FOR DIYers:
Required Tools For Repairs on a 2012 13″ MacBook Air model A1466 Family :
Note: Before you begin, make sure to drain you laptop battery completely by disconnecting the power adapter & leave it on until the computer shuts down. To ensure the least risk of shock to you or the internal printed circuit boards (PCB’s), disconnect the battery before performing any repairs. Typically, to help protect you and your device you should always wear safety glasses & anti-static nitrile gloves.
- Pentalobe screwdriver (P5): The bottom case uses a proprietary (Apple exclusive) type of screw called a Pentalobe screw. This type of speciality screwdriver is required to remove the bottom case and begin your repair.
- Torx screwdriver (T4 & T5): Torx bits are needed to remove the screws that hold the MacBook components such as the I/O Board, MagSafe port, Audio PCB, Fans, Trackpad, Battery & more.
- Torx screwdriver (T8): The T8 Torx screwdriver is also needed to remove the screws that hold the hinges of the LCD assembly in place.
- Plastic Spudger: A plastic spudger is a tool that helps get in between things and useful to pry apart components with less risk of damaging them. Additionally, you’ll need a spudger or plastic pry tool like one found in TekDep’s pro kit to disconnect some cables and connectors inside of your 13″ MacBook Air A1466.
- Anti-Static Tweezers: With respect to the screws, some of the connectors, cables & many of the internal brackets are very small. For this reason, you’ll need a good pair of tweezers. They are useful to disconnect or reconnect things, pick them up or gently move things out of the way. Just as well, they can be a useful tool to hold on to things as they are inserted back into place.
Note:
Sooner or later most electronics will require some maintenance or a repair of some kind and as time goes by there are more and more tutorials & videos available on the web. These can help guide you through the process of doing it for yourself.
While that is very true, it is important to be aware that working on a MacBook Air can be challenging.
In general, you will need to be very careful when opening, touching, handling, disconnecting or working with the internal parts of any electronic device. This is to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the delicate components inside. Be careful not to damage something else while you try to replace a part. Just sayin…….
One more thing, if you haven’t done this kind of thing before or aren’t fully comfortable doing this type of thing, it’s always a better idea to take your MacBook Air to a professional. This can give you the best chance of success & give you less risk of harm or damage.
