  44. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 44、 1の画像 1

    • De-route the trackpad cable through its slot cut into the upper case.

  45. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 45、 1の画像 1
    • Pull the trackpad away from the outer edge of the upper case.

    • Remove the trackpad and set it aside.

  46. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 46、 1の画像 1
    • In the following steps, you will be working on your new upper case.

    • Use a T6 Torx screwdriver to loosely install the 1.1 mm set screw included with your new upper case into its tapped hole near the middle of the trackpad opening on your new upper case.

    • Only tighten it about one turn for now.

  47. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 47、 2の画像 1 MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 47、 2の画像 2
    • Carefully insert the cable from your old trackpad through its slot cut into your new upper case.

    • Use one hand to hold the trackpad cable in place as you insert the two retaining tabs on the outer edge of the trackpad under the lip on the upper case.

    • Pull the trackpad cable as you seat the trackpad into its void in your new upper case.

  48. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 48、 1の画像 1
    • Insert a 1.2 mm Phillips screw into each of the outer holes drilled into the trackpad (two screws total).

    • You'll install the rest in a bit.

    • Tighten the screws, then back them out about a quarter turn to aid in aligning your trackpad during the next few steps.

  49. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 49、 1の画像 1
    • While continually trying to click your trackpad, gently tighten the T6 Torx set screw until the clicks return to their factory "feel."

    • You can tell when the screw is tightened just right by the noise it makes when the trackpad clicks. If the set screw is too loose, the trackpad will have excessive play before it clicks. If it is too tight, the trackpad will click too easily and won't make the characteristic loud mouse clicking noise.

  50. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 50、 1の画像 1
    • Next, flip your upper case over so the keyboard side is facing up.

    • Align the trackpad so it is centered in its hole cut into the upper case.

  51. MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Upper Case Replacement: 手順 51、 1の画像 1
    • Tighten the outer two screws along the inner edge of the trackpad and check the alignment of it on the outer side of the upper case.

    • If its alignment looks good, install the rest of the Phillips screws along the inner edge of the trackpad.

    • Before reassembling your machine, verify that the set screw is still installed in a position so the mouse will click correctly.

Just replaced my top case on my MBP late 2011. Thanks for this guide, it's excellent and made the repair easy.

Thank you for this. I was able to replace my top case in my 2011 mac book pro. There’s life left in her yet.

Just did this, but now my display remains dark. I have opened up the case and reseated the display data cable connector. The display is still black. Anything else I might have done wrong?

Dominik Hoffmann - 返信

I mean, is there a particular connector I would want to look at, other than the display data cable connector. I do not have a functional block diagram to see, whether the computer has a separate connector carrying power to the backlight.

Dominik Hoffmann - 返信

I think, I know what I did wrong. The display data cable connector has an integrated foam shield on top of it and the display data cable lock bracket. When reassembling, I must have forced the lock bracket over the foam shield in such a way that it put strain on the connector, thereby making it not mate properly. The solution was to feed the foam shield through the bracket, so that it was above it, when I inserted the connector.
