Replacing Display Cables
There are several cables that go up into the
display. The data cable, inverter cable, and
wireless antenna all go up into the display. All
of these cable must go up through the hinges
and with this tight space, there is a high possi-
bility for these cables to get damaged after a
lot of use due to the general wearing down of
the cables from opening and closing the dis-
play. They can also get damaged fairly easily if
the MacBook Pro is dropped. The hinges
could pinch or cut the cables. If this happens,
the machine will need to be opened up and
these cables replaced.
The main part that needs to be removed in
order to replace these cables is the clutch
cover. As seen in the first two images, it is the
metal piece that goes over the hinges and cov-
ers all the cables going up into the display.
There are several Torx T6 screws holding
the clutch cover to the front bezel. Depending
on what cables you are needing to replace, it is
not necessary to completely remove the clutch
cover. You can just remove enough of the
screws to loosen it enough to extract the old
cable and route the new one. Take close note of
how each cable is routed before removing them
so you know how to route the new cable cor-
rectly without risking damaging the cable pre-
maturely.
Replacing the Hinges
As pictured below, you can see one of the
hinges. These rarely will go out unless the
MacBook is dropped . The clutch cover will
need to be fully removed to access the four T6
screws on the hinge. Once it is removed, you
can replace it with the new hinge, reroute the
cables and reconnect the clutch cover.

The clutch cover pictured
above is in charge of
properly routing all of
the cables and hiding them
so they are less likely to
get damaged.
