MacBook Neo Screen Removal

Use the flat end of a spudger to gently push under the metal buckle of the display cable connector, located on the top‑right corner of the logic board, to unclip it.

Grab the buckle and cable together and gently pull the connector straight out of its socket.

Repeat this procedure to disconnect the camera cable, located on the left edge of the logic board.

Grip the buckle and insert the connector fully into its socket. Realign it as necessary and don't try to force it in.

Flip the buckle over the socket and press it down until it clicks into place.

Pick up the buckle and cable together and gently pull the camera cable out of its channel securing it to the frame.

Free the cable so it's not wrapped around the corner of the laptop frame.

Hold the display cable's buckle and cable together and free it from the laptop frame.

Use a Torx Plus 8IP driver to loosen (not remove) all four hinge screws.

Loosen the hinge screws at least one full turn.

Adjust the screen until it's correctly centered and aligned on each side. The screen should sit flush with the rest of the laptop.

Fully tighten the four hinge screws.

Open the laptop all the way and gently place it keyboard side down on a table, so the screen hangs over the edge.

Support the screen with one hand.

With your free hand, use a Torx Plus 8IP driver to remove the four 6.2 mm–long screws securing the hinges.

Hold the screen with both hands and lift the hinges out of their recesses to remove it.
