MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement, Disable Auto Boot: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement, Disable Auto Boot: stap 1, afbeelding 2 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement, Disable Auto Boot: stap 1, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Before starting this procedure, you must disable your Mac's Auto Boot feature. Auto Boot powers on your Mac when you open the lid, and may be accidentally triggered during disassembly. Use this guide or follow the abbreviated instructions below to disable Auto Boot. This command may not work on all Macs.

    • Power on your Mac and launch Terminal.

    • Copy and paste the following command (or type it exactly) into Terminal:

    • sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00

    • Press [return]. If prompted, enter your administrator password and press [return] again. Note: Your return key may also be labeled ⏎ or "enter."

    • You can now safely power down your Mac and open the bottom case, without it accidentally powering on.

    • When your repair is complete and your Mac is successfully reassembled, re-enable Auto Boot with the following command:

    • sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03

    Is this step necessary? I can’t perform this step as I am attempting to repair water damage and need to remove logic board & most likely replace the battery.

    @mac_medic You definitely don’t want the power coming on while the board is wet. In your case, I think powering on the machine to disable Auto Boot would do more damage than it prevents. I agree, skip this step and be prepared to disconnect the battery quickly if the laptop automatically powers on. Good luck!

    Jeff Suovanen -

    Thats right! You don't want power running while working on your logic board.

    Dan -

    This did not work when running High Sierra.

    Tried this on a 2018 MBP 13” Touchbar (there’s no iFixit guide for this model yet). Need to replace a broken screen.

    Luckily I managed to connect to an external screen (Cmd-Down Brightness to switch displays) and enter above command. Seems to work, but there’s another problem with this model - it powers up as soon as any key is pressed……. ffs <gnashes teeth>

    Cool_Breeze - Antwoord

    I unscrew the battery first and wrap electrical tape over the logic board battery connector before attempting any repairs to the board. Haven’t had any problems yet and I’ve worked on about 10 of these models already. Also when you open the bottom case use a suction cup at the bottom and pull up then run a plastic spudger along the edges to disconnect the clips. Also only use a plastic spudger on the board. Saw a youtube video from a repair shop and he did not disconnect the power and used all metal tools during the entire process of removing the board. His last step was to disconnect the battery terminal.

    BEFORE YOU START: The included torx head stripped off before I was done (and you might need an additional T4) so stop now and go buy a good one. Also they fail to warn you above to get some blue threadlocker ahead of time.

    This command did not work for me and I read that sometime in later 2020 Apple stopped this command from working…any ideas on a work around?

    Patrick Machacek - Antwoord

    Not able to do that with damaged screen

    richardjgreen - Antwoord

    If you have a damaged screen you can still use a converter from thunderbolt (USB 3) to HDMI and plug your Macbook Pro to your TV as monitor display. Just make sure to chose the right Source (HDMI IN) in your TV. I did it and to make it work I unplug and plug again in my Macbook and so I could disable the Auto boot

    Roberto Sanchez Bustos -

    Hi. This does not work on 2018 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I did exactly this to disable auto boot. But when I check by using nvram -p it says: auto-boot true. Am I doing something incorrectly? I did everything step by step. Copied and pasted the sudo command, pressed enter and then entered my password. I have Big Sur 11.1 installed. Is there any other way since I need to replace the screen. Thank you. Adrian

    Adrian Vizik - Antwoord

    Hi everyone. This is also a little pointless if you can’t see anything on the screen, and you don’t have a display adapter to USB C to display it. I agree with Brian about removing the back and disconnecting the battery cable before you even think about opening the lid of the MacBook. Applying the insulation tape is also a handy little tip that just makes sure there is no way to discharge from either the board or battery.

    Roberto Enrieu - Antwoord

    running `nvram -p | grep 'AutoBoot'` in terminal verifies that it was accepted

    result: `AutoBoot %00`

    Marek Polák - Antwoord

    Running Big Sur 11.6.7 on a 2019 16" MBP, it's "auto-boot". So it's: nvram -p | grep 'auto-boot' to display the current state, the default is true - and then to change it, sudo nvram auto-boot=false which turns it off.

    Ed Mechem -

    This step is completely unnecessary if you follow the guide to disconnect the battery properly. Just put some tape between the battery and logic board connection to prevent it from accidentally touching and therefore powering on the laptop.

    Grant Ormsby - Antwoord

    It took me a few tries to make this command work, as I was able to copy and paste the command into Terminal, but could not type in my laptop’s password. I finally typed my password into a text document, copied it (command C), and then pasted it into Terminal and it worked.

    tommy404 - Antwoord

    I didn’t do this. Mine never auto-booted before I replaced the battery. Now it does.

    hatuxka - Antwoord

    BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - CHECK THE BATTERY!

    I-fixit sent me a bad battery, which I didn’t realize until it was already install. They sent me a new one, but I wasted hours uninstalling and reinstalled.

    Get a volt meter and measure the voltage on the output of the battery pack. If it reads 0 V, SEND IT BACK. It should read over 2 V.

    bcardanha - Antwoord

    I've just received my replacement battery and it reads 0,042V between the two main connectors. Do you think it's dead?

    peter sussex -

    When I did this from Terminal.app within Recovery Mode, the “sudo” was not recognized but I could invoke it without the sudo part. It seems to have been accepted when looking at “nvram -p”

    johann beda - Antwoord

    When in Recovery Mode, you already have superuser powers. So you don't need to prefix commands with the sudo command to invoke them with root privileges; you already have them. Do a pwd (print working directory) after opening Terminal in Recovery Mode, and you'll see that you're in the root user's directory.

    Ed Mechem -

    I received the battery kit for my 2018 MacBook Pro and as per the above comment from bcardanha - Oct 12, 2021, I checked the voltage on the pads marked + and - . It was zero volts so I panicked a bit.

    I sent a message on the iFixiT Facebook page and I got no reply. I finally found the customer service email for Ifixit Europe and sent them an email voicing my concern as I was not keen to work for couple of hours just to discover that the battery is faulty. I had an almost instant reply on the email (kudos to them) and they adviced me to go ahead and install the new battery as the voltage measured when battery is not connected is not relevant.

    I took a leap of faith and after two hours… the new battery showed 50% charge and everything seems to be working just fine. I am happy it worked.

    Mircea Comanici - Antwoord

    After removing the old battery and installing the new battery I powered up the MBP before screwing the bottom on. I discovered the my keyboard would not function. It took a few hours of investigation and frustration that I discovered the track pad power ribbon had become partially dislodged from the trackpad. I was able to see that this through the little machined slot where the battery sat. I had to remove the trackpad to reinsert the power ribbon back into the connector in the trackpad. after reassembling and reinstalling the battery etc the keyboard worked. Just food for thought if your run into the keyboard issue.

    This should be the default. IMO I tell you to power on - not the lid.

    Claire Miesch -

    Excellent instructions. I was able to follow and install the new screen. I recommend that you get a good set of tools before you begin. I started with an inexpensive repair kit bought online. The Penta and torx bits failed. I bought an IFIXIT kit with quality bits and I was able to do everything I needed.

    Tom Markham - Antwoord

    If you're not running an admin account the sudo command won't work (which honestly, you should not be running admin). Rather than logging in to your admin amount via the OS, in the terminal type "login [admin username]," then the password and you'll be able to do the sudo command as described above. Once you're complete, type "logout [admin username]" and you'll be good to go. Obviously replace [admin username] with whatever the account name for your admin user is.

    arichard2401 - Antwoord

    For those unable to complete this step because the screen is too damaged I recommend leaving your macbook on until the battery dies.

    Nicholas R Licato - Antwoord

    Just replaced my 2018 15" MBP battery. Running Sonoma.
    I found no way to disable AutoBoot (The status can be checked in the Power section of system report).

    Anyway, i left my battery completely drain before opening the MBP, and had no issues during the process.

    Cédric Bontems - Antwoord

    After sending this command in terminal when I checked what happens if I now open the lid, instead the screen lit slightly up (still black) then a battery symbol showing the charging state showed up.

    Now, after replacement of the battery, this is all I get to see.

    No reset of NVRAM nor PRAM helped.

    Currently the new battery charges (58% atm) and it feels like it‘s mocking me.

    webrockers - Antwoord

    I suspected the keyboard or TouchID sensor wouldn’t work, so I went on and checked every connector.

    I missed connecting the left TouchID sensor from step 31.

    • Pull the lower case firmly towards the front of the MacBook (away from the hinge area) to separate the last of the clips securing the lower case.

    • It may help to pull first at one corner, then the other.

    • Pull to the side—not up.

    • This may require a lot of force.

    Tip: If you use a spudger as a lever, placing the thin end inside the hinge and pressing lightly towards the bottom casing, it pops out quite easily.

    • Use a spudger to gently lift the battery power connector, disconnecting the battery.

    • Lift the connector high enough so that it stays separated from its socket.

    • If it accidentally makes contact during the course of your repair, it could damage your MacBook Pro.

    Hello, I have damaged this connector and it is now loose with the logic board. It is possible to replace this connector?

    Thanks

    • Use a spudger to disconnect the trackpad ribbon cable by gently prying its connector straight up from the logic board.

  19. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 19, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Prepare an iOpener and lay it on top of the trackpad ribbon cable for about a minute, in order to soften the adhesive securing the trackpad ribbon cable to the top of the battery.

    • If you don't have an iOpener, use a hair dryer to warm up the cable instead. The cable should be warm, but not too hot to touch. Be careful not to overheat the battery.

    • Remove the trackpad assembly.

    • You'll need to swing the display open slightly to remove the trackpad.

    • Take care to feed the trackpad ribbon cable through the MacBook Pro's frame without snagging.

    • Be sure not to lose the six small washers (two circular and four rectangular) resting on the underside of the trackpad.

    • Make sure your new trackpad has a ribbon cable installed before reassembly. If necessary, transfer the old cable, or install the one your new trackpad came with.

  23. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement, Remove the battery: stap 23, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the two 3.1 mm screws securing the battery board.

    • These screws lie under the battery board data cable. You may need to gently maneuver the cable from side to side to access each screw.

    • Either screw may have a water damage indicator sticker on the top. If so, remove it with a pair of tweezers and set it aside before removing the screw.

  24. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 24, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • The battery board is permanently attached to the battery. Check to make sure it has adequate clearance to come out together with the battery, without snagging on other components.

    • Insert the flat edge of a spudger under the battery board on the side nearest the logic board.

    • Lift the battery board to an angle of about 45 degrees. If necessary, lift the battery power connector out of the way to give the battery board extra clearance.

  25. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 25, afbeelding 1 van 2 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 25, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • The liquid adhesive remover provided in your kit can affect the antireflective coating on your MacBook Pro's display.

    • To protect your display, place a sheet of aluminum foil between the display and keyboard and leave it there while you work.

    • Additionally, layer an absorbent towel directly underneath the trackpad area to soak up any excess adhesive remover.

  26. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 26, afbeelding 1 van 2 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 26, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Now that your MacBook Pro is fully prepped, it's time to prep yourself.

    • iFixit adhesive remover contains acetone, a mild skin and eye irritant.

    • Wear eye protection when handling and applying the adhesive remover. (Eye protection is included in your kit.)

    • Do not wear contact lenses without eye protection.

    • Protective gloves are also included in your kit. If you are concerned about possible skin irritation, put your gloves on now.

  27. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 1 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 2 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Pull off the black rubber stopper from your bottle of adhesive remover.

    • Twist to loosen or remove the bottle cap before you cut the applicator tip.

    • This unseals the bottle and allows the pressure to equalize before you cut the applicator tip. If you skip this step, the adhesive remover may spray out unexpectedly when the tip is cut.

    • Use scissors to cut off the sealed tip of the applicator.

    • Cutting close to the narrow tip will give you better control so you can apply the adhesive remover in small amounts.

    • Twist and close the bottle cap securely before you proceed further.

  28. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 28, afbeelding 1 van 2 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 28, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Apply a few drops of adhesive remover underneath the front edge of the battery cell that lies nearest the fan.

    • You don't need to use very much. The small bottle contains more than twice the amount of solvent needed to remove all the battery cells.

  29. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 29, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Tip the front edge of your MacBook Pro up at a slight angle so that the liquid adhesive remover flows underneath the battery cell.

    • Wait 2-3 minutes before you proceed to the next step, in order to give the adhesive remover time to work.

  30. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 30, afbeelding 1 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 30, afbeelding 2 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 30, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • After 2-3 minutes have passed, slide a plastic card under the edge of the battery cell where you applied the adhesive remover.

    • It may help to gently twist the card to open up a slight gap between the battery cell and the MacBook Pro's case.

  31. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 31, afbeelding 1 van 2 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 31, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Gently work the card deeper under the battery cell to break up the adhesive securing it in place.

    • This should not require much force—the adhesive remover does most of the work. If you aren't able to get your card under the battery cell, apply a bit more adhesive remover as instructed above and wait 2-3 minutes before trying again.

  32. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 32, afbeelding 1 van 2 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 32, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Twist the card to raise the battery cell until it fully separates from the aluminum case.

    • Don't try to remove the battery cell completely just yet—it's still attached to the remaining cells.

  33. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 33, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Leave the plastic card temporarily in place underneath the battery cell.

    • This prevents the cell from re-adhering to the case while you work on separating the remaining cells.

  34. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 34, afbeelding 1 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 34, afbeelding 2 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 34, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Repeat the previous six steps to separate the other outer battery cell, on the opposite side.

  35. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 35, afbeelding 1 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 35, afbeelding 2 van 3 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 35, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • To separate the center battery cell, raise the back edge of the MacBook Pro and prop it up on a foam block or book, so that the adhesive remover will flow away from the logic board.

    • Apply a few drops of adhesive remover along the back edge of the battery cell.

  36. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 36, afbeelding 1 van 2 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 36, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Cutouts in the aluminum case between the center battery cell and trackpad may prevent the adhesive remover from flowing all the way underneath the battery.

    • To compensate, apply a few more drops of adhesive remover along each side of the center battery cell.

    • Wait 2-3 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

  37. MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 37, afbeelding 1 van 2 MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports 2019 Battery Replacement: stap 37, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Slide a plastic card under one of the side edges of the center battery cell.

    • Try to keep your card well clear of the logic board as to not risk damaging fragile components.

    • It may help to gently twist the card to open up a slight gap between the battery cell and the MacBook Pro's case.

    • Lift and remove the battery.

    • Before installing your new battery, remove all the old adhesive from the MacBook Pro's case.

    • With a little luck, you can slowly pull out each strip of adhesive with your fingers.

    • Otherwise, soak each strip of adhesive with a bit of adhesive remover for 2-3 minutes, and then scrape it out with a plastic tool. This can take quite a bit of work, so be patient.

    • Mop up any remaining adhesive remover and give your MacBook Pro a few minutes to air dry.

    • The replacement battery included in your iFixit kit comes with adhesive pre-installed. Test the battery's fit and alignment carefully before peeling off the film covering the adhesive, and then press each cell firmly into place. If any additional films/liners are present that weren't on your original battery, remove them now.

    • Calibrate your newly installed battery: charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Unplug and use it normally to drain the battery. When you see the low battery warning, save your work, and keep your laptop on until it goes to sleep due to low battery. Wait at least 5 hours, then charge your laptop uninterrupted to 100%.

    • If you notice any unusual behavior or problems after installing your new battery, you may need to reset your MacBook Pro's SMC.

Conclusie

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Great guide, thank you, every thing work well ! But take EXTRA CARE for Locking tabs on ZIF connectors. Mine gone away with the Tape on Step #10... so it was a little bit hard to set back the connexion.
