I have removed all of the screws from the rear cover of my MacBook Pro 17" (i5 128 SSD). When I proceed to try and lift off the cover it appears to be secured in the middle of the cover…which is really odd. Is this held by tape, a hidden screw, a clip? How do I proceed?
Turns out there’s just two clips in the center that the rear cover clips into. With gentle force it will pop off after the 10 screws are taken out.
I had the same issue. Trouble is, how do I re-attach those clips when re-assembling the computer? Update You are correct. Just press the back plate against the Mac’s innards. It will click. Thanks a lot.
I have the same problem. The issue is that those 2 clips fit into 2 little bracket type parts that are screwed to inside of the case. One of mine is broken (plastic middle part) It is to unscrew it. But I can not find anywhere where to buy this little piece of plastic
