  12. There's a trackpad and keyboard ribbon connecting the upper case to the logic board, so don't pull the upper case off entirely just yet.

    • There's a trackpad and keyboard ribbon connecting the upper case to the logic board, so don't pull the upper case off entirely just yet.

    • Starting near the display and working around to the front of the computer, pry up on the upper case. A plastic opening tool or a medium hard guitar pick may help you to do this.

    • The upper case is likely to stick at the connection above the optical drive. If this is the case, first free all other sides, then proceed to pull upward on the upper case from either side of the optical drive opening.

    • If you stand the base on end to get a better look you may displace the total of 4 grey plastic clips that hold the keyboard in place. Don't panic. They slide into slots at the top right-most edge near the CD drive.

  13. While holding up the upper case, pull up the black tab of the silver cable away from its connector. If there is no black tab, you can also use a spudger to gently pry the connector from its housing. This connector is tall, so be sure to pry straight up. If you happen to break your upper case cable when removing the upper case, we stock the cable individually and we have a guide that makes replacing it easy.

    • While you have the upper case removed, you may want to take the opportunity to remove dust, hair, etc. It's best to use a can of compressed air, though if you use a brush, make sure that its bristles are made of a material (usually animal hair) that doesn't generate static electricity, which can destroy electronics.

    • Upon reassembly, there are 4 grey plastic clips on the optical drive side of the keyboard (refer to second picture). They must be installed in their slots for the keyboard to snap in properly.

    • To make the reassamble process easier, it's better to pull out the clips first by pulling it straight up gently. Be careful not to put too much strength because it will break.

  15. Remove the small black plastic spacer from the computer.

  17. Use a spudger to carefully pry the battery connector up and disconnect it from the logic board.

    • Use a spudger to carefully pry the battery connector up and disconnect it from the logic board.

    • In models that don't have a removable black spacer, you may need more clearance to unplug the battery connector from the logic board. Remove the screw at the middle of the left I/O frame, then lift up the lower end of the I/O frame. If removing this screw doesn't give you enough clearance, remove the I/O frame.

    • Look at the pinout on the bottom of the battery connector circuit board. If there's no gap in the two rows of pins (if both rows contain ten pins), it's the Non-Energy Star version. If there is a gap (two rows of six pins each, separated from two rows of three pins each), then it's the Energy Star version. These two versions aren't interchangeable.

    • When reinstalling/replacing the battery connector, make sure to route its short black cable into the channel provided for it in the lower case frame, or else it might press upward on the left edge of the top case at this location, preventing the top case from laying flat here.

Did you ever resolve the issue? If so, what was the problem? Thank you.

Sherita Sims -

My battery connector looks like the energy star (6+12 pins) but on the motherboard says “apple inc 820-2279-A “ and no ‘energy star’ is written. I assume I should get the energy star model because is identical to mine. However, iFixit points to follow what is written on the board. So, something wrong here…
