Identifying Feature
There are no recognizable visual differences between the MacBook (13-inch Late 2007), MacBook (13-inch Early 2008), and MacBook (13-inch Late 2008) models.
To distinguish these models from the previous MacBook model, refer to the shape of the vents on the back of the computer.The newer models have five long horizontal vents on the bottom case under the display clutch cover.
MacBook (13-inch Late 2007), MacBook (13-inch Early 2008), and MacBook (13-inch Late 2008):
Conversely, the previous MacBook model had multiple short vertical vents on the bottom case under the display clutch cover.
Previous Model, MacBook (13-inch Mid 2007):

Cable Connector Names on Logic Board
To aid servicing the computer, the logic board now includes abbreviated names for the main connectors. Refer to the image and explanation below:
BKLGHT = Inverter cable for backlight
TEMP = Heatsink thermistor cable
FAN = Fan cable
RTC = Backup battery cable
BT = Bluetooth cable
ODD = Optical drive flex cable
LVDS = LVDS display cable
HDD = Hard drive cable
SPK = Left speaker cable
SPK = Right speaker cable and subwoofer
MIC = Microphone cable
MacBook (13-inch Late 2007) Take Apart — General Information 15
JST Connectors
Most of the cable connectors on the logic board use a JST design that requires special vertical insertion and extraction. Refer to the brief movie in the sidebar for a visual demonstration. Note: To view the movie, make sure the manual is opened in Acrobat.
Caution: To prevent damage to the connectors, remove and install them from a completely level position.
•To disconnect them, use a black stick and your finger to help support the cables and keep the connectors level.
•To connect the cables and avoid damage to the sensitive contacts in the JST connectors, make sure the mated parts are completely aligned, level, and flush to each other before applying pressure.Then use your finger or a black stick to press them straight down into place.

Keycap Replacement
Service packages of 78 replacement keycaps are now available in the U.S. and Canada (U.S. version keyboard only) for designated MacBook and MacBook Pro computers.The packages allow you to replace individual keycaps rather than the entire top case.
There are four different keycap packages, based on the color of the key and the type of keyboard (version D and S).

For step-by-step instructions, refer to the relevant support article:“MacBook/MacBook Pro: Black Keycap Replacement”(HT4002) or “MacBook:White Keycap Replacement”(HT4003).
For an overview of the differences among keycap procedures, refer to “MacBook/MacBook Pro: Keycap Replacement Matrix”(HT4001).
MacBook (13-inch Late 2007) Take Apart — General Information 17
Foam Sponges on the Logic Board
The logic board has two foam sponges:one covering the inverter connector above the AirPort Extreme Card, and one covering the thermistor connector next to the heatsink.The foam sponges have a light adhesive on one side that keep them in place.While they can be removed for service, they must be reinstalled.
Caution: When servicing the computer and before replacing the top case, make sure these two foam sponges are undamaged and in place.
Logic Board Spring
Caution: When servicing the computer, be especially careful when working near the spring on the logic board, located just above the AirPort Extreme Card. Although the spring is flexible, it can be inadvertently torn, bent, or broken if a cable gets caught on it. A logic board might be considered unusable with a damaged spring. Check the structural integrity of the spring before installing the top case and completing a repair.

Tools
Caution: To prevent scratches or other cosmetic damage to the computer housing, use a soft cloth as a protective layer when removing and installing the external screws.
The tools required to service this computer include:
•Clean, soft, lint-free cloth
•Coin
•ESD wrist strap and mat
•Magnetic Phillips #0 screwdriver
•Magnetic Phillips #00 screwdriver (preferably with a long handle)
•Black stick (Apple probe tool, part number 922-5065) or other nonconductive nylon or plastic flatblade tool
•Access card (Apple part number 922-7172) to open the top case
•Jeweler’s flatblade screwdriver

•Stack of books, weighted boxes, or other means of support for display while removing screws from hinge
•Thermal grease (Apple thermal compound syringe, part number 922-7144)
•Alcohol wipes
•Permanent marking, felt-tip pen
•Standard size CD or DVD disc
•Flashlight or bright lamp
Temperature Concerns
The normal operating temperature of this computer is well within national and international safety standards. Nevertheless, customers may be concerned about the generated heat.To prevent an unneeded repair, you can compare a customer’s computer to a running model, if available, at your repair site. For more information on temperature concerns and customer perception, refer to Knowledge Base article 30612“Apple Portables:Operating Temperature.”
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30612
Note About Images in This Manual
Because a pre-production model was used for most of the images shown in this manual, you may notice small differences in appearance between the image pictured and the computer you are servicing. However, although the appearance may differ, the steps and sequence are the same unless noted.
Serial Number Location
The computer serial number is located in the battery bay, as shown below.You can also find the serial number by opening the Applications folder and selecting Utilities/System Profiler/
MacBook (13-inch Late 2007) Take Apart — General Information 19
Hardware. Or from the Apple menu, select About This Mac, and click the version number below the words“Mac OS X”to cycle among the version number, build number, and serial number.
Transferring the Serial Number
When replacing a top case, retain the customer’s top case until the repair is complete. Before installing the replacement top case, transfer the serial number from the original top case to the replacement.
Caution: It is imperative that you copy the correct alphanumeric characters. Keep in mind that Apple serial numbers use the numbers 1 and 0 instead of the Roman letters“I”and“O.”
1.Locate the blank space for the serial number on the battery-bay area of the replacement top case.
2.On the inside surface of the replacement top case, use a fine-tip permanent marker to write the original serial number clearly and legibly in uppercase box letters.

3.Holding the long end of the L-shaped RAM door, pivot it out from the battery bay. (If necessary, use a black stick to tilt it up and out of the battery bay.) Be careful not to bend it.
Replacement Note: Before replacing the RAM door, make sure that

Memory (DIMMs)
This computer comes with a minimum of 1 GB of 667 GHz Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) installed. It has two slots that can accept SDRAM Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMMs).The slots are side-by-side on the logic board behind the RAM door. For best performance, memory should be installed
as pairs with an equal memory card in each slot.The maximum amount of memory for this computer is 4 GB, with 2 GB DIMM installed in each slot.
Memory cards must meet these requirements:
•1.25 inch or smaller
•512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB
•200-pin
•PC-5300 DDR2 667 MHz Type RAM

MacBook (13-inch Late 2007) Take Apart — Memory 28
Removal Procedure
1.Touch a metal surface inside the battery bay to discharge any static electricity.
2.Put on an ESD wrist strap.
3.In one swift motion, use one finger to move the lever to the left and release it.This swift motion ejects the memory card.
Caution: The memory card eject levers are on a spring hinge that operates on a side-to- side horizontal plane.The mechanism can be damaged if the lever is forced outside of that horizontal movement.To prevent damage to a lever, move it swiftly—in one sideways direction only.
Note: Unlike previous MacBook models that allowed you to replace damaged or malfunctioning DIMM levers with a part kit, you may need to replace the logic board.
If the lever is stuck in a completely closed position (recessed underneath the bottom case), use a wooden pencil or black stick to gently pry it out, as shown below.
