    • Before starting this procedure, you must disable your Mac's Auto Boot feature. Auto Boot powers on your Mac when you open the lid, and may be accidentally triggered during disassembly. Use this guide or follow the abbreviated instructions below to disable Auto Boot. This command may not work on all Macs.

    • Power on your Mac and launch Terminal.

    • Copy and paste the following command (or type it exactly) into Terminal:

    • 'sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00

    • Press [return]. If prompted, enter your administrator password and press [return] again. Note: Your return key may also be labeled ⏎ or "enter."

    • You can now safely power down your Mac and open the bottom case, without it accidentally powering on.

    • When your repair is complete and your Mac is successfully reassembled, re-enable Auto Boot with the following command (typed into Terminal, as shown above):

    • sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03

    • Two 6.2 mm screws

    • Four 3.4 mm screws

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your device.

This guide is not for the 2019 MacBook Pro (A2159 EMC 3301) with 2 Thunderbolt ports.

dpikop - Contestar

Does anyone know of a guide for the 2019 MacBook Pro?

madkrupt - Contestar

If it doesn't turn on first try just keep troubleshooting. I had to disconnect the zip connector for the battery and reconnect it and then really smash (maybe not smash, but firmly press on every section of the case) down the case (I don't think it turns on otherwise). Otherwise great guide even though there are some things that are repeated and small steps that are omitted (unplugging and removing a bracket in step 18). Also would have been nice to see some pictures underneath the brackets. Felt like I was just poking around at times. Also, don't get the data alliance thing. You don't need it.

Also be completely prepared for this repair to potentially do absolutely nothing. I had one USB C port go out so I tried this and it did nothing. Apparently there's a USBC controller issue on the logic board.
