Hi Chris, the adhesive should be applied to the back cover first. Make sure you remove the camera plate first and apply the adhesive before reinstalling the plate. I’ve changed the guide to explain that better.
I’d recommend precut adhesive designed for the rear cover. If that’s not available, thin, hi-bond double sided tape like 1 mm wide Tesa 61395 tape will work well.
It’s possible, but pretty hard to do. There’s no guide for this specific MacBook, but here’s a guide for removing the keyboard in a 2013 13” Macbook Pro, and a teardown of a 2018 MacBook keyboard. I definitely wouldn’t rely on the guide or teardown to remove this keyboard, but the processes should at least be similar enough to give you an idea of what’s entailed. For further information you might check our answers forum—chances are there’s someone there that knows more about this repair. Good luck!
We don’t have official instructions out for the earpiece speaker, but it’s only accessible underneath the glass panel and antenna assembly on the back of the phone so removing it is a bit different. After removing the motherboard you would have to lift this flex cable from the back of the phone, just enough to separate it from the adhesive holding it down. Then you can carefully pry up the glass panel, and remove antenna assembly and the earpiece speaker underneath. You’ll probably need an iOpener, suction cup, and opening picks to remove the panel and everything underneath—they’re all glued down pretty solidly.
Without seeing the phone it’s hard to say what the problem is. Replacing this assembly will likely fix any hardware issues related to wireless charging, but won’t help if you have a software issue. It’s probably worth trying a factory reset and looking in to other troubleshooting methods before you open the phone.
Hi Jonathan, the adhesive’s pretty tough so to get the gap started you’ll probably have to hold the phone down with one hand while you pull on the suction cup with the other. Once you have a small gap you’ll probably be able to let go of the phone and use your free hand to insert an opening pick. If you’re having trouble getting that initial gap try applying a little more adhesive.
Hi, you can buy the screen here in our store! Good luck with your repair!
Hi Adam, this guide is not for replacing the charging port—the charging port is part of a separate assembly that requires further disassembly to remove.
Hi Gavin, all the screws in this step are 3.7 mm long, so you can safely swap these screws with one another.
Hi James, there are a couple tabs around the edges of the rubber pieces that slot under the metal frame. I’d line up the biggest tab first and slot it into place, then press straight down on the rubber piece to snap the rest of it into place.
