Gereedschap gebruikt in deze stap:P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver Retina MacBook Pro and Air$5.99
-
Remove the following ten screws:
-
Two 8 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws
-
Eight 2.5 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.
-
Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally contact its socket.
-
-
-
Remove the single 2.9 mm T5 Torx screw securing the SSD to the logic board.
So when i change my ssd in mac do i have to reinstall Mac OS
Correct, the SSD does not come with OS preinstalled. To install the OS you can completely clone your existing hard drive or you will need to create a bootable flash drive and format your SSD and create a partition in order to be able to install the OS.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to help lift the free end of the SSD just enough to grab it with your other hand.
-
Pull the drive straight out of its socket and remove it from the logic board.
I performed all the steps above and fitted a Transcend JetDrive 500 which was very easy however when I re-assembled and turned on all I get is a question mark in the middle of the screen, can you explain if I did anything wrong?

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the I/O board cable connector upward out of its socket on the I/O board.
-
-
-
Use the tip of a spudger to carefully flip up the retaining flap on the fan cable ZIF socket.
-
-
-
-
Remove the following five screws securing the battery to the upper case:
-
Two 5.2 mm T5 Torx screws
-
One 6 mm T5 Torx screw
-
Two 2.6 mm T5 Torx screws
-
-
-
Disconnect the I/O board by pulling the power cable away from its socket on the logic board.
-
-
-
Gently push the tip of a spudger under the black plastic flap stuck to the display data cable lock to make the lock pop upward and away from the socket.
-
While holding the lock away from the socket, use the tip of a spudger and your fingers to gently remove the display data cable from its socket.

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both antenna cable connectors up and off their sockets on the AirPort/Bluetooth card.
Heads up when replacing a late 2010 display with a 2011 or later... On later model Airs the wifi card orientation changed, which causes two issues: 1) the antenna cables are longer on the newer displays, so you have excess wire to deal with, 2) On 2010 displays the longer wire goes on the antenna port closer to the battery, on 2011 and later displays the longer cable goes on the port further from the battery (flip-flopped). If you switch them up, your wifi reception will be terrible

-
Pull the camera cable parallel to the face of the I/O board toward the rear edge of the Air to disconnect it from its socket.
-
-
-
Peel up the six cable loops securing the antenna cables to the upper case.
-
Gently pull the cable loops slightly out of the channel cut into the upper case one at a time.
-
Use your spudger to open up the plastic loops as you de-route the antenna cables through them.
-
Repeat this for all five retaining loops.
The last cable loop on the right side, was actually stuck around the screw which hold the I/O board.
A hole was specially made in the cable loop, it was not an assembling error.
So I had to remove this screw to be able to peel the cable loop.
I actually did the lcd only repair but this guide led me through getting the display out and reassembly. I would recommend this particular guide to anyone! Professional technician or hobbyist.

Remove the outer 4.9 mm T8 Torx screw securing each display hinge to the upper case (two screws total).
Tried to edit a comment from earlier, but had to delete and start over. I echo Edward's comment but stronger: Try a T-9 before you try a T-8. Or you could end up completely stripping the head before you can even react (one turn, in my case). Then you're left staring at a $500 screw stuck in your MBA case...

Can I change the flex cable... the display cable in a macbook air? Or I have to change all the display? thank
You can change it, but you have to buy the cable with the hinge and change both because it goes together.
One of the antenna cables got stuck in one of the loops, so I pulled it and the antenna connector got off. Now I can’t connect to the Internet. And there is no easy or cheap fix for this problem. So, people, be careful. Better to cut open some of the loops around antenna cables than make my mistake.
I recommend that one of the tools you obtain is a jeweler's loupe that mounts on your glasses. It makes things easier.

This is not correct. You need the pentalobe tool at this point.
