How to Remove the Macbook Pro 13 Inch Bottom Case

[SuperComputerdork]

Does taking the case off but nothing else and putting it back on, void my warranty?

[PowerbookMedic]

@SuperComputerdork - Likely not, but you'd need to check with your warranty provider.

[giounds]

@SuperComputerdork: No, it does not.

Im have some problems ......m macbook pro base screws are stucked can u tell me which screw driver to use

[PowerbookMedic]

@Burhan3d - For the bottom case you use a Phillips #00 screwdriver, they are available from our website.

I tried doing this but two of the screws are stuck, will not come out. I guess an Apple tech in Tx used locktight on it the last time I had it repaired. Any suggestions?

[Masterine]

is it safe to remove the cover while playing games? cause macs overheat easily...

[PowerbookMedic]

@Masterine - No, it is not safe.

@Masterine the mac book pro doesnt overheat easily

[kalijasin]

Is that metal or plastic?

[PowerbookMedic]

@kalijasin - It is metal.

I'm having the hardest time trying to unscrew the screws...

i got 5/10 so far.. my fingers are so numb D:

It got stuck and finally I pulled it out. It work fine now, but there is a freaking clicking sound righ where the hard drive should be. Unfortunately, this sound is not consistent and it did not make any noise when I took it to the MAC store. What should I do with this expensive piece of electronic device. Thanks

PS.

Please read the previous comment so that you can follow up.

@endlesucces - I'd recommend getting the unit professionally diagnosed. It likely needs to be opened up to determine the extent of the liquid damage.

Hello thanks for the video.....I recently bought a MACBOOKPRO JUST LIKE THIS ONE. I had an small accident by spilling coffen in my bag with my computer insde the case. Unfortunately, the case could not absorb all the coffe and par of it passed to my the left side of my computer where the CD/DV drive is. Somehow the sponge dried up and the disc I had inside did not want to come out.

@endlesucces omg i feel so bad for u, i hope it is ok now, did u take it to a mac store?

[ign1991]

considering the fact that the hard disc is placed at the palm rest with no vents, does it get heaty?

[MacBookPro1995]

@ign1991 Nope

[JasonTeja]

is there any version of macbook pro that have the hard drive and battery location mixed up? (battery on the right side and the hard drive on the left side)

[35g70]

That is so much easier then the older versions of the MacBooks.

[IMSinper]

yeah, there is a whole section about how to replace the HDD. LOL

[chieffw]

I have always wondered, that fan is pointing at a solid case, how the hell does it get air?

[Dmully]

@chieffw when you open the lid, the vents are exposed

[chieffw]

@Dmully Don't you just hate people who respond to an year old comments?

[Dmully]

@chieffw sorry for trying to help...

[chieffw]

@Dmully Yeah, it would've been helpful, 10 months ago, before I opened my own macbook to check it out and upgrade my RAM.

[Dmully]

@chieffw wow, you're a prick. straight up.

[chieffw]

@Dmully wow, you are completely inappropriate, and about 10 months too late with your advice, realise that 1. You aren't trying to help anyone 2. You are just being a self righteous douche bag

It will not void your warranty. Apple shows you how to do it, in their user manual.
