just recently 3 of the screws on the back of my Macbook pro have obviously loosened and are sticking out. Can I tighten these myself or do I have to take my macbook to an apple store? if I can do it myself, what kind and size screwdriver do I need? thanks
MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
It is very easy to tighten the loose screws ( assuming they are on the back of a macbook pro). You do not need to use any force more than your fingers and a 1 millimiter metric Phillips or Crosshead screwdriver, while you are at it you can . also check the remaining screws as they too could be on their way to be loose. Good luck.
some say Phillips #00
but the smaller Phillips PH#000 may work better.
thank you so much for that information. Cheers!
thanks for that info - we just need to go out and get the screwdriver.... my macbook pro is 2011 and this is the first time it's happened which is pretty amazing.
cheers
thanks!! off to the store I go!!
Yes you can tighten them your self or Apple store would do it for you over the counter, free of charge.
