Fit it yourself
Replacing the full display assembly is a mid-level job: no glue and no soldering, only screws and connectors. Take your time and use the correct bits. If anything feels tricky, stop and use our free fitting instead.
Moderate · 30–60 min
Most mistakes come from the wrong bit stripping a small Torx screw, or from pulling a cable before its connector is released.
Steps for the MacBook Pro 13-inch Unibody (2009–2012)
- Shut down and remove the ten bottom case screws (Phillips #00).
- Disconnect the battery: walk the connector up out of its socket with a spudger, from both short ends, and bend the cable away.
- Unplug the AirPort/Bluetooth cable, the camera cable and the four antenna connectors.
- Remove the AirPort/Bluetooth assembly and the subwoofer (Phillips screws).
- Unplug the display data cable, hold the display and remove the hinge screws (T8), then lift it off.
- Fit the new display in reverse order, connect the battery last, then switch on and test.

i purchase a laptop A2141 battery is draining fastly i ping through whatsapp number i didint get proper reply, please consider the request
Hi P S PRABHAKAR, thank you for your review, and sorry for the wait on WhatsApp. That reply should have reached you faster.
Your A2141 was fully tested before dispatch. When we looked into the fast battery drain, we found the Mac had been updated to macOS Tahoe. On this 2019 Intel MacBook Pro, Tahoe can cause heavy background activity and faster battery drain. We explained this in our email and shared our guide, and the product page also advises against this update.
We would still like to put this right. You can send the machine to us and we will reinstall the OS for free, or you can follow our step-by-step guide to reinstall it yourself. Please note that, as stated on the product page, the warranty does not cover issues caused by the Tahoe update.
Please WhatsApp us on +91 7010545974 or write to support@sparesonly.in and we will take this forward with you directly.
