Introduction: Hi, Simon here! Today, I’m excited to share with you a detailed guide on upgrading your MacBook Pro 2015. We’re going to cover everything from replacing the LCD screen and keyboard to changing the battery and transferring the entire motherboard. It’s a comprehensive process, but I’ll guide you through each step.
What You’ll Need:
- Pentalobe P5 screwdriver
- Torx T4 and T8 screwdrivers
- Phillips screwdriver
- Replacement parts (LCD screen, keyboard, battery – links in the description)
- Patience and precision!
Step-by-Step Process:
- Removing the Back Plate: Using the Pentalobe P5 screwdriver, remove all the screws from the back plate of your MacBook. Once done, lift the backplate to expose the internals.
- Disconnecting the Battery: Before proceeding, disconnect the battery to ensure a safe working environment. It’s clipped onto the motherboard and can be gently pried off.
- Removing Components:
- Start by removing the hard drive, sliding it out at a 45-degree angle.
- Disconnect various cables (keyboard, speaker, LCD, etc.) by gently lifting them up or sliding them out.
- Remove the CPU fan and heatsink.
- Carefully unscrew and lift the motherboard.
- LCD Screen Replacement: If you’re replacing the LCD screen, remove the six screws around the hinges using a T8 screwdriver, and gently detach the screen.
- Keyboard Replacement: The keyboard is part of the full assembly, including the battery. You’ll need to transfer all components from the old keyboard assembly to the new one.
- Reassembling:
- Start by placing the new keyboard assembly (with the battery) in position.
- Reattach the motherboard, ensuring all cables are correctly positioned and reconnected.
- Install the CPU fan and heatsink.
- If you replaced the LCD, attach the new screen by aligning and screwing the hinges back in place.
- Final Steps:
- Reconnect the battery and ensure all components are securely in place.
- Carefully place the backplate and screw it back on.
