Borderline Diabetes 6.4

Macbook 13 "- modding / or restyling ....

... like making up for a manufacturing defect (posseno ammazzalli them) with a dash of style while Gaddafi sfancula the UN.


was a little 'time that I wanted to do, in part because the classic Mac in the long white smashes the testicles in part because the 13-inch MacBook 'classic a few years ago (a gem that does not cost much) has the defect (recogni from the house) to break into the corners, ... e quindi vai di restyling.


Premsessa: se non siete interessati a fixare gli angoli rotti ma solo a fare un restyling come il mio allora potete pure non smontare il macbook.


Ma prima il risultato finale, rullo di tamburi...






Ora rimbocchiamoci le maniche...


Vediamo il difetto :

In particular, the part that breaks is the edge of what engineers call the "upper house" that is the body that contains the keyboard and trackpad, which bought separately costs about 150 euros.




The work that I decided to do was to remove a whole section of border that is the one that breaks the long run by myself and then I applied a sticky film like wood to give the mac a vintage touch to match with the 70 living room furniture 100% pure homosexuality geekismo applied to more stringent.



The steps are the following:

1) Learn how to safely disassemble the macbook to remove the upper house

2) Cut the damaged rim to give the MacBook a solid line on the edge giving the idea that it is not ruined

3) Apply adhesive

4) Improve the design



1) Learn how to safely disassemble the macbook to remove the upper case.

not reinvent the wheel, easy video that teaches you how to disassemble the macbook can be found below, there is also useful if you'd like to change ram, an HD, an upper houses damaged cable (cable that allows the motherboard to communicate with input devices) or an upper house in full, and so on.



As I said, it is essential that you disassemble it unless you want to cut the piping (point2) if you do know that if we break the machine are all cocks yours and blah blah ... In addition to upper case removed will be easier to apply adhesive and cut the paper (Section 3)


2) Cut the edge

Once you are in the hands of the upper house and place them on a surface with a cutter and a ruler, cut the board in excess.

Rifnite then around the edge with sandpaper to rendrlo Lisio Lisio.




3) Apply adhesive


Draw a rectangle behind the adhesive paper 11 x 28 cm , ie the part of the keyboard. Disegnatelo enough to the center of the paper so that there is sufficient space for the edges (about 3 cm in the upper right and left and about 11cm down) of the macbook.


Now cut the rectangle that is the "window" that will contain your keyboard. To help you understand what you mean by window spoiler below a photo with the film already applied.



Do not worry about the trackpad on the cutting can be done later, enough to go light with the macbook closed cutter will damage the macbook .


Then apply the adhesive paper so that the rectangle is empty space for the keyboard. Avoid forming air bubbles going very slowly and pressing with your fingers on the paper by hand hand that stretch.


Now turn the upper house with the cutter and cut the excess paper from the edges.


Replace the macbook with the patience of our Lord.


At this point the paper is well flattened on the trackpad with a cutter and a hand down from the trackpad obtained by cutting the excess paper.


The same if you want to do it for key trackpad and power button, but it is not strictly necessary.


The result will be about this ...



4) Improve the rest of the body.

I called the interior desgin with two strips of sticky paper on the outer shell near the apple.

you know do better ...


and is the result.


Salumi.
