01 / Get ready

Before you begin

  1. Verify model A2337; the early-2020 Intel model has a different procedure.
  2. Back up and fully discharge the battery before beginning. Unplug power.
  3. Prepare replacement speaker adhesive as well as the correct battery. If the battery is swollen, stop and arrange professional handling.

Stop if you find a damaged battery, liquid damage or a part that does not match the guide. Don’t force a connector or improvise a tool.
