#MAC PRO 2007 DISASSEMBLY MAC#

I guess an alternative would have been to pop off the top plate right off, leaving the grey tabs hopefully still in their respective holes. Actually there's five - there's one more above the screen latch button. When you reassemble, you'll realise that the top plate will pop into these four tabs. So by actually sliding the right side of the top plate backwards - towards the screen - during removal, these plastic tabs also slid off. These tabs actually slide into the rectangular holes above the DVD drive like this: You'll notice that these grey plastic tabs can actually pop off. Notice those grey plastic tabs? They actually fit into those rectangular holes.

Notice the four rectangular holes near the front edge? Good. On closer examination, here's why its such a pain to remove the right side: You gotta pop that connector like they say on iFixit, if you wanna remove it completely. After some jostling, where I thought I'll break something along the way, I managed to lift the left part out and somehow slide the right side backwards a little towards the screen and off came the top plate. Well, I found that the left part came off after a little bit of rocking, but the right side and the area above the screen latch button was quite stubborn. iFixit says something like rock it side to side. Then you'll soon find that the the trickiest part is getting the side closest to you, out. HOWEVER, there are some undocumented points that are garnered from my own experience opening up my 15 inch 1.83 Ghz MacBook Pro to replace its hard disk with a bigger 160GB model.įirst, follow iFixit's guide unscrewing all the screws that they tell you to, and get to the part where you're supposed to take off the top plate (that's what I'll call it - its the piece that has your keyboard). At the heart of the system is an Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores the most ever in a Mac. From production rendering to playing hundreds of virtual instruments to simulating an iOS app on multiple devices at once, it’s exceedingly capable.
