Intro:
Agar aapka MacBook ka keyboard, palm rest area, ya power button damage ho gaya hai, ya dent/crack aaya hai, toh upper case replace karna zaroori ho sakta hai. Is guide mein hum seekhenge kaise upper case ko safely remove aur replace karte hain.
🧰 Tools You’ll Need:
Phillips #00 screwdriver
T6 Torx screwdriver
Spudger
Plastic opening tool
Tweezers (optional)
New upper case (with keyboard and power button)
⚠️ Safety Pehle:
MacBook ko shutdown karo aur power adapter remove karo.
Static-free surface pe kaam karo.
Battery disconnect karna must hai to prevent short circuits.
📋 Step-by-Step Instructions:
🔹 Step 1: Bottom Case Remove Karo
MacBook ko ulta rakho.
Neeche ke 10 screws remove karo using Phillips screwdriver (3 screws long hote hain).
Bottom case ko gently upar uthao aur hata do.
🔹 Step 2: Battery Disconnect Karo
Spudger ka use karke battery connector ko logic board se gently disconnect karo.
🔹 Step 3: Hard Drive, Optical Drive, Fan, and Logic Board Ko Remove Karo
Yeh steps thoda detail mein hain, but upper case access ke liye zaroori hain:
Hard drive: Bracket ke screws remove karo, cable disconnect karke drive hatao.
Optical drive: Screws and cables remove karo.
Fan: Screws and connector hatao.
Logic board: All connectors (keyboard, display, mic, battery indicator, etc.) carefully disconnect karo. Logic board ke screws remove karke board ko lift karo.
📌 Step-by-step removal same hai jaise logic board replacement guide mein diya gaya hai.
🔹 Step 4: Upper Case Ready for Removal
Ab jab sab components remove ho gaye hain, upper case ko gently lift karo.
Check karo koi cable ya wire abhi bhi attach toh nahi hai.
🔹 Step 5: Transfer Remaining Components (if needed)
Agar aapka naya upper case empty hai (without trackpad, speaker, etc.), toh:
Trackpad, keyboard backlight, aur power button ko purane case se nikaal kar naye mein install karo.
🔹 Step 6: New Upper Case Install Karo
New upper case ko base pe place karo.
Logic board ko align karke wapas lagao.
Sab cables aur components ko wapas connect karo:
Display cable
Keyboard/Trackpad cable
Speakers
Battery indicator
Mic
Fan
Hard drive
Optical drive
Screws tighten karo as per their positions.
🔹 Step 7: Battery Reconnect & Bottom Case Close Karo
Battery connector ko logic board se jodo.
Bottom panel place karo.
10 screws wapas tighten karo.
✅ Final Check:
MacBook ko on karo.
Power button press karo aur system boot ho raha hai ya nahi check karo.
Keyboard, trackpad, and speakers properly kaam kar rahe hain ya nahi test karo.
💡 Tips:
New upper case buy karte waqt ensure karo ki keyboard layout same ho.
Agar keyboard ya power button kaam nahi kare, toh cable connection ya seating check karo.
Ye replacement thoda time-consuming hai — patience rakho aur cable handling gentle rakho.
