    • Rotate the computer 90 degrees again and remove the four 3.2 mm Phillips screws from the side of the computer.

  8. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 8, imagem 1 %32 MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 8, imagem 2 %32 MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 8, imagem 3 %32
    • Do not yank the upper case off quickly. The case is attached to the logic board via a ribbon cable.

    • Lift up at the rear of the case and work your fingers along the sides, freeing the case as you go. Once you have freed the sides, you may need to rock the case up and down to free the front of the upper case.

    • There are four plastic clips above the DVD slot, and another above and to the left of the IR sensor. These clips can be very difficult to disengage without prying. They can also be difficult to re-engage during reassembly.

    • Reassembly Tip: Press down firmly on the tip of the top case above the location of each clip until you hear a snap to reseat them in their slots.

    • Reassembly Tip: The two center DVD clips will rarely snap back into place properly without help, and downward pressure will instead simply deform the frame around the DVD slot. Support the frame by inserting a plastic spudger into the DVD slot directly under the clip location until it is snug, then press down until you hear the snap.

    • Disconnect the trackpad and keyboard ribbon cable from the logic board, removing tape as necessary.

    • Note: It is possible to replace the hard drive without disconnecting the keyboard from the chassis, but it will need to be held upright to keep it out of the way, while still allowing you both hands to work on the drive removal.

    • Be careful when removing the keyboard-trackpad ribbon cable to ensure that the rear of the upper case is disengaged from the area near the hinge. It is easy to accidentally bend the screw receivers on either side of the keyboard.

    • Remove the upper case.

    • Disconnect the two or three antenna cables attached to the Airport Extreme card. Depending on your model, one of the three cables may be unused and capped with a black shrink tube.

    • Apple was kind enough to include a label showing where each color antenna cable plugs in - just make sure to look at this when reconnecting the antenna cables.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger perpendicular to the face of the display between the plastic strip attached to the rear bezel and the front bezel.

    • Do not insert your spudger between the plastic strip and the rear bezel.

    • With the spudger still inserted, rotate it away from the display to separate the front and rear bezels.

    • Work along the right edge of the display until the rear bezel is evenly separated from the front bezel.

  21. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 21, imagem 1 %32 MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 21, imagem 2 %32

    • Now that the right and bottom edges of the rear bezel are slightly separated from the front bezel, use a spudger to pop the rear bezel off the tabs near the lower right corner of the display.

  24. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 24, imagem 1 %32 MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 24, imagem 2 %32
    • Insert the flat end of a spudger between the front bezel and the plastic strip attached to the rear bezel near the screw holes at the bottom corners of the display.

    • Rotate your spudger toward the rear bezel to separate it from the front bezel.

    • Peel the large piece of black tape off the LCD near the latches at the top edge of the display.

    • It is not necessary to completely remove this piece of tape.

  27. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 27, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the two pieces of tape covering the iSight and camera ribbon cables near the top of the display.

  32. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 32, imagem 1 %32
    • The next few steps will require you to separate the LCD from the adhesive applied to the upper and lower edges of the front bezel.

    • The adhesive is applied such that it sticks to a thin steel strip around the perimeter of the LCD. When prying your LCD away from the front panel, be sure you are separating the front panel from the steel strip on the LCD.

    • Do not simply pry on the edge of the frame as it is made of aluminum and can very easily bend!

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to gently lift one of the top corners of the LCD out of the front bezel.

  33. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 33, imagem 1 %32
    • Work your way along the top edge of the LCD, slowly prying the attached steel strip away from the front bezel.

  34. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 34, imagem 1 %32 MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 34, imagem 2 %32
    • Now that the top edge is free, slightly lift the LCD out of the front bezel for enough room to pry the steel strip along the lower edge of the LCD away from the front bezel.

    • Pry along the lower edge of the LCD until it is freed from the adhesive on the front bezel.

    • Avoid pulling the edge of the LCD unit from the screen. Be sure to insert the tool between the metal of the bezel and the metal of the LCD. If the adhesive is very strong, make a couple trips across the bottom edge to avoid applying too much pressure.

  35. MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 35, imagem 1 %32 MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260 LCD Panel Replacement: passo 35, imagem 2 %32
    • Lift the LCD out of the front bezel, minding any cables that may get caught.

    • Replacement Note: there are clear plastic shims attached via adhesive to the sides and bottom of the lcd panel. Be sure to transfer these shims to the replacement panel for optimum fit.

    • Don't forget to transfer the small magnet attached to the right side of the LCD to your new LCD. The absence of this magnet will prevent your MacBook Pro from entering sleep mode.

    • Depending on the model of your laptop, the magnet may be located inside a hole in the front bezel, not the LCD itself. See second picture.

I didn't have any trouble getting this apart - I used a small screwdriver from a jewelry repair kit (the set of six super small screwdrivers). I slide it in on the left front where it was open and slid it towards the IR thing. After that clip opened up I just slid it over towards the DVD drive... presto. Will update when I put this back together in a couple days. This guide should warn in the beginning to keep the screws identified in some way or you'll have a %*^! of time putting it back together.

I didn't have a spudger handy, but I got by just fine using an old credit card. Don't use a current one, as I dented up the edges pretty good in the process.

I've disassembled many a pc laptop without instructions, but macs are special ;) it was very helpful to have all the details spelled out for me. Thanks!

Confirming Success #44.

While I would advocate for good lighting, non-geriatric eyes, or a vision headset, and serious patience, I do not thing this was extremely difficult. I'm 66. Took my time, and it came up ok.

By the way, a heavy guitar pick works well as an alternative to a spudger. Keep one rounded and file another one to a point for removing the cable connections/ zif connections etc. I have been using these now for a few repairs and they work really well.

Be very carefull and bee patience. It´s very helpfull to have something like the ifixit magnetic project mat to keep the screws in order, otherwise you will have a hard time to put the parts together.
