    I'm missing the two 3mm Phillips screws and need to buy some. Are they 3mm long or is it the diameter or both? If you can copy a link with the right screws to buy that would be really helpful! Thanks a lot.

    Tartine - Réponse

    I'm finding that it's pretty much impossible to remove the two 3mm screws holding the cable down. Any hints on that?

    Andrew Huey - Réponse


    Andy Wijaya - Réponse

    Is there a special technique to "bend" the mid-attachment of the replacement cable into place? The cable is straight and I don't want to use force or a tool to bend it down over the edge. The 3mm screws won't go in (as they are pretty short), as long as the holes of the cables are right above the screwholes of the macbook. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Thomas Lange - Réponse

    Andrew Huey & Andy Wijaya, how did y'all take out the two 3mm Phillips screws? I stripped mine. I've tried the rubber band, doesn't work. I'd rather not try the super glue. This is all I have left to take out. Please help; thank you. God bless (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB)!

    Glenda - Réponse

    I also would like to know where to buy a new set of the 3mm screws, anyone?

    Nick Lauritzen - Réponse

    I have a mid-2009 MBP. Removing the 3mm screws was nearly impossible. I read that Apple uses loctite glue to secure the screws. Someone recommended touching the hot tip of a glue gun (minus the glue, of course) to the screw head. Doing so heats the screw and loosens the loctite. It worked well for the first one, I rushed the second and striped it so badly that I had to use a drill to bust up the screw head. I didn’t have a bit small enough to breakup the entire the screw, but I was able to pulverize the head so that the mounting surface was flat, which enabled me to install the new cable. At the moment, my cable is held in on that side by just the one screw and the weight of the hard drive. I’d like to replace the missing 3mm screw but I’d have to drill out the rest of the broken screw to have hole to put it in. Not exactly looking forward to that….perhaps if I just use some electrical tape to secure it down? On the upside, the new cable is working and my mac is up and running again.

  12. Détachez soigneusement la fine nappe du capteur IR/voyant LED veille de la bande adhésive qui la fixe au boîtier supérieur.

  14. Retirez le câble du disque dur.
    • Retirez le câble du disque dur.

    • Il se peut que votre pièce de rechange soit livrée avec plusieurs autocollants en mousse. Ils servent à bien ajuster à la fois la fixation et le disque dur. Utilisez-les seulement si nécessaire.

    The replacement cable comes without the sleep led attached. Thus you have to remove the flat cable of the sleep led from the socket of the old hd cable. Take your fingernail and lift the side of the socket opposite to the cable. It's really tiny! Afterwards insert the new cable and push gently on the part lifted up before.

    Skyynet - Réponse

    Hi, I feel like this article is missing an important step at the end. How do I replace the new IR sensor/sleep LED with the old one that is still attached to the front hard drive bracket? I see Skyynet answered this but it is still nor clear. Pictures would be nice. Thanks!

    Reece - Réponse

    You just gently pull out the old cable and insert the new cable into the small plug as skyynet suggested. It all seems to smoothly realign and guide itself.. you don't have to do much work to get things to affix.

    Hi. What is the purpose of the 5 black rubber pads that are shipped with the cable kit?

    coffeenow - Réponse

    Step 13 has the note: "Your replacement part may come with several adhesive foam bumpers. These are to ensure a snug fit of both bracket and hard drive. Apply only as needed." - This would be if the drive width had a gap and allowed it to move "sideways" in and out of the torx post holes. I didn't need them.

    prall -

    it's not clear whether the new cable should come with a new bracket or the old one is also fine ? here in europe most hdd cables ship without bracket

    natalie - Réponse

    Yes, this was fiddly and it needs extra photos. I only got this done with the aid of a magnifying glass.

    John Walker - Réponse

    Does it matter if I accidentally folded the cable? I was trying to replace the harddrive and my cat jumped on me. There is an obvious fold line on the cable but the harddrive is still readable and everything seems to be fine. Do I need to replace the cable?

    John - Réponse

  15. Votre pièce de rechange peut être livrée avec ou sans le support avant (du capteur). S'il n'y est pas, vous devrez le transférer sur le nouveau câble. Avec la pointe d'une spatule, ouvrez le connecteur ZIF sur le câble du disque dur. Tirez doucement le câble du support du capteur hors du connecteur ZIF.


    • Tirez doucement le câble du support du capteur hors du connecteur ZIF.

    • Avec l'extrémité plate d'une spatule, déconnectez le câble du disque dur du support du capteur.

    • Ôtez la bande adhésive à l'arrière du nouveau câble du disque dur, collez-la sur le support du capteur et connectez le câble du support du capteur.

    • De nombreux réparateurs couvrent la longueur du plus épais des deux câbles avec des morceaux de ruban adhésif isolant des deux côtés, car il peut frotter les crêtes du boîtier à l'intérieur du boîtier en aluminium et donc causer un court circuit sur le boîtier lui-même ou tout simplement briser la connexion.

    This section is backwards, do not try to remove the IR sensor ZIF connector until you have removed the hard drive cable gently from the bracket as @Skyynet says above, by using a "fingernail (or the spudger) and lift the side of the socket opposite to the cable" gently, it's glued on. Then you can wiggle the ZIF connector off of the hard drive cable with your fingers.

    Mark Mikofski - Réponse

    My apologies, I was incorrect in my previous comment. The ZIF connector is a little flap on the hard drive cable that can be opened by flipping it up. This makes extracting the IR sensor easier. Removing the hard drive cable from the bracket may also make removing the IR sensor from the ZIF connector, but only if you've opened the flap. The new cable should already have the flap of the ZIF connector open, so make sure to close it. But does anyone know how you can tell if the IR sensor is connected? It's so small it's hard to tell if it can slide in further.

    Mark Mikofski - Réponse

    Also note there are 3 photos in this step, you can view them by hovering over each one. Click to enlarge.

    Mark Mikofski - Réponse

    I would recommend using tweezers that come with the ifixit tool kit to properly insert the sensor bracket cable back into the sensor bracket. I had trouble with my computer in which the solution was that this step was not executed properly in my repair of the hard drive cable installation. I encourage everyone to make sure the bracket is fully and properly put back in the bracket otherwise the hard drive will appear to malfunction.

    chasethomas642 - Réponse

    I have replaced my cable and my hard drive is now functioning normally again. Unfortunately, the sleeping LED is no longer functioning. I've removed the HD once again and realized the lever wasn't down on the ZIF connector. I pushed it down and put the bracket back into place. Unfortunately, the LED is still not working. I am assuming the connector is either not far enough inside, or the LED on my new cable is broken. I am however reluctant to open everything up again but I am afraid I will break something on the connector, eventually. Am I risking any missing functionality on my Mac by not fixing the sleeping LED? Will my Mac/HD still fall asleep, do Bluetooth devices still work?

    Joff19 - Réponse

    Thank you, it worked fine.The connection to the LED is very hard using my fat fingers...

    alfredovogel - Réponse

    Thanks for this - yes, the final little detail about getting the yellow ribbon in is tricky indeed, I feared I’d bend it too many times and end up breaking it. Also, as there is no way to know if it’s placed far enough in, a bit of guess work. But, 3 mins to re-assemble, and hit power - booted up like immediately, perfect. Cheers - Pat

    Patrick Sgro - Réponse

    Great thumbs up for very hi-res photos for this section. This thing was THE hardest in this guide. If you haven’t got courage to do this, just buy the one with bracket. Even if you have - zoom into the picture. It will save the day.

    If you have hard time putting the cable back into the ZIF connector, try gently pushing the cable down against the bracket while pushing it into the connector. Simply pushing the cable into the connector doesn’t seem to work well.

    Super good guide, I saved my old MacBook Pro 2012 from blank screen.

    Simba Z - Réponse

    I just did this step and I’m concerned I might have bent the little yellow cable or not seated it far enough into the connector. More will be revealed.

    My suggestion might be to re-insert the cable before sticking the hard drive back onto the bracket. It might provide more flexibility and a better angle at getting the sleep LED cable back in the ZIF connector.

    This is just for the sleep LED? and the IR sensor? right so if we don’t care about the LED for sleeping hard drive and never use the IR sensor then it doesn’t matter, right?

    adesign101 - Réponse

    Good guide, great, thanks! It simply works like a charm.

    I’d extend Adam’s suggestion: insert the LED cable into the connector before glueing the connector plate onto the holder. This way you can use both hands, find the correct angle and fiddle the little thingy into place. If you do it behind a magnifying glass it’s even easier.

    Grix - Réponse

    Thanks for this useful guide that enabled me to do this job myself. I found the last step was the trickiest one, so much so that even though I was careful I managed to break the ZIF connector as I was trying to put it back in after also having some difficulty figuring out how to disconnect it. Part of the problem was that I stuck the new cable to the base of the holder before I tried to plug the ZIFF connector back in and did not manage at first attempt to get it close enough to the white housing to be easily within reach of the ZIFF connector that I think is why it broke when I tried to put it back in. It was not a nice surprise but fortunately when I completed the reassembly the hard disk started working again with no problems that was my reason for changing the cable, so losing an LED light and some sleep (pun intended) was worthwhile.

Hi, My mac, I bought in late 2011 (december), doesn't work on internal harddrive( I replaced it to SSD, year agao), but when i use SATA cable externally, it works perfect. I get the circle and slash sign when I try to boot with internal drive cable, but SATA works fine. Do I need to replace my internal cable?

Raj - Réponse

that probably means the cable is done. Just replace it and find out. It worked out that way for myself. If its not the cable, well it was going to cost more to bring in to a repair shop anyway.

My MacBook Pro 13 inch late 2011 I replaced the original HDD with OWC SSD was working great since 2 years, now I have a very slot computer, I was trying to make a restore from time machine it was restoribg very slowly it mentioned 500 hrs, when I removed the SSD and installed it externally by USB the restore time around 2 hrs, Do you think the flat cable is broken or there’s something deepest in the motherboard?

Please advise,

Thank you,
