How To Replace Bad Battery! 2016 2017 MacBook Pro Touch Bar A1707

[@adamcopley7418]

I cannot recommend this video enough. I was quoted by an Apple approved "Specialist" £600 pounds to replace what they said would be the back panel, battery and keyboard. They said that its because components are "welded" to the chasis. I think what they meant to say was that there's double-sided tape and a few screws. £40 for a new battery from Ebay (Official Apple part) and 45 minutes of time going very carefully. You are an absolute legend thank you so so much.

[@mikesliff]

Awesome video. Helped me change my battery, and everything worked perfectly. Word of caution, though… When removing the old battery, absolutely do NOT bend the old battery. I bent one of them too much, and it literally caught on fire for a second and then started smoking for a while after. And then I bent another one on the other side, and it started smoking as well. So just be very careful. But other than that, everything went perfectly and this video was fantastic! Thank you!

[@tekdep]

Thanks you so much for shearing your experience, this model MacBook Pro needs a professional to do the job but most people with common sense and some research can get the battery changed done safely, No bending, No Sharp Objects, No Poking, No Heating, And Make make sure you discharge the battery by letting the laptop stay on until turns off due to low battery before starting the battery swap.. Good luck

Great Video. My biggest concern is putting everything back the way it was. For example, I know there are T3 and T4 screws. Would I know property easily if I used the wrong screw? I will try my best not to mix them up. I'm glad this video shows the reassemble steps. This is for a 2017 Macbook Pro 15" with touch bar.

Your relaxed walk-through inspires confidence that makes the replacement easier. For the adhesive I use the edge of the Spudger which I dampen with a paper towel soaked in Isopropyl Alcohol. This ensures no liquid spillage while getting it to the leading edge where it's needed.

[@gosh7001]

nice instructions. Be aware that parts of the touchpad boards are exposed under the battery in case you are prying in those areas. All it takes is one wrong move and you could damage the touch pad. That is all I could add to this after having done it now.

If you break the fpc connected (the first connector, how can I repair that, it looks like something I could possibly do to connect it, maybe tape or something idk

[@tekdep]

Hey Rick, sorry to say but if the cable is damaged you will need a new cable. And if you're talking about the actual retention mechanism where the cable is seated it will have be repaired at a shop. Tape will not work We offer mail in repairs at tekdep.com. Sorry we couldn't be of more help, hope this at least provided some clarity

[@scottsaifer6828]

Followed the directions, replaced the battery successfully. Thanks for the guidance. Replacing the trackpad flex cable bracket, I got some arcing as I fumbled the bracket. No damage done as far as I can tell, but some advice about being careful with it, or a way to insulate the surrounding area as you move the bracket into place and get it screwed down would be nice.

Did you lose any data when replacing the battery ?

I have managed to replace the battery, phew, but sadly I might have damaged the circuit for the trackpad which is now unresponsive. Does the circuit below the center batteries for the track pad?

Good directions, thank you. I notice that you didn't remove the trackpad as other people do, in order not to damage it. But, I think is possible to do without removing the trackpad, but it takes a lot of care. isn't it?

[@tekdep]

Veve. the trackpad is not on the way of battery removal, the trackpad cable is but not the trackpad it self, not sure why they would of remove it.. here is a link that we completely disassembled this model and you would see that trackpad is not on the way, good luck :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4fVY4d7bcyWarc

[@mikesmultimedia]

Your video was the most informative and straight forward. Thanks. I changed the battery. BUT!!!! what was not mentioned in your video was how you have to be REALLY CAREFUL sliding your pry tool under the center batteries to get them off. I unfortunately must have pry too hard, and my tool slipped into the small square holes under the batter leading to the back of the trackpad electronics. So, after reconnecting, my trackpad AND keyboard both don't work. Fortunately, I am working around this by using an external BT keyboard and a logitech mouse via USB dongle. Perhaps I may have not connected that ribbon cable properly? Could this be the reason why both my keyboard and trackpad are not working afterward? Or is it because the PRAM or SMC is off because of the battery replacement? Hopefully is is not a damage issue, and maybe the ribbon cable or the memory. Any suggestions? Oh, I also just bought your 9 in 1 disassemble tool kit from your website. Thanks.

[@MatthewChenIsAwesome]

It’s been some time; did you manage to fix your issue?

[@mikesmultimedia]

@@MatthewChenIsAwesome honestly, my A1707 15" MacBookPro is suffering from the cable gate issue involving a monitor ribbon cable defect causing these and other models to blackout the screen when lid is opened past 45°. A class action lawsuit against Apple on this issue was filed, and Apple managed to get that case sent back down to the original court. Aintiffs are revising their lawsuit and plan to refine it. Apple already agreed to provide free fix ($600) for the 13 inch macbooks. But not for the 15 inch models for some reason. So. To answer your question. No. No I have not put any more effort into this computer other than to get it up and running and able to function is to function enough for me to use with with the lid partially open. I'm actually looking at the LG Graham 17" model as a replacement just to get rid of the entire macbook line from my from my computer use

My battery is still OK. I watched your video to see how to access the fans. I'm sure mine need cleaning after hundreds of hours of use. I was taught that it is important to restrain the fan blades from spinning to avoid unnatural forces damaging the fan bearings. I don't understand how that could really be a problem but I still do it out of respect for my instructors. Also because of superstition - I don't want to change my luck. : - ) Do you have anything else to suggest about cleaning the MBP A1707 fans or about other things to check when the case is open?

[@tekdep]

keeping inside the unit clean and free of dust will definitely increase the laptop life, air circulation and keeping the unit cool can means between having major issues such as gpu failure or not having one, i think cleaning the fans using antistatic brush is a good thing to do as regular maintenance, depending on the environment your using it can range from every 6 months to every 5 years... no need to remove the fans but if you can that is a plus.. good luck

[@cappuccino-1721]

I work at an apple authorized repair store. Technically, we are supposed to replace the entire top case assembly, which obviously costs a lot of money. But in my experience, replacing with an OEM battery is just as affective. Only difference is, I take the entire logic board and trackpad assembly out before removing the battery. Yes it takes a bit longer, but there is a much lower risk of damaging something. Also, I use alcohol and heat to remove the old adhesive, the new battery sticks better that way.

@TEKDEP A technician at the apple Genius Bar told me he can’t replace the battery without replacing the top case, that the battery is connected to the keyboard etc. is this true..? He said he would charge me 700 for a top case and 200 for a battery replacement. (Sounds like a lie) I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch A1707

You can indeed change the battery without changing the top case as it’s shown on our video, good luck 🍀 Link for the battery, tekdep.com/product/a1820-battery-for-macbook-pro-15-2016-2017/

merci beaucoup, ça n'a pas été facile, gros stress, mais tout fonctionne. le seul problème a été de défaire les vis du capot qui se sont cassés au départ.

So how do you know when the battery is finally “bad?”..my screen has gone black but the unit still lights up..can it be a dead battery?

[@tekdep]

Screen is black that can't be the battery, if your laptop is staying on but no image than the issue can be simple as the lcd flex cable or as bad as the logic board or the lcd backlight it self, next thing you need to connect your laptop to a external lcd using hdmi and see if you can get it to work that way and post the update here and ill be happy to help with next step.
