    • Before proceeding, unplug and power down your MacBook. Close the display and lay it on a soft surface, top-side down.

    • Remove the following eight screws securing the lower case:

    • Two 1.8 mm P5 Pentalobe screws

    • Four 2.9 mm P5 Pentalobe screws

    • Two 6.1 mm P5 Pentalobe screws

    • Note the orientation of the screws as you remove them—they need to be reinstalled at a slight angle.

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your device.

    • Wedge your fingers between the upper case and the lower case, starting from the rear of the MacBook between the hinges.

    • Lift the lower case only slightly to avoid damaging the cables that connect the lower case to the upper case.

    • Keeping a firm grip, lift steadily until the lower case separates slightly from the upper case.

    • You may experience a lot of resistance when lifting the lower case. If necessary, slide an opening pick or other ESD-safe pry tool down the side edges of the lower case to pop the two hidden retaining clips free.

    • During reassembly, to re-engage the clips, press firmly near both side edges of the lower case (near where the pick is inserted in the third image) until you hear the clips snap into place.

    • Lift the upper case and display together from the front edge and raise it to about a 45˚ angle.

    • It may be helpful to prop the MacBook open in this position for the next step.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to press and hold the small gold 'battery disconnect' button.

    • If the power LED is lit up, continue holding the button until the LED goes dark, and then release. This may take up to 10 seconds.

    • If the LED does not light, release the button after 5-10 seconds. Press and hold it again for 5-10 seconds, and release. Finally, press and hold it a third time for 5-10 seconds, and release.

    • This step ensures the MacBook is fully powered down and safe to work on.

    • Carefully close the MacBook and flip it over once again, so that the Apple logo faces up.

    • Lifting from the front edge, raise the upper case/display assembly to about a 90° angle, and prop it up against something sturdy so you don't have to hold it.

    • Add a piece of tape near the track pad to secure the upper case and prevent accidental movement.

    • It's possible to open the MacBook all the way and lay both sides down flat, but this may damage the flex cables and is not recommended.

    • Remove the single 2.9 mm T5 Torx screw securing the battery connector to the logic board.

    • Remove the two screws securing the USB-C port cable bracket:

    • 1.1 mm Phillips #00 screw

    • Some variations of this model may use a Tri-point Y00 screw.

  15. Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 15, imagem 1 %32 Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 15, imagem 2 %32
    • Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the USB-C port cable bracket by prying it straight up from the logic board.

    • To reconnect this cable, first line up the metal bracket over the screw holes, then press down on the middle of the bracket. Make sure it's aligned correctly, or you may damage the connector.

  16. Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 16, imagem 1 %32 Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 16, imagem 2 %32

    • Disconnect the audio jack board ribbon cable by pulling it straight back out of the ZIF connector.

    • During reassembly, orient the ribbon cable so the white stripe faces you. Insert the cable until the white line disappears under the socket.

    • At this point it is possible to open the macbook all the way and to lay it flat on a table without causing any damage to the flex cables.

  19. Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 19, imagem 1 %32 Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 19, imagem 2 %32
    • It's possible the metal retaining flap on the display cable connector may flip open, remaining stuck to the tape.

    • If so, use the flat end of a spudger to hold down the retaining flap while peeling the tape away with the tweezers.

  20. Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 20, imagem 1 %32
    • Use the flat end of a spudger to flip open the retaining flap on the display cable connector.

    • Try to keep it clear of the tape, or it may re-adhere and make cable removal difficult.

    • Carefully slide the flat end of a spudger underneath the display cable to separate the adhesive holding it to the lower case.

    • Take care not to damage the cable. If the adhesive is very strong, heat the case directly beneath the cable with an iOpener to soften the adhesive, and then try again.

    • Hold the retaining flap open.

    • Disconnect the display cable by gently pulling it straight out of its connector.

    • Immediately close the retaining flap. Keep it closed throughout your repair.

    • During reassembly, keep the flap closed while you insert the display cable. Remember to orient the cable so its gold contacts face down, making sure not to crimp or fold it—it'll click into place when it's connected.

  23. Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 23, imagem 1 %32
    • Separate the upper case assembly from the lower case assembly.

    • Use tweezers to lift the USB-C port just over the hinge screws.

    • Slide the port out and up over the display hinge to remove it.

    • There's very little clearance when removing and installing the USB-C port. If there's not enough room, don't force it. Try removing the display hinge screws and moving the hinges for additional clearance, if necessary.

    • Remove the two 3.3 mm T5 Torx screws securing the display cable assembly.

    • Take care not to lose the small retaining bracket located under the right screw. If it comes loose, note the orientation shown here for reassembly. The small tab on the outer left edge should be hooked under the perforated metal shield.

  34. Retina MacBook 2016 Upper Case Assembly Replacement: passo 34, imagem 1 %32

    • Holding the display assembly with one hand and the upper case with the other, push them together slightly to move the hinges out of their recesses in the the upper case.

    • There are only a few millimeters of play between the hinges and the case, so you won't need to push far.

    • Push the upper case forward while pulling back gently on the display.

    • Once the two display hinges have cleared the upper case, remove the display and set it aside.

Just a warning, but when any repairs are being done on this particular model, its important to discharge the battery before disconnecting ANY cables or connections internally. Not doing so can damage logic board components or more. I was looking into the take aprt for the top case, and there was no mention about discharging the battery before cables were being disconnected so I wanted to put this on your radar. Thank you

Hi, I would just like to make a comment about how awful the keyboard is on the 2016 “touch bar” MacBook Pro.

I repeat: It’s awful.

n step # 35 I had to use a larger handled driver to break the screws loose.

On step 22, the retaining flap mentioned isn't opening for me, and I can't tell from the photos which direction it opens (and I don't want to force it). Can someone please advise? @adamocamb are you able to help me out here?
