    • Use the edge of a spudger to pry the battery connector upwards from its socket on the logic board.

    • It is useful to pry upward on both short sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket.

hi everyone my MBP have red light in headphone jack what can i do ?? plz help me

Reach - Contestar

Supposed I want to semi-permanently remove microphone functionality altogether at the hardware level, but not necessarily remove it (for the same privacy reasons as disconnecting the built in camera) . Is this the best way to do it, or is there another way that is not so extensive?
