MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Lower Case Replacement

Step 1 Lower Case

• Remove the eight 4 mm Phillips screws securing the lower case to the MacBook.
Step 2




• The lower case is constructed of rubber-coated aluminum. Do not excessively bend the aluminum during removal, as any permanent deformation will cause tolerance issues after reassembly.
• Slightly lift the lower case near the vent opening.
• Continue running your fingers between the lower and upper cases until the upper case pops off its retaining clips.
• The location of these three clips is shown in the third picture.
