Product Details
Is the USB-C port on your Retina MacBook 12" loose, only charging at an angle, or not charging at all? The port and the flex cable that joins it to the logic board come as one part, so a new USB-C port and flex is usually the repair you need.
This part fits the 12-inch Retina MacBook A1534 from Early 2016 and Mid 2017. Got the Early 2015 model? It uses a different part, the 2015 MacBook 12" USB-C flex cable.
Part Includes:
- 1x USB-C port with flex cable and connector
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the Early 2015 MacBook 12" A1534. About This Mac shows MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016) or (Retina, 12-inch, 2017) on the models it fits.
Please Note
The 12" MacBook has one USB-C port, used for charging and data. This part replaces the port and its whole flex cable.
Please Note
The top and bottom halves of the case have to be separated to fit it. The logic board stays in.

- Run
sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00in Terminal first so the MacBook doesn't switch on when you open it. Turn it back on afterwards withsudo nvram AutoBoot=%03 - Always power down your device prior to working on it
- The eight P5 bottom case screws are three lengths. Track your screws on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop, as several screws look alike but are different lengths
- Disconnect the battery by holding the small gold battery disconnect button down with a spudger until the power light goes out, then remove the T5 battery connector screw
- Don't lay the case flat until the audio cable is unplugged, as the cables joining the two halves can be damaged. The display cable is stuck down, so warm it gently and don't crease it
- The USB-C bracket is held by a T5 screw and a #00 Phillips (a Y00 tri-point on some units). Line the bracket up over its screw holes before pressing it onto the logic board
- The port is held by two #00 Phillips screws. Clearance at the hinge is tight, so ease the port over the hinge screws with tweezers rather than forcing it
