MacBook screws are easy to lose and easy to strip. The base uses pentalobe heads while the internals use Torx, and running a machine with screws missing lets the base flex, which is how cables and ports get damaged next.
Base screws differ in length around the edge on these models, so they need to go back in the positions they came from.
Stock for this part moves with supply. If you cannot see the exact fit you need, tell us the model number from the underside of your MacBook and we will confirm what we can get. Everything else for this range is under MacBook Pro 13-inch Spare Parts.
Trade accounts and repair shops can order through wholesale.
Pentalobe P5 for the base, and Torx T5 or T3 for most internals. Drivers are listed under repair tools.
Yes. Base screws differ in length around the edge, so fit them back in the positions they came from or they will bite into the board.
Stop turning it. A stripped pentalobe usually needs an extractor, and forcing it damages the case thread. Book it in rather than persisting.
