Chosen Solution
I had recently swapped the top assembly to get a lcd w/o dead or stuck pixels. The rubber lid that surrounds the screen is in fair condition but I would like to replace it but I haven’t found a guide. Can somebody tell me how I can replace it w/o taking off the screen from the casing?
I thought I found the solution but it was for a unibody MBP. So I removed the link but I did find a solution on my own. Just to let you all know, this is no means a proper fix. Dissassemble top assembly from frame.“Scrape" off the rubber gasket.Get your new rubber gasket and cut off the part that is suppose to lay under the screen.Test fit the new rubber gasket.Use double sided adhesive to attach the bottom part of the gasket onto the assembly.Use a bit of super glue then work your way around the sides and top.Reassemble. I don’t even recommend to do this at all to anybody. But I did it because my rubber gasket was damaged and was starting to fall apart. I don’t know how long it will last. Could work for a while or it could fall out soon.
See if you can pull it out and squeeze a new one in without moving the glass If it involves pulling the glass off, DONT DO IT, it is not possible to remove the glass without destroying the LCD.
the risk of damaging the proretina glass is very great — given that all mac centres are currently closed, can i just use sticky tape around the border of the glass screen to stop any more of the rubber gasket falling off?
Has anyone found a way to do this? Here is a video of someone replacing the rubber gasket without removing the LCD panel, but I would like additional information/instructions if someone has successfully completed this process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0C_3IAG…
