  • Identify the Model: Confirm the model number (e.g., A2337).
  • Use a P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver: Remove the screws from the back cover.
  • Organize Screws: Take a picture of the screw layout and place screws on a printed copy to keep track of their positions.
  • Remove the Back Cover: Use your fingernail or a plastic tool to gently pry it open.

3. Disconnecting the Battery

  • Locate the Battery Connector: Flip up the clip holding the battery connector.
  • Disconnect the Battery: Pull the connector straight up to disconnect the battery.

4. Removing the Old Screen

  • Remove Wi-Fi and Display Connectors: Use a T3 Torx screwdriver to remove screws and disconnect cables.
  • Remove the Wi-Fi Antenna: Use a plastic prying tool to gently lift the antenna.
  • Unscrew the Hinges: Use a T8 Torx screwdriver to remove the screws holding the screen hinges.
  • Remove the Screen: Gently wiggle and slide the screen out of the base.

5. Installing the New Screen
