New Parts and Procedures

Main Logic Board

The major change is the Intel Core Duo design with the ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 graphics chip. The FireWire 800 port and S-video connector has been removed. Composite and S-video connection is still available using the optional Apple DVI to Video adapter. Clearly, this new logic board will not fit in any previous Mac notebook or vice versa.

The microprocessor is soldered to the main logic board. It is not upgradable.

To accompany these hardware changes, the boot architecture is now based on Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). EFI replaces the Open Firmware (OF). Services provide by OF such as boot snag keys such as “C” for boot from optical,“N” for network boot, and “T” for Target Disk Mode are still available under EFI. The one change is the “D” key is used to launch Apple Hardware Test from the Mac OS X Install disc.

Main battery

MacBook Pro uses a new battery pack. It built with lithium polymer battery cells. This technology is used with our iPod product line and the base chemistry is the same as the previous lithium ion cells. This battery pack uses the same controller as the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-layer SD).

As such the battery calibration procedure is the same.

MacBook Pro Basics— General Information  7

Power Adapter

The system was designed to use the new Apple 85-Watt Portable Power Adapter. This power adapter comes with the new MagSafe power connector. It is not compatible with any previous notebook computer.

The MagSafe connector consists of a magnet and an attraction plate. The magnet is placed within the computer. The attraction plate is part of the DC plug on the power adapter.

The DC plug consists of five pins. Each pin is spring loaded.The center pin is a sense pin (2). This center pin must make contact with the computer before power is applied. Power is carried on the remaining four pins. The outer pins are positive terminals, the inner pair are the return paths.

The pin pairs to either side of the sense pin are redundant. As such, the plug can be put in two ways. To support this design, the power LED (1) is on both side of the connector. The behavior of the LED is the same as before, amber for charging the battery, green for supplying power, but not to charge the battery.

MacBook Pro Basics— General Information  8

As the computer port has the magnet, as you are servicing the system it is recommended to put a piece of tape over the connector to avoid materials such as screws and washers to be inadvertently drawn into it.

15.4-inch Display

The MacBook Pro is the first Mac notebook to the use the 15.4-inch size display. In addition, it is the brightness display used. As such, care must be exercised to avoid damaging the display panel. As you will see in the design, contact with the rear of the panel has been minimized. Do

not put any new material such as tape on the back of the display panel nor press hard on it while handling it.

Top Case

As the sleep magnet has been relocated to the side of the display bezel, the sleep sensor is now located to the right side of the top case just around the bottom of the perforated

Keyboard

The keyboard is the same design as shipped with the PowerBook G4 (15-inch/17-inch Double

Layer SD) except the flex cables. In particular, the keyboard backlight flex has changed. As such no other internal keyboard is compatible with MacBook Pro.

Mass Storage (Hard drive and optical drive)

The hard drive has changed to a Serial ATA interface. This drive is new and previous PowerBook drives will not work in this system.

The optical drive is a 9.5mm high drive. Previously optical drive has 12.7mm height. As with previous designs, the drive should be flat in its compartment before fastening it down.This step ensures proper path for optical media to enter and exit the drive.

MacBook Pro Basics— General Information  9

AirPort Extreme

The AirPort Extreme card is a new card design. Unlike the most recent card, it does not support Bluetooth, It is the same form factor as used on the iMac (Spring 2006). However, there are two version of these cards. We have structured our service parts to keep the two separate.

The AirPort antenna is no longer in the display housing. In the clutch barrel, there is a gray plastic insert. The AirPort antenna is underneath this plastic window.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth has returned as a separate card. In addition, it has its own antenna. It is a little board which is place in front of the hard drive near where the top case meets the bottom.

Back up battery

The back battery is no longer a rechargeable. It only provides power to the real time clock and does not support system memory.

If you don’t have a power adapter connected, when you swap a battery in a running system, it must be done from sleep. The system will shutdown when you remove the battery. When you power back up, it will boot up from hiberation.

ExpressCard

ExpressCard has replaced the PCMCIA card cage. The ExpressCard standard supports two sizes cards, 34mm and 54mm width. MacBook Pro supports the 34mm standard.

Unlike the previous PCMCIA design, there is no eject button. The card itself is used to engage and disengaged itself from the card cage. In some designs like Ethernet ExpressCard, the card stick out beyond the card cage. It is easy to push on the card to release it. Other cards will be flush with the MacBook Pro enclosure and will take a little more care to pop out.

MacBook Pro Basics— General Information  10

IR and the Apple Remote

Infrared port is placed on the front of the unit just to the right of the display latch button. This port is used in conjunction with the Apple Remote provided with each unit. It can be used to control Front Row software that manages your music, photos and videos. The remote can also be used to control other applications as well.

iSight Camera

An iSight Camera has been built-in into the display bezel. It allows a user to capture video and take still photos. The green LED to the right of the camera is on when the camera is on.

Unlike the standalone iSight camera, the microphone is not integrated with the camera. It is located as previous Mac notebooks by left speaker.

Service Manual Note

In this manual, graphics or photos are intended to help illustrate procedures or information only, and may show different levels of disassembly, board colors, configurations, or computer models, than your computer.

Kapton® Tape Note

Kapton tape is used to secure cables and connectors where necessary.

During disassembly, note any Kapton tape use and locations—reapply in the same manner. Do not over apply or build up tape on top of old tape; space tolerances are tight and build up or extraneous use of tape may cause pressure on other components.

Cable Routing Note

The MacBook Pro matches the same one-inch enclosure height established with the PowerBook G4 17-inch series of systems. More so than ever, the placement of parts and wiring is critical.

During disassembly, note cable routing. Reassemble in the same manner. Verify that cables do not route over components when they should route into lower positions or channels. Verify that the cables are not strained or applying pressure onto other components.

Screw Measurement Note

All screw measurements given are the specified full length. Actual measured lengths may vary.
