Extend Your Apple Laptops Life by Replacing the Bottom Case Housing

Apple is known for producing long-lasting devices. However, even the most durable products, such as Apple MacBooks, eventually wear out in time. For many parts like the bottom case housing, it is possible to purchase a replacement piece rather than having to replace the entire device.

Are the bottom case housings genuine Apple parts?

In some cases, the replacement bottom housing consists of aftermarket parts made by a manufacturer other than Apple. However, most of these manufacturers are authorized by Apple to make replacement parts, which mean that they will fit exactly the same as OEM parts. Genuine Apple replacement parts for the bottom case housings are available as well.

What components come with the laptop bottom case housing?

There are two different types of housings you can select for your Apple MacBook. The first is just the case itself, which does not contain any of the electronic components. The other component you can select is the entire bottom section of the Apple MacBook, which includes the keyboard, trackpad, and all the electronic components included in the base of the laptop. In many cases, replacing just the outer case of the laptop can be a less desirable option as it can cost more and is time-consuming to complete. Replacing the entire bottom portion of your MacBook by purchasing what is known as a top upper case is usually the preferred way to go. Rather than removing all of the components and moving them into a new case, you can simply take the entire bottom half of the MacBook off and replace it after undoing a couple of screws.

How many parts are included with the bottom case housing?

The bottom case housing is a single component, but it includes the four rubber pads found on the bottom of the housing, along with the necessary screws and other hardware needed to replace it. If the item you purchase does not come with the required screws, they can be purchased separately.

How do you determine which component model you need?

While every Apple product has a model number, the brand doesnt label, advertise, or sell its products by those numbers. Instead, it lists them by when they were produced. The best way to be sure you are getting the right case housing for your MacBook is to check the About This Mac section on your computer, which will tell you exactly when your laptop was produced. That, in turn, will tell you what type of housing you need. The steps to check your model of laptop are:

  1. Click on the Apple symbol on the top right corner on the top bar of your MacBook.
  2. Click on About This Mac.
  3. The pop-up screen will give you detailed information about the model, along with system information.
