Intro:
Agar aapke MacBook Pro ki screen loose ho rahi hai, ya right side se open-close karte waqt click sound ya wobble feel hota hai, toh right clutch hinge damage ho sakta hai. Is guide mein hum dekhenge kaise is hinge ko safely replace karte hain.
🧰 Tools You’ll Need:
Phillips #00 screwdriver
T6 Torx screwdriver
Spudger
Plastic opening tool
Tweezers (optional)
⚠️ Safety First:
MacBook ko shutdown karo aur power cable unplug karo.
Anti-static surface ya cloth pe kaam karo.
Battery disconnect karna zaroori hai to avoid short circuits.
📋 Step-by-Step Instructions:
🔹 Step 1: Bottom Case Remove Karo
MacBook ko ulta rakho.
Neeche ke 10 Phillips screws nikaalo (3 long screws hinge ke paas hote hain).
Bottom panel ko gently lift karke side mein rakh do.
🔹 Step 2: Battery Disconnect Karo
Spudger ka use karke battery connector ko logic board se disconnect karo.
Ye step safety ke liye mandatory hai.
🔹 Step 3: Display Assembly Remove Karne Ki Tayari
iSight (camera), display data cable, aur airport antenna cables ko disconnect karo.
Hinges ke paas ke T6 Torx screws ko bhi remove kar do.
🔹 Step 4: Display Assembly Remove Karo
Hinges ke screws remove karne ke baad display assembly ko carefully body se separate karo.
Is step mein MacBook screen aur base alag ho jaate hain.
🔹 Step 5: Clutch Cover Hatayein
Screen ke bottom pe jo clutch cover hota hai (metallic strip), usse plastic opening tool se gently pry karke remove karo.
Dhyan rahe: Ye cover delicate hota hai — gently handle karo.
🔹 Step 6: Right Clutch Hinge Remove Karo
Right hinge ke screws remove karo using T6 screwdriver.
Hinge ko gently slide karke nikaal lo.
🔹 Step 7: New Hinge Install Karo
Naya hinge ko same jagah pe fit karo.
Screws se secure karo.
Make sure hinge smooth move ho raha hai — na zyada tight, na loose.
🔹 Step 8: Clutch Cover Wapas Lagao
Cover ko dhyan se place karo aur gently press karo jab tak fit ho jaaye.
🔹 Step 9: Display Assembly Reinstall Karo
Display ko MacBook base ke sath align karo.
Hinges ke screws, data cable, aur camera cable wapas connect karo.
🔹 Step 10: Battery Reconnect & Bottom Case Close Karo
Battery connector ko fir se logic board se jodo.
Bottom case wapas lagao.
10 screws ko sahi position mein tighten karo.
✅ Final Check:
MacBook on karo.
Screen ko open-close karke check karo ki hinge tight aur smooth hai ya nahi.
Koi wobble, sound, ya stiffness feel ho toh screws recheck karo.
💡 Tips:
Hinges replace karte waqt dono hands use karo for better control.
Clutch cover fragile hota hai — crack se bachne ke liye slowly open karo.
Screw sequence yaad rakhna helpful hota hai reassembly mein.
