What happened to the very concise step by step produced by iFixit for the 2016, 15” MBP touch Bar.? Why was it taken down?? This new video. while informative doesn’t compare to the multi step picture guide that was removed. Can someone answer this?
I took a short piece of scotch tape and “bundled” the 3 cables together. I kept The screw loop out of the taped bundle. I was able to push the bundle thru the hole including the loop. Using tweezers helped grab the bunch and pull them thru.
This smaller connector cable of the touch ID sensor that sits underneath the power sensor connector is easy to overlook when replacing the logic board. It is small & short and can easily hide. Make sure you account for it when placing the LB in and before screwing it down.
I can corroborate MikeG1’s comment. My battery came without the long data cable as well. I had to remove it from the fried battery. Plastic lock tab mechanism on the ZIF connector is smaller. My inspection microscope helped to transfer the cable to the new battery board. Thanks Mike!
At this point I Jump to step 30 . I do not use the liquid adhesive remover method. I use a silicone rubber kitchen food scooper. The scoop end is a soft, silicone rubber material with a beveled edge. The handle is a hard plastic. This tool I’ve used in about 50 retina battery swaps. No floss, credit cards or metal spatulas for me.. The angle of the ends and the rubber pliability combined with the hard plastic handle is ideal. After a few repairs you will get better at it. Be careful when applying pressure or leveraging to get between battery and base. You don’t want to slip & “overshoot” the scoop end into the logic board. EASY DOES IT…Save yourself the mess of applying the liquid. I can remove a battery in 10 minutes. Here’s the link to this tool that I found in my GF’s kitchen:
Adam Graham’s observation notes a critical missed step in this walk-thru! The display cable needs to be separated from the LB before removing the LB. These steps are noted in the Display replacement walk thru(Steps 17 & 18) for this model. Thank you Adam for catching this! I suggest that the creator of this walk thru add that important missing step to this guide.
Thank you iFixit for your invaluable Mac repair walk throughs. They have given me an immense wealth of knowledge and experience which has given me the confidence to establish myself as a competent, successful Mac Laptop & desktop repair person!
I mark each cable tip with a different colored sharpie and then take a Pic. This gives me the order and the angle of orientation in order to reconnect these pesky connectors.
No, you are mistaken . Step 23 was for the LEFT speaker. Anthony is correct stating that right speaker disconnect is missing from this guide. NOW is the time to disconnect the right speaker from the LB!

Do not pull from the cables end. you will risk separating thin cables from connector head. Use spudger tip to push it out.

Both had a dab of glue underneath. I used heat gun to loosen.
