Fasse die durchsichtige Kunstofflasche an, ziehe den Akku hoch und aus dem Unibody heraus.

Wenn die Lasche eingedrückt ist, dann verriegelt sie den Akku.
Do I need to wait for the battery to charge completely before using the computer (while plugged in)?
No. You do not need to charge it completely before removing it.

Löse die einzelne Kreuzschlitzschraube, mit dem die Festplatte im Laptop gehalten wird.
when trying to remove the first screw (the bracket one) i didn't succeed. i think i've damaged the screw. is there any way to unscrew it? it seems fixed - maybe due to hot temperatures. the computer is still in warranty, at least until middle December - would warranty include this kind of repair? may i fixit myself? how can i remove the screw? thanks in dvance
Any luck removing the first screw? or did you seek the help of a repair shop?
I've had a similar issue where the Philips didn't fit in the screw. Ended up using 2 flathead drivers to pull the hard drive up and away from the opposite black bar by using some force. I could then slide the hard drive out of the enclosure. Then removed the 2 screws that hold that bar in place. I could then slide in the new drive with the removed bar re-attached to it, and then screw it back into place.
Be careful with this, as it can damage the enclosure. Will definitely void warranty.

Entferne die beiden T6 Torx-Schrauben auf beiden Seiten der Festplatte (insgesamt vier Schrauben).
Quote from dporritt:
In step 7 one uses a 1.5 hex key not a T6 torx, which is too small and ill-shaped.
I am trying to use a 1.5 hex key for removing the screws and it is not working at all. I am going to have to get to the store and get a T6 Torx I guess.
I wonder whether the rubber sheeting used to insulate the original drive is sold somewhere… My new hard drive needs some, because in its current 'naked' state it causes a lot of vibration in the body.

I'm not sure about a source for the original sheeting, but you can improvise with a layer of electrical tape or duct tape trimmed to size. Make sure you leave the 'do not cover' vent hole uncovered.

At step 7, the side screws are very tight. Both T6 Torx and 1.5 Hex keys dont work for me. I fear the screws could get damaged if i try more. How do i unscrew them?
What was your solution to removing the screws? I am having the same isse.
Hello
Sandisk X400 SSD proposed for this macbook works in 3gb/s?
There is a known limitation of nvidia chipset with ssd's who appear to work as sataI instead of sataii.
Thank you
Any news regarding this?
My hard drive failed and it was too old for Apple to fix. I did this and the install went great. I replaced with a (Old Model) Seagate 1TB Gaming SSHD SATA 8GB NAND SATA 6Gb/s 2.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000LM014) bought from Amazon. However, the computer will not power up. Nothing happens when I hit the power button. Any ideas or suggestions?
The A1286 has no Access Door.!!
I actually can see no sign of the battery!...

I assume you have the newer model, with the built-in battery. It's still removable with tools, but these are the wrong instructions for that model.

On other guides you state the height of the HD that can be supported, e.g. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Model A1211 Hard Drive Replacement , I have read ( but have not confirmed ) that the uni-body MacBook Pro can be fitted with the 750GB and 1TB 12mm drive from Western Digital.
Can you confirm this?
Many thanks in advance.

My display and aluminum casing has separated.
I don't know if it just snaps back together or does it need to be glued.
I dropped mine on the carpeted stairs and the display still works.
I'm hoping I can just snap it back together and that no plastic pieces or teeth of the snapping
portion have been broken........

When you say "left fan" is this "left when looking at the logic board after turning the computer over and looking it up opening it up" or "left when sitting at the computer keyboard and typing on it"?

We always use left and right in reference to the computer when you're using it.

Directions were great and the worn dc in board was replaced. The hardest part of the procedure is disconnecting the data display cable. A better description of step 21 is to slide the connector parallel to the circuit board towards the outside corner. Reconnecting correctly took several tries.
I used the tip of the spudger to nudge the corners a little at a time to seat the connector.
The ribbon connector for the keyboard has to be inserted all the way before seating the retaining cap. It took me three tries . First try power button did not work second try numbers keys did not work.
Thanks for the directions ...could not have done it with out them!!!

Hola. Poseo un MacBook Pro Late 2008 y debo cambiarle las cornetas. Me sirve unas cornetas de un MBP Late 2011?

Please read the instructions about removing the bluetooth cable - you CAN work around it, and NOT take off the plug.
