MacBook Pro Retina Display Teardown

Editing Step 10 —

Step Type:

Drag to rearrange

At last! With the LCD removed, we can remove the antenna and FaceTime cables from the display assembly.

The camera cable is routed along the outside edge of the display assembly, making replacement very difficult and costly. Thankfully the cameras fail very infrequently, if at all.

If the FaceTime camera were placed at the bottom of the display, it would likely be much easier to replace, but we wonder what kind of awkward side effects that would cause.

Disclaimer: iFixit does not believe that the FaceTime camera should be placed at the bottom of the display assembly. That is a silly idea.
