Remove the I/O board screws
  • These screws may be hard to access. If you can't insert your screwdriver properly, use a flexible extension to avoid stripping screws or damaging the logic board.

  • Use a T4 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 15.5 mm‑long screws securing the outer edge of the I/O board.

  • Use a T6 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 20 mm‑long screws securing the inner edge of the I/O board.

  • During reassembly:

  • Partially tighten the four screws securing the board.

  • Lay your Mac Studio down and plug a cable into one of the ports to ensure proper fit and alignment, adjusting the port as necessary—the cable should be easy to insert and remove.

  • With the cable plugged in and the board in position, fully tighten all four screws.

  • Unplug all cables before continuing.
