightness anymore.

Waleed Nazhan -

same issue, The brightness setting is no available anymore and the touch function of the TouchBar too.

SAVARY Sebastien -

why does the display replacement for the non touch bar model link to the touch bar one when they are different internally?

kegancforbes - Contestar

These steps worked well and I have successfully replaced my screen! My a1706 Touch Bar has one issue - the screen brightness can’t be adjusted any more. Anyone be got any tips? I can’t do it via the display menu either.

Vikram Jain - Contestar

Amazing, really appreciate it, you helped me doing a successful installation.

Ghannam Adham - Contestar

Thank you for the procedure it’s really clear ! After the replacement, i lost two functions : the setting of the brightness and the touch function of the TouchBar ( it works but there is not action when i touch the TouchBar…even after SMC and NVRAM intialization …). An idea about how to fix this issue ?

SAVARY Sebastien - Contestar

Super Tutoriel. Attention faire des photos du MacBook Pro 13 pouce. Car les tapes pour débrancher l’alimentation et l’antenne ne sont pas pareilles.

Florian Bonanno - Contestar

The instructions worked to perfection. However, when rebooting to go back to terminal and turn autoboot back on I cannot open any applications at all and the computer is sluggish. So that said I cannot open terminal. What could be the issue?

Jeff Craigmyle - Contestar

One thing that I think may be issue for apps not opening is I may possibly have damaged the battery board data cable connector as I completely missed the part about it having a release clip. I have ordered a new one hoping that fixes the issue. If anyone has any other ideas please reply.

Jeff Craigmyle -

The tiny screws on 18 are garbage. I was able to get 1 screw out and the others sorta stripped really easily. Now I have to figure out how to get them off.

QuickTech - Contestar

Excellent guide. Thanks for putting this together. My first time doing anything like this but installation was successful.

Jacob Ford - Contestar

I am wanting to convert my 2017 MacBook Pro to a headless set up because the screen stopped working and wanted to know if I can keep the antennas connected and just unscrew them when taking the screen off? Or are they connected to the display like in previous models?

Cameron Stone - Contestar

This guide is for A1706 MacBook?

cristiano - Contestar

A1708 I believe
