MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar Late 2016 Display Assembly Replacement

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."

Use a P5 Pentalobe driver to remove the six screws securing the lower case:

• Two 6.2 mm screws
• Four 3.4 mm screws

Apply a suction handle to the lower case near the front-center area of the MacBook Pro.

Lift the suction handle to create a slight separation between the lower case and the chassis.

Insert one corner of an opening pick into the space between the lower case and the chassis.

Slide the opening pick around the nearest corner and halfway up the side of the case.

• This releases the first of the hidden clips securing the lower case to the chassis. You should feel and hear the clip pop free.

Repeat the previous step on the opposite side, sliding your opening pick under the lower case and up the side to pop the second clip free.

Insert your opening pick once again under the front edge of the lower case, near one of the two centermost screw holes.

Give the pick a firm twist to pop free the third clip securing the lower case to the chassis.

Repeat this procedure near the other of the two centermost screw holes, popping the fourth clip free.

Pull the lower case firmly towards the front of the MacBook (away from the hinge area) to separate the last of the clips securing the lower case.

• It may help to pull first at one corner, then the other. In case you aren't able to separate the clip from the lower case you can apply a suction cup next to the corner with the clip and carefully use it as a pulling handle.

Remove the lower case.

Carefully peel up the large piece of tape covering the battery connector, on the edge of the logic board nearest the battery.

Remove the tape.

Gently peel back the small piece of tape covering the battery board data cable connector.

• The tape is integrated into the ribbon cable and will not detach completely. Simply peel it back enough to access the connector.

Use the tip of a spudger to flip up the small black locking tab securing the cable in its connector.

Disconnect the battery board data cable by sliding it out from its socket.

Slide parallel to the logic board, in the direction of the cable.

Fold the battery board data cable to the side and out of the way.

Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the 3.7 mm pancake screw securing the battery power connector.

Use a spudger to gently lift the battery power connector, disconnecting the battery.

Lift the connector high enough so that it stays separated from its socket. If it accidentally makes contact during the course of your repair, it could damage your MacBook Pro.

Remove the four 1.9 mm T3 Torx screws securing the plastic covers on top of the display hinges.

Remove the two plastic covers in the left and right corner of the Macbook with a pair of tweezers.

Remove the aluminium cover with a pair of tweezers.

Use the flat end of a spudger to carefully disconnect the display cable.

Remove the four 1.5 mm T3 Torx screws securing the two aluminum covers on top of the two display cable connectors.

Use a pair of tweezers to remove the two aluminium covers.

Remove the four 3.9 mm T5 Torx screws on both sides, which secure the antenna cable assembly.

Also remove the twelve 1.1 mm P2 screws on both sides.

Use a pair of tweezers to disconnect the three coax cables from the main board.

Remove the 2.8 mm T5 Torx screw securing the three coax cables to the main board.

Use an opening pick to lever out the antenna cable assembly in three separate actions.

• Do not slide the opening pick from one side to the other because there are two display cables that can be damaged.

Insert the opening pick beneath the right side of the antenna cable assembly and lever it out. Pull it out and repeat the procedure in the middle between the two display cables. Repeat once more on the left side of the assembly.

Carefully start removing the antenna cable assembly by pulling it slightly upwards and away from the MacBook.

• You'll be pulling the three coax cables beneath the heat pipe. Be careful not to damage them nor the heat pipe.

Remove the antenna cable assembly.

Remove the four 3.9 mm T3 Torx screws securing the spring hinges of the two display cables.

Grab the left side of the display cable assembly and pull it towards the bottom end of the MacBook and away from the spring hinge.

Use a pair of tweezers to pull the spring hinge of the display cable out of its bracket.

Repeat this step with the right spring hinge of the display cable assembly.

While holding the display with your left hand remove the three T9 Torx screws from the upper display bracket.

Remove the remaining three T9 Torx screws from the lower display bracket.

Grab the display with your left hand and rotate it slightly clockwise, toward the upper case, so the display brackets clear the edge of the upper case.

Tilt the display slightly away from the upper case.

Pull the display away from the upper case, minding any brackets or cables that may get caught.
