Orient the computer so that the side with the line of screws on it is away from you.
-
Use your thumbs to push both battery release tabs away so that the edge of the battery lifts up.
-
Lift the battery out of the computer.

-
1) With your fingernails, grasp the locking bar on either side slide it a small amount (about 1/16" or 2 mm) towards the battery.
-
2) After disengaging the locking bar, slide the cable out of the connector.
Where can I get a replacement clip for the ribbon cable?
you’re a repair shop and you can’t get the connector? or have a stockpile to pull from? I could use that connector too ~
the ribbon cable for keys and trackpad you shown are not consistent - my PB17” A1107 has just the thinner cable like one shown in prior pic~

-
Loosen the trackpad connector by pulling the locking bar toward the battery housing, using the tips of your fingers.
-
Slide the trackpad cable out of the loosened connector.

Note: When reassembling the case, the trackpad cable can get stuck below the slot to the motherboard. It's possible to nudge it out slowly by gently prodding it on either side with a small screwdriver. You don't need to use much force to do this. Eventually it will just pop back out and you can reconnect as per the instructions above. Also, note that the locking bar comes loose so if you see a little piece of plastic lying around when reassembling, that's what it is. :)
The locking bar is UNDER the cable. It is a tiny grey (metal?) piece the width of the connector. A tiny flat head screwdriver can be handy for moving one side then another in increments towards the battery compartment. Finger nails may be too clumsy for this.

Remove the following 10 screws from the bottom case:
-
Three 1.7 mm Phillips from the front edge of the battery compartment.
-
One 3.9 mm T8 Torx to the right of the memory card.
-
One 6.9 mm T8 Torx at the left edge of the memory compartment.
-
Three 12.4 mm fully threaded Phillips from the center of the row of screws along the back edge of the case.
-
Two 15.1 mm 2.5 mm threaded Phillips, one from either end of the row of screws along the back edge of the case.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to loosen the casing if it sticks.
-
Once the casing is entirely free, lift it off of the computer.
BE VERY CAREFUL when replacing the keyboard to thread the keyboard ribbon cable through the slot. The steps didn't appear to make this warning and when I replaced all screws, found that it was jammed and would not come through to connect with the connector. I had to undo a lot of steps to go back and rethread it properly.

Disconnect the inverter cable, the Bluetooth/DC-In cable, and the display data cable from the logic board.

From each complete hinge assembly, remove two Torx T6 screws from the outside of each set, leaving two remaining in the middle of each hinge. On each side, the two screws closer to the edge of the computer are shorter than the two screws closer to the center of the computer. Then remove the two inner screws from each hinge assembly. There are 8 screws total.
-
-
-
When reassembling the display, check to see that the hinges are seated properly before reinstalling the 8 screws of the two hinges. There is a metal phalange on the inside end of each hinge assembly that must be pointed downward and fit into a slot below the inside edge of the hinge. If not, the inside end of each hinge will sit too high and the plastic retaining bracket for the wiring will not sit down properly.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Excellent tutorial. We had a pair of these Macs side-by-side to swap keyboards and displays and it all came together perfectly. Your note about those little tabs on the hinges needing to point straight down is really important; otherwise the display's mount is a little off and it won't close properly. Took us a couple tries to get it right, but we're back in action.
Which screw driver I have to use here?
