Introduction |
| I couldn't find a guide so I made my own for future reference. This repair only cost me twenty dollars as I found a cheap Touch Bar which ended up working great. My Touch Bar had the white light flickering when idle problem, so I decided to replace it. This completely fixed the issue. | | | In order to access the Touch Bar you will first need to remove the motherboard, and I advise also removing the Touch ID sensor to protect it from any damage when removing the glued Touch Bar. You might want to remove the screen to protect it, especially because you will anyway need to loosen a few of the hinge screws blocking access to the Touch Bar board. However, I chose not to remove the screen because I didn't have small enough Torx screw drivers for some of the antenna screws. There was however still one single screw(holding the Touch Bar board at the very end of the guide) smaller than the T3/4/5 that I had available, but I managed to remove this screw with a simple knife tip. | | | Keep track of every part you remove and especially every screw, they all have specific lengths and in the end you have about two dozen so if you mix them up you might end up completely stuck. | | | Be advised that although I have experience replacing screens and batteries, this was difficult and long for me, because of the final Touch Bar removal step where the Touch Bar was so glued to its slot that I had to scrape it bit by bit out. Not fun, but doable in time and with care. | | | Please comment if anything is incorrect, I might have made a mistake in what I wrote here compared to how I actually got it to work. |
