Great video. Followed this step by step and was able to replace the thermal paste for my MacBook. I had a bit of issue putting the black connector at 3:10 back into place. After 10-15 minutes of using my MacBook which couldn't detect the battery and I thought I had broken it, I found out it hadn't slide in all the way. Used an eyebrow plucker to slide it in and it worked perfectly! Thanks so much.

Great video. Clear and to the point. I'm just starting to get into these 2016-2017 MBP models. Im assuming the backlight keyboard cable is just part of the keyboard cable now. On the previous generations it was always separate.
It connects to the keyboard.

Removing the back was tricky I think pulling down from the part that is a bit open would be helpful. After I proed it loose by running a heavy guitar pick around it I found in mine there are small clips so when I put it back I had to slide them back on to get it to close properly
Yes, that's how it works. It slides into the fan vents.

Hi, Thanks for sharing this, it's very informative,
I got one Question is 1708 LCD connector compatible with 1706 model?
No problem. I'm not sure about the connector.
Great video! Helped me familiarize with the internal parts. May i ask if the lcd connector you mentioned is the same part that technicians disconnect and reconnect for black screen issues? Your response would be greatly appreciated 😊
It's not. Flexgate is caused by the cable that goes into the lcd panel.
And sadly you can't easily remove it. but you can soder it. there are some videos for it on RUclips.
@@1yasin6 it's too risky if you don't know what you're doing.
do you know where i can get a new motherboard from ? i have several issues with this and requires a new one (secondhand is fine) thanks
super insightful video cheers
Not sure, maybe ebay
Great Video. I have a A1708 that needs a new motherboard. If I buy a used motherboard from Ebay could be registered on different Apple ID how can I deregister from initial Apple ID?
You'll have to have the seller give you the info to log in and remove it
Very usefull video, thanks a lot. Only one thing what is missing, and it could be a life saver... After the assembly my Mac can not boot, everything seems dead. The power button is not work for me, the trackpad also disfunctioned. I thought maybe made a mistake when I connected the keyboard ribbon cable, but after recheck the situation was the same. When I connect the power cable, the trackpad start to clicking. After that I made an SMC reset (Shift-Control-Option on the left side of the built-in keyboard, then press the power button), and voilá, the Macbook worked correctly.
Correct. Power cable needs to be plugged in to power on again after battery disconnected and reconnected.
Hi! I have a problem that the service centres right now haven't exactly been able to diagnose. It's these horizontal lines that keep appearing on the top and the bottom of my MacBook screen when I use it for quite a long time of 4/5 hours or play movies/use heavy software etc. They disappear if I let the Mac rest for a while and the display is then back to normal with no lines. My Mac did suffer from a heating issue once so do you think the problem is with the LVDS cable or something of that sort? I own a MacBook Pro 2017 13" model. I'd appreciate any help in diagnosis :"
support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-display-backlight-service Apple might fix it for free. It will need a replacement screen. Hopefully not a logicboard issue.
Have bad SMC and Battery management chip, should I try my hand at soldering and replace? Or just try to find a used logic board ? Also where do you find a logic board cheap?
You can try, but I'm not able to do those repairs. I check eBay for those. What caused the failure?
I was told the SSD was not upgradable because it was on-board on this model. But now I see it is held in place with screws and slots into the port so looks upgradable actually. Is that correct?
Yup, they even have an m.2 pcie adapter, but you need a small version
Awesome video! I used the guide to replace the thermal paste on this exact model. I didn’t have any issues until I got back to putting the largest speaker back in place. One of the screws just won’t tighten, does this mean I have stripped it? More specifically it’s the little hex but not the screw that won’t tighten. I was super careful and followed every step/ recommendation in your video. Is there anything I can do?
Hmmm it does sound like it might have been stripped. You can put a tiny amount of superglue to hold it in place.
@@ItsBinhRepaired thanks for the quick response I’ll do that! :)
@@arthur.vdv1425 hope it works out :)
is it possible to add the two additional speakers at the bottom of the mbp like the higher end model?
I don't think so
Hey, my mid 2017 mbp 13 has now started getting horizontal lines all of a sudden, like a lot of other people with that model have complained that theirs did. I live in Belize so an apple store is a ways away.. maybe in mexico?? anyway, if i tilt my screen halfway down those ugly black lines disappear.. so they said theres an issue with how Apple built the wire that connects to the screen or something.. uhmm wondering if its possible to fix it myself, or what
I don't know of a way to fix that. You'd have to separate the glass from the metal backing, which is really difficult. I've seen videos on RUclips.
Hello,
can I swap the Mainboard of two MacBook pro 2017 without a Toutchbar. I assume they are both an A1708. One is silver the other one space gray though. Are there any other differences or would it work? Thanks in advance
If same model and year, sure.
nice video! if you put thermal pads between the heatsink and the back cover? would that help with overheating and save you the hassle of disassembling the whole heatsink? thanks
No, the purpose is to pull the heat away from the cpu/gpu into the heatsink. If you put thermal pads on top, it'll just hold the heat onto the heatsink.
@@ItsBinhRepaired hmmm that is a good point, I thought it would dissipate the heat from the heatsink into the back cover, since the back cover is also metal
@@samuelxiberras the heatsink pulls the heat onto the radiator and the fan blows it out.
@@ItsBinhRepaired hmm fair point. Thanks for your comments!
@@samuelxiberras no problem
Hi, I know this is an old vid, super helpful tho! Stupid question- I’m used to working on things like cars & such but not super tiny things like this, lol. I’m having trouble reconnecting the battery ribbon. The ribbon has tabs and while using a tweezers, I just can’t get it through the little piece that clips down. There’s gotta be an easier way…. Thanks much!
Push it in by hand so it bows uo a little, then while holding it in, push the bowed up part down, causing it to extend outward into the port.
@@ItsBinhRepaired
Yep, I got it. I realized that the ribbon slides in, does not go through the clamp. Hope I didn't confuse anybody!
@@bobg6175 glad you figured it out.
What is the plastic cover you remove at the beginning from the battery?
Adhesive?
Hi! I own a MBP late 2017 and i have wifi issues so can you replace the wifi chipset? It says "no hardware installed" but its curious because i do have Bluetooth, tnx for the video
It's part of the logicboard/motherboard
Which screwdrivers do i need for this? And do you prefer one thermal paste brand more than another?
Did you watch the video? If you haven't, I highly recommend it before attempting the repair. That info should be in the video.
Binh, do you know if the T5 screw that you called the "battery connector" is required for the macbook to have power? I sent my Macbook Pro into apple for screen repair and it came back without that T5 screw. Now the Macbook won't turn on. They didn't even put the ribbon back!
Yes, it's required.
Both parts are
Do you have any advice before start the procedure? like, use a special tool or something like that! I want to change my thermal paste but I don't want to fry my logic board :(
Keep yourself grounded while working on it. Avoid being insulated. Shoes while standing is the worst thing. If you're barefoot, static can't build up as well. I keep my knee against a big metal object.
My real recommendation is do not attempt to redo the thermal paste on a mac unless you absolutely have to. You won't gain much doing it and risk losing your computer. You'd be better off blowing the dust from the fan vents and turning your ac lower. Lol
Hi my panel suddenly stop working. is it a dead panel or any chance there could be a quick fix? thanks
Most likely flexgate. You might be able to get Apple to fix it for free. Google flexgate and you'll find a bunch of articles about it.
Great video! My MacBook won’t turn on so want to sell it for parts, if I erase the device from find my phone, can I sell the hardrive or does it need to be wiped professionally?
If it doesn't turn on, it won't wipe the drive.
@@ItsBinhRepaired ah I see! So the only way to completely wipe it is if it’s turned on?
@@sigl210 yeah, or you can pull the ssd out and put it in another same model MacBook or just keep the SSD.
Question for you . I have this MBP and the screen only shows the very top menu bar 1/4". Rest of screen dead. No damage to screen. Do you think just replacing the LCD cable where it connects to the logic board would fix? I can hook an external monitor to this no problem and works fine. Apple told me I needed to replace the screen but I am wondering if I can just do the cable.
The screen is the issue, not the cable.
@@ItsBinhRepaired thx. Bummer. Apple did the top case and keyboard last year on this under the keyboard class action thing. It’s basically new. Looks like I’ll be parting it out. Not worth the cost of new screen. Let me know if you need a good 512GB ssd and logic board and a new top case!
Yeah, I had the same thing happen and then the motherboard crapped out...
The parts sound nice, but I don't really do buy and resale.
When you removed the logic board at 11:12, there is a black rectangular rubber that dangles left side of the board. Do you know what that is for? When I removed the headphone jack, it is difficult to put it back in. Is it okay not to put it back in? Thanks.
That's too guide the airflow. Without it, it'll run a lot hotter.
@@ItsBinhRepaired Wow I think I need to put it back on. Thank you for replying.
Yup
Where di you live bro, i have the same model and need a new logic board. Where do you recommend to purchase a logic board replacement?
I usually order from eBay, but that might be a known SSD issue support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-solid-state-drive-service#:~:text=Apple%20has%20determined%20that%20a,June%202017%20and%20June%202018.
hi, can you show, where is microphone on macbook pro 13 2020 ?
You'll have to ship me your MacBook. I don't have computers to experiment with like that.
where is vent for heat? and is microphone inside the the left speaker?
Vent for the heat, look at the fan and use a little brain power. The air can only go two directions. Lol The microphone is the two gold things on the left side under the speaker.
my friend I'm having a problem with the microphone and when I close the lid and open it again it won't wake up. I used to push the Semicolon button hard and everything goes back to normal for both but if the laptop hit anything it goes back to the problem. is it a connecter problem that operates for the two functions?
to make it wake up I had to reset SMC every time I close the lid and open it again
@@jflans600 hmmm maybe the magnet in the screen is missing.
You think it will be fine if i replace the motherboard from i5 8gb to the one with i7 16gb?
As long as it's the same cooling setup
I wanted to change my thermal paste until this video. Ha. Thanks for the teardown and explaining. I wanted to ask. I have this very unit. But in intense usage, graphics design, the laptop heats up HOT. i was thinking of getting a cooling pad. Knowing there isnt any vents on the bottom. I wanted to remove the bottom, yes having everything exposed, but have a hard shell case on it. The hard shell case has vent gaps that the regular back plate does that? Do you think that could help with cooling during heavy usage? Or do you think it would be a hazard for dust and debris and make the endeavor not worth it? It's only at my desk and will only be like this while in heavy uses. All else, would be with the regular plate on. Wanted a second opinion.
It might help a little, but you'll need to make sure the internal components don't touch anything that conducts electricity.
Your best bet is to sit in an air conditioned cooler ambient temperature room.
@@ItsBinhRepaired i appreciate the response. I did a few test rounds. The hard shell is plastic, so it's not conducting any electricity. There's enough gap between components and the shell. To avoid bootlegging, i started to figure out throttlestop, to reduce heat manually thru software. I ended up doing the thermal paste venture. Goodness. 2011 macbook air was such a breeze in contrast to the process for this one. I'm getting a cooling pad to further test without the back panel, but with the hard shell still on. It's a shame that the hard shell has vent slits and the actual back panel dont. Thank you again for your time and response.
@@focusonchrist6752 I did do this. It's actually not that hard, just go slow and follow step by step. It has made a difference to my notebook (my daughters actually) so it was worth it. She was having the same problems you report - even watching a video made the heat on bottom of notebook spike.
Nice
Hi, do you know how to remove firmware bios password from macbook ?
You'd have to replace a chip
You need to take the motherboard out to take out the fan and clean it right?
This video should help ruclips.net/video/3zs_SJ3BXgA/видео.html watch the entire video if you need to remove the fan.
Can the SSD be replaced to a Standard M.2 with an adapter? Thanks
Not sure. Possible one of those half size ones.

I just found out my main logic board needs to be replaced on this 2017 model, since it won’t turn on. Is it difficult to do? And what tools would I need?
Did you watch the video?
Yes I watched it. Do you know where I can get a new main logic board to replace my defective board? Does a new logic board come with the SSD.?
support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-solid-state-drive-service
You can check eBay for replacement board if needed. SSD isn't included unless it's one of the integrated SSD models with non removable SSD
Gj bro. Love ur 💅
Lol thanks. They are very useful.
Hi, My 2017 macbook pro’s wifi card has stopped working. Im looking to replace it. Where exactly is it located on the logic board?
If you need help with that, then there is 0% chance you can do anything about it. I can give you any location on the board and the answer will be the same. Lol There are two options, replace the entire logicboard or try a usb wifi adapter.
@@ItsBinhRepaired it’s had water damage - im assuming the wifi adapter is integrated into this models board… which would mean a new computer/board, right?
The error it gives off is “Wifi Hardware not installed”
@@GuerillaFoco yeah, these new macbooks everything is integrated. It sucks.
i have a macbook pro when i removed the battery cable from the motherboard and put it back in, it no longer works
Make sure it's connected properly
When I tried remove the plastic cover at 2:50 with my metal tool, there is a little smoke. I tried to open the mac again but it didn't turn on unless the charging cable is plugged in. Does that mean that my battery is dead ?
You probably fried the logicboard D:
@@ItsBinhRepaired oh no that probably killed the battery or short circuited the logic board
It's either the battery or the pins melted.
This is why fingernails are the best.
I think he melted the connector :(
Can you please tell me where is/are the microphone connector(s)?
No idea
@@ItsBinhRepaired it's because I had a broken speaker connector, and I soldered the cable in place. It makes sound, it's great but there was a broken pad, and the boardview schematic says it's connected nowhere but it still has a name that says something like spkr ID, I want to make sure this has nothing to do with the mic. So if you record in dictaphone and hit the left speaker, and then the right one, does the left speaker give less noise than the right one like it does for me?
@@Zebra_Paw don't know. I don't own the laptops.
Thanks for your video, you saved my life... Now, I have a question, can I replace my logic board (i5 8GB Ram) for one with more capacity, that is, an i7 16 RAM? of the same model 1708?

Hi, I had lcd issues.. Replaced it 3 times.. The first replace was destroying a mute key of keyboard, so the keyboard has been replaced with the second lcd replacement. unfortunately, it was still bad for the keyboard and flexgate appeared. The LCD only was replaced again but it did not work well. At the end, the service store changed the LCD (but fullset) and the keyboard (original from apple) again. It has been 1 week now. Fan run so fast (at around 7000) when I use power point and OBS for streaming. It gets hot so quickly. Is it normal?
I bought mine (macbook pro non touch bar 13" 2017) in November 2017.
Hmmm that model has a known battery, keyboard, and the flexgate issue. You should send it to Apple.
@@ItsBinhRepaired thanks for the reply. is it ok to send if the warranty has expired? worrying that they prob gonna ask me tons money to fix the mbp
@@saracyber1 they won't fix it until you approve the repair cost. But ask them about those out of warranty known defect repairs
@@ItsBinhRepaired ah ok.. Can I still ask/claim about deffect repair even though I had fixed my macbook not it apple store? Because there is only apple authorized service store available at home, and it was not being recommended by apple to claim my macbook there (I asked this in 2018 by phone when expired date almost over, unfortunately I could not manage to visit apple store near home/Singapore). So I fixed my mbp in service store for apple products a week ago. It costed me $600 or so.

Is there an explanation to that?
@@kvardesh not sure. You have to have it show all devices and format the main one. Boot with internet recovery command option r it should ask for the internet. If you use the built in recovery you can't erase the SSD.

Where is the cable for the webcam located?
It's integrated with the screen cable.
@@ItsBinhRepaired Thank you for replying so quickly. My camera is no longer being detected and apple diagnosed it as a hardware issue. Quoted me $950AUD to replace. Any chance I could do it myself? Or does it need a professional to replace the screen?

@@ItsBinhRepaired Can you link me to what the screen cable looks like for the A1708 MBPs?
It's the short cable that connects from the bottom of the motherboard to the screen board.
Is there a way I can replace the SSD transfer cable.
What do you mean?
@@ItsBinhRepaired the cable that allows the computer to see the ssd. I am getting the flashing folder with the question mark.
@@silencewithsolitude127 what cable? Are you looking at the same thing as me?
@@ItsBinhRepaired do you know how to fix the flashing folder on a MacBook Pro?
@silencewithsolitude127 depends on the model and what caused it. It could be a bad SSD, bad motherboard, bad connector, corrupt OS, no OS, etc.

Hi there omg very nice explanation of things I need ur help please is there a way to message you?
You just did
@@ItsBinhRepaired 🤣🤣🤣 yes u are right, ok here is the issue I have some what experience in repairs I repair all types of iphones,galaxies,motorola pretty much everything that doesn't need soldering, so my MacBook pro (not a costumers) lcd cracked when I dropped it so I order the replacement and I started replacement it but while I was removing it I noticed a weird smell coming from the lcd flex connector (also know as lvds)but I continued,once done doing the replacement the new lcd won't work. What should I do please help
Uhhh did you disconnect the battery and hold the power button before replacing as I mention in every video?
@@ItsBinhRepaired no until I saw ur video but still no response
If you didn't disconnect the battery, then you fried the backlight circuit and possible the lvds connectors. I can't fix that kind of thing. Not sure if other people can.
