Einleitung
In dieser Anleitung wird gezeigt, wie du den eingeklebten Akku deines MacBook Pro mit Hilfe des iFixit Kits entfernen kannst. Der flüssige Klebstoffentferner in deinem Kit wird den Kleber, mit dem der Akku befestigt ist, auflösen, so dass du ihn ganz leicht herausnehmen kannst.
Der iFixit Klebstoffentferner ist leicht entzündlich. Du solltest diese Reparatur in einem gut belüfteten Bereich durchführen und währenddessen nicht rauchen oder in die Nähe einer offenen Flamme kommen.
Um das Sicherheitsrisiko zu verkleinern, solltest du den Akku deines MacBook Pro vollständig entladen bevor du mit der Reparatur beginnst. Eine geladene Lithium-Ionen-Batterie kann ein gefährliches und unkontrollierbares Feuer verursachen, wenn sie versehentlich beschädigt wird. Wenn dein Akku aufgebläht ist, dann musst du geeignete Vorsichtsmaßnahmen treffen.
Hinweis: Das Lösungsmittel, das zum Auflösen des Klebstoffs verwendet wird, kann bestimmte Kunststoffe beschädigen, wie zum Beispiel die Lautsprechergehäuse aus Plastik des MacBook Pro. Sei deshalb besonders vorsichtig beim Auftragen des Lösungsmittels.

Ce tutoriel n’est pas dans la bonne section !
c’est le 13” avec touch bar et non celui avec les touches de fonction .
l’autre tuto nommé “écran complet” est le bon
Bonjour Vincent,
Si vous cherchez le même tutoriel pour le MacBook 13” non Touch Bar, le voici : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Remplacem...
Before you start I suggest you get magnifier eyeware as screws and connectors are very small and good lightning are a big PLUS
Completed whole steps in over 4 hours….but worth it. Works back perfect and battery error message is gone….
-
-
-
Setze einen Saugheber vorne in der Mitte auf das Gehäuseunterteil des MacBook Pro.
-
Hebe den Saugheber an, um den Rahmen und das untere Gehäuse leicht voneinander zu lösen.
-
-
-
Setze die Ecke eines Plektrums in den Spalt zwischen dem unteren Gehäuse und dem Rahmen ein.
-
Schiebe das Plektrum um die nächstgelegene Ecke und die Gehäuseseite bis zur Hälfte nach oben.
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.
-
-
-
Wiederhole den vorherigen Schritt auf der anderen Seite: Schiebe dein Plektrum unter das untere Gehäuse und an der Seite nach oben, um den zweiten Clip zu lösen.
-
-
-
Setze dein Plektrum erneut unter die Vorderkante des unteren Gehäuses, nahe bei einem der mittleren Schraubenlöcher.
-
Verdrehe das Plektrum kräftig, um den dritten Clip zu lösen, mit den das Gehäuseunterteil am Rahmen befestigt ist.
-
Wiederhole diese Vorgehensweise bei dem anderen mittleren Schraubenloch, um den vierten Clip zu lösen.
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.
-
-
-
Ziehe das Gehäuseunterteil kräftig nach vorne (weg von dem Bereich mit den Scharnieren), um die letzten Clips zu lösen, mit denen das Gehäuseunterteil befestigt ist.
-
Ziehe erst an der einen Ecke, dann an der anderen.
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.
-
-
-
Entferne das Gehäuseunterteil.
-
Positionere es entlang der Clips am Displayscharnier. Drücke es herunter und schiebe es Richtung Scharnier. Es sollte fest sein, wenn die Clips einrasten.
-
Wenn diese Clips eingerastet sind und das Gehäuseunterteil gerade auf dem Laptop liegt, drücke kräftig auf das Unterteil, damit die vier versteckten Clips einrasten können. Du solltest es hören und fühlen können, wenn sie einrasten.
-
-
-
Löse sorgfältig das große Stück Klebeband auf dem Akkustecker an der Kante des Logic Boards direkt beim Akku ab.
-
Entferne das Klebeband.
Please be VERY careful, I torn up my battery cable and had to replace all the battery.
-
-
-
Löse sorgfältig das kleine Stück Klebeband ab, das den Stecker des Datenkabels der Akkuplatine bedeckt.
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.
Ha, yep, me too, I just ripped it right off!

Benutze die Spudgerspitze, um die kleine schwarze Verriegelungslasche hochzuklappen, mit der das Kabel in seinem Stecker befestigt wird.
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?
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.
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.

-
-
Trenne das Datenkabel der Akkuplatine ab, indem du es aus seinem Anschluss schiebst.
-
Schiebe es parallel zum Logic Board, in der Richtung des Kabels.
-
-
-
Biege das Datenkabel der Akkuplatine zur Seite, sodass es nicht im Weg ist.
-
-
-
Benutze einen T5 Torx Schraubendreher, um die 3,7 mm Flachkopfschraube zu entfernen, mit der der Akkustromstecker befestigt ist.
-
-
-
Hebe den Akkustromverbinder vorsichtig mit einem Spudger an, und trenne so den Akku ab.
-
Hebe den Verbinder so hoch, dass er von seinem Anschluss getrennt bleibt. Falls er sich während der Reparatur versehentlich wieder verbindet, könnte das dein MacBook Pro beschädigen.
Dies ist kein Stecker sondern eine Kontaktplatte, die nur leicht angehoben werden muss. Dann am besten mit etwas Tesafilm isolieren.
(Translation for myself and others; Thanks for the nice tip by the way!) This is not a plug but a contact plate that only needs to be lifted slightly. Then it is best to isolate with some scotch tape.

Entferne die beiden 1,8 mm Torx T3 Schrauben, mit denen die Halterung am Stecker des Trackpadkabels befestigt ist.
-
-
In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:Tweezers$4.99
-
Entferne mit einer Pinzette die Halterung des Steckers am Trackpadkabel.
-
-
-
Hebe mit dem Spudger den Stecker am Trackpad-Flachbandkabel gerade vom Logic Board hoch und trenne das Flachbandkabel ab.
-
-
-
Erwärme einen iOpener und lege ihn etwa eine Minute lang auf das Trackpad-Flachbandkabel. Dadurch wird der Kleber aufgeweicht, mit dem das Flachbandkabel oben am Akku befestigt ist.
-
Wenn du keinen iOpener hast, kannst du das Kabel auch mit einem Haartrockner erwärmen. Das Kabel sollte warm sein, aber nicht so heiß, dass du es nicht mehr anfassen kannst. Überhitze den Akku auf keinen Fall.
-
-
-
Ziehe das Trackpad-Flachbandkabel behutsam vom Akku hoch und schiebe es aus dem Weg.
-
-
-
Entferne die zehn Torx T5 Schrauben, mit denen die Trackpadeinheit befestigt ist:
-
Zwei 4,3 mm Schrauben
-
Acht 5,8 mm Schrauben
-
-
-
Klappe das Display ein wenig auf, um an das Trackpad zu gelangen.
-
Führe das Trackpad-Flachbandkabel sorgfältig durch die Öffnung im Rahmen des MacBook Pro.
-
-
-
Entferne die Trackpadeinheit.
-
Verliere nicht die sechs kleinen Unterlegscheiben (zwei runde und vier eckige), die sich auf der Unterseite des Trackpads befinden.
-
-
-
Entferne die beiden 1,9 mm Torx T3 Schrauben von der Halterung des Tastatursteckers.
-
-
-
Trenne die Tastatur mit deinem Spudger ab, indem du ihren Stecker gerade vom Logic Board hebelst.
-
-
-
Entferne die beiden 2,9 mm T3 Torx Schrauben, die die Aluminiumabdeckung über dem Hauptdisplaykabel fixiert.
-
Entferne die Abdeckung.
One of these won't open, it means the screw is broken and it won't open with any screwdriver, what should I do?
-
-
-
Entferne die beiden 1,7 mm T3 Torx Schrauben, die die Aluminiumabdeckung über dem Anschluss fixieren.
-
Entferne die Abdeckung.
-
-
-
Entferne folgende Torx T3 Schrauben:
-
Die beiden 1,4 mm Schrauben von der Halterung des Thunderboltports auf der linken Seite.
-
Zwei weitere 1,4 mm Schrauben von der Halterung des Thunderboltports auf der rechten Seite.
If you are trying to replace the Thunderbolt port boards, you have to finish removing the entire logic board in order to get to the 2 screws holding each board in place. You can leave the battery and track pad in place though.
Apple used poor quality boards for the thunderbolt boards so they will definitely wear out over time. Make sure you replace them with metal boards and your USB C cable will click in nice and tight for a really long time.
-
-
-
-
Hebe den Stecker des linksseitigen Thunderboltports gerade vom Logic Board hoch und trenne ihn ab.
-
Drücke den Stecker vorsichtig zur Seite, so dass er beim Ausbau des Logic Boards nicht stört.
-
-
-
Wiederhole das Ganze für den Stecker des rechtsseitigen Thunderboltports. Hebele ihn von der Innenseite her hoch und schiebe ihn vorsichtig aus dem Weg.
-
-
-
Entferne die beiden 1,9 mm Torx T3 Schrauben von der Abdeckungshalterung, mit der die Stecker des Touch ID Sensors und der 3,5 mm Kopfhörerbuchse befestigt sind.
-
-
-
Heble das Flachbandkabel zur 3,5 mm Kopfhörerbuchse mit einem Spudger gerade vom Logic Board hoch und trenne es.
-
Drücke das Kabel behutsam zur Seite.
-
-
-
Heble das Flachbandkabel zur Einschalttaste und zum Touch ID Sensor gerade vom Logic Board hoch und trenne es ab.
-
-
-
Erweiche den Kleber unter dem Flachbandkabel zur Einschalttaste/Touch ID Sensor, indem du es mit einem iOpener, einem Haartrockner oder einem Heißluftgebläse leicht erwärmst.
-
-
-
Schiebe behutsam ein Plektrum unter das Flachbandkabel und löse es vom Logic Board ab. Drücke es vorsichtig zur Seite.
-
Wenn es zu schwer geht, darfst du keine Gewalt anwenden. Erwärme es nochmals ein wenig und probiere es erneut.
First let me thank you for this AMAZING guide which helped me a lot to achieve an almost successful battery replacement… I’m saying “almost” because, as you write in red letters, I wasn’t careful enough and my Touch ID cable got damaged.
Do you have any idea on how much should such a repair cost?
I know that only apple stores or authorized service providers can perform such a repair…
Thanks again!
Boy that’s a tough one :( It’s among the most problematic of all components to replace, because the fingerprint sensor is cryptographically paired to the logic board. The best option might be to get in touch with a skilled microsolderer and ask if they can take a look at the cable and try to repair the traces. Apart from that, the only options I’m aware of would be to pay Apple whatever they demand for a repair (no idea, but most likely a lot), or replace both the sensor and the entire logic board with another set that is already paired and undamaged. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!
Difficult though it may be, as a retired fixer, and amazed at the new tiny tiny parts, I am even more amazed at this new cooperative culture of fixers. The depth of helpful detail is amazing. The new environment of cheap special tools, and amazingly detailed hires pics is a powerful new repair meme. I used i-fixit for my first MBAir, but haven’t the skills for this, my current mac. But this addition, the carefully inserted comments of users, and the skills and cooperative attitude of you all, is quite amazing. And I watch and admire. Well done, you.
This cable has a metal plate that is PART OF THE CABLE. It is initially invisible, and can easily be mistaken for part of the logic board upon which it is adhered. As you begin to try to peel it up, make certain that your tool is also making its way beneath that integral thin metal plate. There are chip components that will delaminate from the cable if you attempt to lift it, or if your prying tool happens to not make it under the plate.

Entferne die 1,9 mm Torx T3 Schraube von der Halterung am Stecker des Touch Bar Digitizers.
-
-
-
Heble den Stecker des Touch Bar Digitizers mit dem Spudger gerade vom Logic Board hoch und trenne ihn ab.

Entferne die beiden 1,9 mm Torx T3 Schrauben von der Halterung am Stecker des Touch Bar Displays.
-
-
-
Heble den Stecker des Touch Bar Displays mit dem Spudger gerade vom Logic Board hoch und trenne ihn ab.
-
-
-
Ziehe eventuell vorhandenes Klebeband vom Anschluss des Mikrofonsteckers ab.
-
-
-
Klappe den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Verbinder des Mikrofonkabels hoch, indem du ihn gerade vom Logic Board hochhebelst.
-
-
-
Ziehe das Mikrofonkabel zurück - weg vom Lüfter - bis es aus seinem Anschluss herausrutscht.
-
Ziehe, wenn möglich, eher an dem angeklebten Band als am Kabel selbst.
-
-
-
Klappe den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Verbinder des linken Hochtöners hoch, indem du ihn gerade vom Logic Board hochhebelst.
-
-
-
Ziehe das Kabel zum Hochtöner hin, bis es aus dem Anschluss herausgleitet.
-
Ziehe, wenn möglich, eher an dem angeklebten Band als am Kabel selbst.
-
-
-
Ziehe eventuell vorhandenes Klebeband vom Anschluss des linken Lautsprechers ab.
For me, the main speaker tape on both sides tore loose, which is a real shame, because those are the two hardest to get back in - they're very short and stiff.
Important safety tip: On my laptop, the cables have two semicircular notches near the end. You can tell when they're fully-inserted when the notches are inside the connector.
-
-
-
Klappe den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Verbinder des linken Lautsprechers hoch, idem du ihn gerade vom Logic Board hochhebelst.
-
-
-
Ziehe das Kabel des linken Lautsprechers zum Hochtöner hin, bis es aus dem Anschluss herausgleitet.
-
Denke dran, dass du nach Möglichkeit nur am angeklebten Band ziehst, nicht am Kabel.
-
-
-
Wiederhole die vorherigen sechs Schritte, um den gegenüberliegenden Hochtöner und Lautsprecher auf der rechten Seite abzutrennen.
-
Fange damit an, eventuell vorhandenes Klebeband vom Stecker des Hochtöners abzuziehen.
This step seems redundant as those six steps get repeated in detail anyway after this step.
-
-
-
Klappe den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Verbinder des rechten Hochtöners hoch, indem du ihn gerade vom Logic Board hochhebelst.
-
-
-
Ziehe das Kabel zum Hochtöner hin, bis es aus dem Anschluss herausgleitet.
-
Denke dran, dass du nach Möglichkeit nur am angeklebten Band ziehst, nicht am Kabel.
-
-

Klappe den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Verbinder des rechten Lautsprechers hoch, indem du ihn gerade vom Logic Board hochhebelst.
-
-
-
Ziehe das Kabel des rechten Lautsprechers zum Hochtöner, bis es aus dem Anschluss herausgleitet.
-
-
In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:Tweezers$4.99
-
Heble das erste Antennenkabel gerade aus seinem Anschluss und trenne es.
-
Schiebe behutsam deine Pinzette oder das flache Ende des Spudgers unter das Kabel ganz nahe am Anschluss, verdrehe es dann ganz vorsichtig oder heble, bis sich das Kabel löst.
-
-
-
Wiederhole den vorhergehenden Schritt und löse auch die beiden restlichen Antennenkabel.
Reconnecting is very tricky. It doesn't take much force to push down, but the connectors have to be perfectly aligned. You won't really feel it snap into place, but it will stay put and resist wiggling.
Agreed, very tricky step. I found the two slightly longer leads easier to reattach. Then I used them as a visual guide to attach the small lead. It helped to slightly bend the lead. Glenn is correct, it doesn’t take much pressure to attach but the leads have to be perfectly aligned. Be careful if you test the fit, very easy to pry back off.
-
-
-
Entferne die 2,9 mm Torx T5 Schraube, mit der das Antennenkabelbündel befestigt ist.
-
-
-
Entferne die zehn Schrauben, mit denen die Logic Board Einheit befestigt ist:
-
Drei 2,5 mm Torx T3 Schrauben
-
Fünf 2,9 mm Torx T5 Schrauben
-
Zwei 3,0 mm Torx T5 Schrauben
2 missing t3 on left around the fan right side
Confirm, also, but those two Ty’s are next to the left fan if looking at the above picture, next to the metallic plate that also needs to be removed
-
-
-
Ziehe die beiden Vibrationssdämpfer aus Gummistreifen aus der Klebeverbindung zu den Lüftern hoch (aber entferne sie noch nicht).
-
Erwärme, falls nötig, den Kleber ein wenig mit einem iOpener, einem Haartrockner oder ein Heißluftgebläse, so dass der Kleber weich wird und sich die Dämpfer leichter ablösen lassen.
Mine had no adhesive on them at all. You only need to make sure they are loosened from the fan shroud. They come out with the logic board assembly.
-
-
-
Hebe zum Ausbau das Logic Board an der linken Seite hoch.
Wichtig !!
Vorher den Display Anschluß (hinten mitte) Abschrauben und lösen.
2x bleche mit jeweils 2 Scxhrauben
Ist nachgetragen. Danke!
What just happened… While I was removing the logic board one of the small black boxes from the bottom right just fell off. I am not sure but I think it is a capacitor - it says KO 336 16K 723. It just fell, I did not even touch this part… Maybe it was broken when I opened up the case in the beginning, but I did not notice it then.
Did I just break my laptop?
Translation
Important !!
First unscrew and loosen the display connection (rear center).
2x plates with 2 screws each
@Glendstone You are absolutely right. This is a key feature they forgot to explain.
The feedbacis has possibly already been addressed in step 27 as it was already fully disconnected when I got to this step.
-
-
-
Überprüfe die Ausrichtung der Vibrationsdämpfer aus Gummi und korrigiere sie, falls nötig.
-
Führe das Antennenkabelbündel durch die Lücke zwischen Logic Board und Kühlkörper und achte darauf, dass es korrekt ausgerichtet ist, wenn du das Logic Board absenkst.
-
Achte darauf, dass beim Einbau keine Kabel unter dem Board eingeschlossen werden. Überprüfe alle markierten Stellen ganz genau.
-
-
-
Entferne die beiden 3,2 mm Torx T5 Schrauben von der Akkuplatine.
Terrible time to lose screws, but that is exactly what ended up happening to me. I lost the battery board screws and ended up crazy glueing down.
-
-
-
Lege ein Stück Alufolie zwischen das Display und die Tastatur, um dein Display während der Reparatur zu schützen.
-
Benutze zusätzlich Klebeband und/oder Folie, um den Bereich unter dem Trackpad so gut wie möglich abzukleben. Du kannst außerdem eine Schicht saugfähiges Küchenpapier direkt unter den Bereich des Trackpads legen, um überschüssigen Klebstoffentferner aufzunehmen.
From here onward I just used the plastic cards provided without the adhesive. It just cut through the tape and took them off in 2-3 mins without any issue. I tried the floss and it just kept breaking and I didn't want to use the adhesive remover liquid if I could find another way. Using the cards was the best for me.
-
-
-
Schneide ein Stück Paket- oder Malerband ab und schiebe eine Kante zwischen den Akku und den linken Lautsprecher.
I didn’t have packing tape or painter’s tape so I tried to use some of the packing materials, but that was a bad idea. What ended up working for me was to elevate one side and used the plastic card to to direct the acetone away from the speaker. Worked a-ok.
I used 2" wide painter's tape in order to cover the speaker without needing to stick to the foam bits. Works great.
-
-
-
Drücke mit dem Spudger an der Kante des Klebebands entlang, so dass es fest am Aluminiumgehäuse des MacBooks Pro klebt und so den Lautsprecher vom Akku abdichtet.
-
Falte das Klebeband herum und klebe es leicht am Lautsprecher fest, so dass es nicht mehr im Weg ist.
-
-
-
Wiederhole die beiden vorhergehenden Schritte auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, um so den anderen Lautsprecher zum Akku abzudichten.
Note that no matter how well you tape off the speakers and elevate the sides of the laptop, there is not a lot of space between the battery and the speaker, and adhesive remover WILL wick under the speakers. Yay for capillary action, I guess? . . ..
-
-
-
Um den Fluss des Klebstoffentferners zu kontrollieren, solltest du die rechte Kante deines MacBook Pro auf einem Buch oder einem Schaumstoffblock ein paar Zentimeter erhöht abstützen.
The Fix Kit box is the perfect size for this job. I stuck a little packing tape from the metal case to the box to stop it accidentally sliding off.
-
-
-
Dein MacBook Pro ist nun optimal vorbereitet, jetzt bist du an der Reihe.
-
Trage bei der Verwendung des Klebstoffentferners eine Schutzbrille. (Im Kit ist eine Schutzbrille enthalten.)
-
Trage keine Kontaktlinsen ohne eine Schutzbrille.
-
In deinem Kit sind auch Schutzhandschuhe enthalten. Um deine Hände vor eventuellen Reizungen zu schützen, solltest du sie jetzt anziehen.
-
-
-
Ziehe den schwarzen Gummistopfen von dem Fläschchen mit Klebstoffentferner ab.
-
Schneide die verschlossene Applikatorspitze mit einer Schere ab.
-
Schneide die Spitze an der engen Stelle ab. Dadurch kannst du die Menge an Klebstoffentferner bei der Anwendung besser kontrollieren und kleinere Mengen auftragen.
-
-
-
Träufle einige Tropfen des Klebstoffentferners gleichmäßig unter die Akkuzelle ganz rechts.
-
Lasse den Klebstoffentferner zwei Minuten lang einwirken und den Kleber aufweichen, bevor du zum nächsten Schritt übergehst.
It REALLY IS strong solvent! I accidentally got some on the rubber strip between the battery and the logic board compartment and it peeled right off! I had to replace this with some spare rubber feet I had for another device.
-
-
In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:Plastic Cards$2.99
-
Nach ein paar Minuten kannst du die Ecke einer Kunststoffkarte unter die Akkuzelle ganz rechts schieben, fange dabei an der Vorderkante an.
-
Bewege die Karte hin und her und schiebe sie ganz unter der Akkuzelle entlang.
-
Hebe die Zelle an, um sie ganz vom Kleber zu lösen, aber entferne sie noch nicht.
-
Lasse vorläufig eine Kunststoffkarte unter der Akkuzelle stecken, damit sich der Kleber nicht wieder verbinden kann, während du mit dem nächsten Schritt weitermachst.
-
-
-
Wenn es dir schwer fällt, die Karte unter eine der Akkuzellen zu schieben, dann versuche ein Stück Nähgarn oder Draht unter der Akkuzelle entlang zu führen. Ziehe es mit einer sägenden Bewegung von Seite zu Seite und trenne den Kleber auf.
Bei der Entfernung der Akkus mit Zahnseide oder Maurerschnur jeden Akku seperat lösen.
Wie im Bild gezeigt von hinten einfädeln und dann zwischen den beiden Akkus nach vorne lösen.
Dabei die Zahnseide wie eine Säge nach rechts und Links bewegen.
Bei den kleineren Akkus sind die Klebestreifen von hinten nach vorne. Somit ist das auch die Richtung wie man sie einfach lösen kann.
Der Mittlere Akku ist von links nach rechts verklebt. Somit sollte man dort die Richtung ändern.
Danke für die Erläuterungen!
Translation (Google) : When removing the batteries with dental floss or masonry cord, loosen each battery separately. Thread it in from the back as shown in the picture and then release it to the front between the two batteries. Move the floss to the right and left like a saw. On the smaller batteries, the adhesive strips are from back to front. So this is also the direction how to solve them easily. The middle battery is glued from left to right. So you should change direction there.
-
-
-
Wiederhole die letzten paar Schritte, um auch die Akkuzelle ganz links abzulösen.
-
Hebe zunächst die linke Seite des MacBooks Pro an, so dass der Klebstoffentferner vom Lautsprecher wegfließt.
-
-
-
Träufle etwas Klebstoffentferner unter die Akkuzelle ganz links und lasse ihn etwa zwei Minuten lang einwirken.
-
-
-
Schiebe eine Ecke einer Plastikkarte unter die Akkuzelle ganz links und schneide behutsam die Klebeverbindung auf.
-
Lasse die Karte vorläufig unter der Zelle stecken, damit sich der Kleber nicht wieder verbinden kann.
-
-
-
Hebe die rückseitige Kante des MacBooks an, so dass der Klebstoffentferner von der Tastatur/ dem Logic Board wegfließt.
-
-
-
Träufle etwas Klebstoffentferner unter jede der drei noch verbliebenen Akkuzellen.
-
Achte auf eventuelle Lecks und träufle in den folgenden Schritten noch etwas mehr vom Klebstoffentferner hinein, falls nötig.
-
Lasse den Klebstoffentferner etwa zwei Minuten lang einwirken, bevor du weiterarbeitest.
-
-
-
Schiebe eine Plastikkarte komplett unter der Akkuzelle ganz links entlang - die du ja im vorigen Schritt schon abgelöst hast - und schiebe sie dann sorgfältig zwischen der anderen linken Akkuzelle und dem Aluminiumgehäuse des MacBooks Pro ein.
-
-
-
Trenne die letzte Akkuzelle links mit der Plastikkarte ganz ab.
-
Lasse die Plastikkarte vorläufig stecken, damit die linksseitigen Akkuzellen nicht wieder festkleben.
-
-
-
Wiederhole die vorhergehenden beiden Schritte und löse die letzte Akkuzelle rechts ab.
-
-
-
Schiebe die Ecke einer Plastikkarte unter die Oberkante der großen mittleren Akkuzelle.
-
Bewege die Karte wackelnd hin und her, wobei du sie unter die Akkuzelle schiebst und den Kleber darunter aufschneidest.
I broke one of the plastic bits on the top left corner of where the middle battery sits. You'll know it when you see it. Snapped clean off.
Careful with that card.
-
-
In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:Tweezers$4.99
-
Entferne den Akku.
-
Bevor du den neuen Akku einbauen kannst, musst du erst alle Kleberreste vom Gehäuse des MacBooks entfernen.
-
Ziehe alle Reste von Klebestreifen mit einer Pinzette oder der Hand (mit Handschuhen) ab.
-
Schabe größere Ansammlungen von Klebstoff mit einem Plastiköffnungswerkzeug ab und reinige darunterliegende Bereiche mit Klebstoffentferner oder Isopropylalkohol. Wische nur in eine Richtung (nicht hin und her), bis der Rahmen sauber und für deinen neuen Akku gut vorbereitet ist.
-
Wenn du fertig bist, dann entferne behutsam das schützende Klebeband von den Lautsprechern.
-
-
In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:Tesa 61395 Tape$12.99
-
Denke an das Akkudatenkabel und achte darauf, dass es nicht durch die Akkuplatine eingeklemmt wird oder sich darunter verfängt.
-
Wenn dein Ersatzakku auf der Unterseite mit Klebestreifen versehen ist, dann drehe ihn herum und ziehe die Schutzfolie ab, so dass die Klebeflächen freigelegt werden. Wenn keine Klebestreifen auf dem Akku sind, dann bringe dünnes doppelseitiges Klebeband an, so wie Tesa 61395 und befestige damit den Akku.
-
Richte den Akku sorgfältig aus.
-
Drücke und halte jede Akkuzelle 5-10 Sekunden lang fest, damit sie gut am unteren Gehäuse hält.
Step 88 is a bit . . . . sparse. “Carefully position the battery and set it into place.“ Ha! Be prepared for mass amounts of swearing (and I don’t usually swear). iFixIt sends you a battery that has the adhesive strips covered with one long very thick piece of plastic. And by “battery” I mean five discreet sections held together with thin ribbon cables that make the entire thing as wriggly as a toddler and as unstable as my girlfriend in college. If you take it off the thick plastic and try to maneuver the battery into its very specific places while the battery’s strong adhesive strips stick to everything but what it should you will rue the day. Rue, I tell you! I cut the top piece of thinner plastic into three sections (middle, left side, right side) so I was able to place one section at a time, and it made it much easier (well, “much” may be a stretch. How about, “only slightly less-sweary”).
I feel sorry for Wayne though happy for his comment. I got my battery pack delivered with 5 separate plastic covers on the adhesive strips under, and one long plastic sheet holding the five parts together at the top. Thanks to the latter, I could easily position the 5-pack, remove the cover from the bottom parts one by one, and the holding sheet at last.
Thank you Wayne and thank you iFixit :-)
Thank YOU for this comment to Wayne because I too was confused about the purpose and proper use of the aligning plastic and adhesive pads. I originally thought it was meant to be the tape/pads to hold the new battery in place in the macbook, albeit they were a lot thicker and the way they were arranged etc made no sense for how to use it that way. Once I read your comment it all made sense and with the addition of some 3M double-sided I was all set. Thanks Paul!
If you think you might one day do this again, do not use the whole glued area, unless you want to go through the (excruciating) process of removing the battery again.
Just went through this procedure the second time about 3 years after I did this the first time. When I installed the first replacement battery, I only used ~15-20% of the glued area on the battery to "loosely" stick it to the macbook body and placed some small foam pieces at the top (between the battery and the bottom cover) to help hold the battery in place. Had no problem using the macbook or with the battery, and what I had done in the first replacement made my second run extremely easier.
Definitely cut up the brittle blue plastic into three pieces without of course cutting battery connection strips. It makes a job a lot easier! I just wish that Ifixit put that blue plastic on the other side of a battery facing the installer. And made indentations in it for easy removal after attaching the battery to the lower case

Amazing, Thanks
does this also work for the 2018 model?
Why do you remove the logic board? There are videos on youtube that demonstrate that there is no need to remove the logic board or the trackpad to replace the battery ...
no need to remove the logic board .
Cosmin -
Just finished replacing - stopped at step 23 after removing the Track Pad. Did not have to remove Logic Board. You don’t even need to remove the Track Pad, but because of the glue on the center cell, it’s probably a good idea and a pretty easy step to keep Track Pad safe when prying the cell off the case. It does take a bit of careful “jiggling” to remove the old battery and to slide the new one under the LB, but IMO definitely much (MUCH!) easier than removing all of the components after step 23.
Vadique -
I just replaced my battery without removing the board. However that requires a dangerous wiggle dance to run the battery controller ribbon cables under the mainboard without breaking them.
For anyone attempting this: first slide the left corner in by angling the whole battery pack so that it goes in. Arrange the battery packs but don’t glue them in yet. For the right corner, angle the mainboard’s battery connector straight up to keep it out of the way and then carefully bend the ribbon cable almost vertically to slide it in between the mainboard and the case. I’ve used the pick to carefully push it in along its length from left to right.
When Eugene says the RIGHT side, is that the right side as you look down on the battery or that actual right side of the computer?

The instructions are missing one step: Disconnecting the display cable. It is located in the top center. If you look closely in the images, the cable is still connected in step 19 but then it is disconnected in step 39 (on the top-left at the very edge of the picture you see half of the loose cable. The disconnected cable is fully visible in the picture for step 58)

i have an issue with a macbook pro 13 2018
battery condition: replace now
cycle count 2
charge remaining (mAh) 0
full charge capacity (mAh) 5169
amperage (mA) 0
voltage (mV) 4330,
battery is not charging
does any one know how to solve this ?
is there a way to charge the battery disconected from the mainboard? like jump start
i think that thr battery is under the charging designated voltage and the macbook does not charge it due to this low voltage.
the laptop is new , was not used from 2018!
tried smc resset and it does not work
thank u
I have a similar problem, I have a 2017 MB Pro with TouchBar 4ports with the problem of the battery not exceeding 1%, and this is the second original battery from apple, the second battery lasted about 40 charge cycles ... now out of guarantees and campaigns, I had to change the battery for a non-original one. I opted for a SLODA (which comes with everything you need and looks pretty good). Once changed successfully following this guide, the macbook boots on battery, but there is no way to get the battery to charge with the original charger...it detected it at 80% charge, the mac detects the original charger, giving all the information on the charger and power, but in none of the 4 USB-C ports does the battery charge. Even trying 2 different Mac chargers I am able to get it to charge. Next week I will try another brand of battery, but it gives me that the motherboard of my macbook pro 2017 with 4 ports is damaged. It is not normal that the 2nd battery replaced by apple lasted only 40 cycles. Greetings and THX

Followed each of the steps and the battery install was successful but now I’ve lost the mic and the touchbar. I’ve gone back and removed and reattached the connections with no luck. Any ideas?
Excellent and very detailed guide. I did this on the mid 2018 model and had no problems. However, I must note that removing the logic board is not needed to remove the battery. saves a lot of work if once you remove the trackpad, you just skip to battery removal.
Wunderbar, danke, erfolgreich ausgeführt. Auch ohne das Logic Board auszubauen, nur das TrackPad musste raus. Etwas schwierig die Leitungen unter das Board zu schieben beim Einbau des Akkus…vielleicht auch eine kleine Gefahr der Beschädigung der Leitungen vorhanden, hat aber gut geklappt und spart sehr viel Arbeitsschritte
Success - the patient is alive and well! The instructions are awesome. I did all 88 steps forward and back. Allowed me to avoid the chance of getting adhesive remover on the circuit card or in the trackpad. I also took the opportunity to clean any dust off the fans, logic board, and inside the case. In surgery for 5 hours but spent time cleaning all the adhesive from the battery compartment. Did not have the iOpener so heated a metal bar with my heat gun and applied that. Those antenna connectors were tough to go back on (tough to align to get them to snap - and I’ve used them before on other projects). All features related to connectors removed and reapplied seem to work perfectly.
Success too! I was very nervous during all the process. Took me around 3 hours and two mugs of coffee.
My old battery had vastly inflated (over 2cm thick). With patience I got rid of the Apple's glue and stickers.
Everything is working like a charm now: bluetooth, wifi, trackpad, touchbar, fingerprint, audio, mic.
Thank you so much for your guide!
PS: I also do not understand why I needed to remove the logic board but it needed de-dusting anyway!
Like Cosmin and Vadique, I decided not to remove the logic board. Instead, I stopped at step 27 and removed the 10 logic board screws that allowed me to lift the logic board enough to sneak the PCB in between the raised aluminum case and the logic board. Like I also mentioned in step 11, be very careful with the battery data connector. It is very easy to damage (ummm, or so I’ve heard . . .) and this repair could make your laptop tethered to a charger for the rest of its life. How I managed to sneak it back into place after breaking it off is a mystery to me.
At step 30, 33, and 63, I ended up using a T4 Torx screwdriver instead of a T3 since it was slipping on the screws. Other than that, it was an amazing guide.
I can see why you wouldn’t have to remove the logic board but it did make things easier at the end when that was out of the way.
I just finished my 2017 MBP retina with touch bar, I couldn’t remove the LB because one of the Torx screws was stripped. I was able to slip the battery under the LB, add the trackpad back, and put everything back together. Much easier than removing all of the components, however a bit more risk. Btw, drain your battery before removing it, mine started sparking and I thought it was going to catch on fire … oops.
Isn’t the display cable removal missing? I followed this guide a few time and every time I forgot to unscrew it. It is highlighted in step 66, though.
I followed this guide exactly, except for removing the logic board, which is unnecessary. The new battery I purchased from iFixit, and I used the kit from iFixit, which we used on a previous battery replacement in a 2015 MacBook Pro. Everything went extremely well like before, just over 2 hours for something that was nearly impossible in the past without iFixit.
However, I boot it up and macOS says the new battery from iFixit needs service and is not charging. The Mac system report shows it’s a new battery with zero cycle count, so I get Coconutbattery for more details. Coconutbattery says the “new” battery is actually 1619 days old, manufactured in 2017, and current charge capacity is 50.8% of design capacity!
Wow, the part I bought from iFixit is actually worse than the old one I spent over 2 hours replacing. I sent an urgent, frustrated email to support asking what they are going to do, because our customer needs this back ASAP. We’re going to have to do it again at no charge.
Excellent guide, I was able to complete the repair without drama, thank you!
This was a lot of work but paid off handsomely. Happy to say everything worked when I put it all back together. On the whole this guide is amply detailed and well-illustrated!
I’d recommend repeating the link to the swollen battery instructions in step 8. I missed it in the intro and my battery was swollen enough to pop the center and side clips while I was removing the pentalobe screws in step 2. (Fortunately the guide as-is advised enough caution that I didn’t get in trouble!) I’d also recommend moving the warning about the trackpad washers ahead to step 22. It was at that point that one of the circular washers went MIA on me, before I realized there were washers. The third image in step 66 was highly valuable in making sure all the cables were in the right place before screwing down the logic board!
To keep the screws organized I screen-grabbed all the images of screw locations and printed them 4-up and covered the screw locations with double-sided tape to hold the screws as I removed them.
Sorry Leute, aber ich verstehe den Aufwand nicht, den ihr da treibt. Ich habe heute so einen Akku erfolgreich getauscht und musste nur das Kabel des Trackpads lösen. Der ganze restliche Bohai ist unnötig! Und auch das Lösungsmittel kann man sich sparen, wenn man den Akku mit einem breiten Spatel langsam löst.
Perfect both the product and the instructions. Thanks so much.
Perfect both the product and the instructions. Thanks so much.
Just finished the battery surgery on my 2017 MB Pro 13" Touch Bar. I elected to not use the liquid adhesive remover and thus did not bother to remove the logic board. As others said, get to step 23 and then skip ahead to removing the battery. I used one of the plastic cards included in the kit to fairly easily separate the battery from the adhesive. The key is to push the card through the adhesive and to not try to pry the battery away from the adhesive. For the logic board, I simply removed all the screws that secure it to the chassis so that it could be slightly lifted to pass the battery connector into place.
Completed the replacement of my battery. Tried to turn it on and only the right fan was on super loud. I have no idea what happened or what to do.
Just finished replacing the battery. I stopped after step 21, so didn't remove the trackpad. And continued with step 69. I removed most of the Logic Board screws to be able to lift the LB a bit to get the battery out and replace it with the new one. It took some time to remove the batteries and I used alcohol 70%. For the battery in the middle I didn't use alcohol because the trackpad was still underneath. Instead I used two plastic cards, the bottom one to protect the trackpad and the top one to "jiggle'' through the glue. I'm aware I took more risks than when you follow all steps of this very good instruction. My compliments to the iFiXiT team and thanks for the translation of Thomas Keulemans.
I follow step by step, plus an ammendment published by @Glendstone on Step 62, and at the moment, everything worked o.k.
Ich habe auch das Logic Board drin gelassen. Lediglich beim Einfädeln der Flachbandkabel zwischen einem sinnfreien Plastikklotz oberhalb des Trackpads hatte ich Probleme. In diesem Moment muss man bereits mit den neuen, klebrigen Batterien jonglieren, die für diesen Moment eben noch nicht irgendwo festkleben dürfen. Dazu war es hilfreich, die Schrauben des Logic Boards (vom Trackpad gesehen aus zu den Lüftern) zu entfernen, damit man etwas mehr Spielraum zum Unterschieben der Kabel hat.
Ansonsten: Prima Anleitung! Der Klebstoffentferner ist wirklich SEHR wirksam. Vorsicht beim Verteilen. Das kleine Flaschen "spuckt" gerne. Eine kleine Spritze zu benutzen ist jedoch eine noch weniger gute Idee. Besser ein Wattestäbchen tränken und dies im mehren Schritten an den richtigen Stellen auspressen.
Excelent guide and replacement went smoothly (Took me about 1.5 hours because I did it without removing the motherboard). Until I turned the machine and the ssd is not detected, not even in recovery mode. I dont know what to do so any help will be greatly appreciated
If you left the mobo screwed down there isnt much to troubleshoot. Just check all of the cables around the perimeter of the device, 2 of the corners of the laptop have dual ribbon cable connections underneath each other. Make sure the ribbon connection on top of the battery "connecting plate"(held down by a large head screw), is there and screwed down all the way.
Just finished to reinstall, everything run fine except that the new battery status is "fully charged" but the computer shutdown when I unplug the USB-C cable, no battery icon in the toolbar either.
I just followed this document on replacing the battery as well as the type-c charging ports on both sides of a Macbook A1706 2017 with Touch bar. I've always bought the replacement ports from amazon, and I've never gotten one complaint. After installation the "snap" you feel/hear when you plug in a charger feels and sounds like a quality part. As always, this "How-to" guide was stellar, and I followed it to a "T". Replacing battery & both charging ports took me 3.25 hours total, which is an hour more than I estimated!
I own a PC repair business, and I quickly learned that when doing repairs on Apple products you need to have a large screw/parts organizer WITH LABELS or else you're going to really screw up someone's device! I really hate fixing Apple products, but SO THANKFUL I have IFIXIT guides like this to reference.
Huge thanks from Carrollwood Computers ~Tampa Bay Area
Stopped after completing step 20. Then, when installing battery just followed what Eugene Pankov mentioned looking down at the battery. Easy-peasy. Used only the screwdriver, tweezers, glue removal card, one guitar pick, 4 q-tip and acetone for clean up from the kit. The old adhesive removal took the longest to do slowly removing with the tweezers. Then using some acetone on the q-tip to remove any leftover foam adhesive.
Yes, definitely no need to remove the logic board on the 2017 MBP 13" two TB port model. Just jump to step 67 after step 23. Though technically, I just warmed up the palm rest with a hair dryer and used a card to cut away the adhesive.
I did a dry fit of the new battery to make sure it was charging ok and check it's health before I affixed it. I thought I had a dud because it read 0% and the machine wouldn't power up.
Don't be a dobbin like me and forget to reconnect the battery board data cable disconnected in step 12. In my case it was still attached to the old battery. All good once I transferred it over. Phew!
After completing the repair myself, I can confirm that it can be done without removing the motherboard and I worked until step 23. However, getting the cable under the logic board does take some attention. I held the battery at nearly a 90 degree angle and started with one corner of the ribbon, and slid it under the board, then worked the other corner while using a pry tool to wedge it in there. If you use too much force, you could definitely tear the cable but this saved me hours of work and it was a success.
Just went through this procedure the second time about 3 years after I did this the first time. Didn't have to remove the motherboard, both times, like others said.
What made my second run extremely easier was not having glued the battery completely to the macbook body when I did this job the first time, as getting the original one off was excruciatingly painful and I didn't want to repeat that. When I installed the first replacement battery, I only used ~15-20% of the glued area on the battery to "loosely" stick it to the macbook body and placed some small foam pieces at the top (between the battery and the bottom cover) to help hold the battery in place. Had no problem with the battery (until it intrinsically went bad and I had to replace it today, of course).
Thanks, amazing work. And special thanks to the people who suggested that the logic board could stay. I went this way and even if ent ring the battery takes some patience, I think it was better than removing all the other parts. Now back to be able to use my MacBook with decent battery charge!
Thank you for the guide (und die deutsche Übersetzung!),
I completed the whole thing including the removal of the logic board with the A1706, 13inch touchbar 2017. I just used it as an opportunity to renew thermal paste and give everything a deep clean including the fans which can easily be removed too when the logic board is out already.
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 - Antwort
@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.

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 - Antwort
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.

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

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 - Antwort
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.

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 istrue- and then to change it,sudo nvram auto-boot=falsewhich 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
