Upgrade or replace the combo or SuperDrive (requires a slim drive). Be sure to determine which model Macbook you have when installing new parts because earlier models have a PATA/IDE connection to the motherboard rather than SATA.

  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.

Thank you guys for a thorough job explaining this process of changing the optical drive. I replaced 3 totally on mine and 2 friends computers ......... Now it's totally easy and I'm thinking of taking up a little side business or fixing macs with your help!! I wish your parts were a little less expensive though.

I appreciate all your help. The change of my my optical drive costs around 200 dollars in my country, Mexico. But with your aid I didn't pay anything, because of my optical drive had a piece of peaper inside. I'm very glad withyou, thanks a lot. I saved much money, You want a beer?

Hi, thank you for this guide, that was very helpful!

I installed a SSD on my MacBook, but it keeps on ejecting randomly. I switched the HDD and the SSD, and now the HDD ejects randomly... Maybe I missed something when reassembling?

If anybody has any idea, it would be great!

Thanks

I was trying to REMOVE my broken and hardly used combo drive in my Mid-2007 MacBook.

This guide was very helpful for this purpose, too!
