MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Trackpad Cable Replacement

Step 1 Trackpad Cable



• Use the flat end of a spudger to pop the trackpad connector straight up off its socket on the logic board.
Step 2



• Lift the trackpad cable up off the battery to separate it from the adhesive securing it.
• Be careful not to damage the cable. If it doesn't peel up easily, apply a little heat from an iOpener, heat gun, or hair dryer to soften the adhesive, and try again.
Step 3
• If necessary, peel back any tape covering the trackpad cable connector.
• Use the end of a spudger to flip the retaining tab on the ZIF connector.
Step 4
• Pull the trackpad cable straight out of its ZIF socket on the trackpad control board.
Step 5
• Remove the single 3.7 mm T5 Torx screw securing the battery board to the upper case.
