Step 1 Prepare your MacBook for disassembly




• Allow your MacBook's battery to drain below 10% before starting this repair. A charged battery may catch fire if damaged during the repair.
• Unplug all cables and fully shut down your MacBook.
• Close the lid and flip your MacBook over. Keep the lid closed until you've physically disconnected the battery.
• Opening the lid will power on your MacBook. If you're using macOS Big Sur v11.1 or earlier, disable this function using this guide.
