The new revision of the MacBook Unibody Model A1342 has been kind enough to grace us with its presence.

Tech Specs:

2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3 MB on-chip L2 shared cache.

NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256 MB of shared DDR3 SDRAM.

10 hour 63.5 Wh lithium-polymer battery.

Mini Display port with audio out support. *GASP*

Much like its predecessor, the lower case is held by eight Phillips #00 screws.

The battery looks very similar to the previous one. So similar, in fact, that it's identical in size and shape, and has the same model number (A1331).

Even so, it still makes continued use of Tri-Wing screws to secure the battery in place. Why Apple? Why? Why can't you free us from the oppression and tyranny that is Tri-Wing screws?

Be wary though...appearances can be deceiving, and that is certainly the case here.

The battery in the A1342 Mid 2010 is 63.5 watt-hours and weighs 355 grams.

In contrast, the earlier A1342 has a battery of 60 watt-hours and weighs 347.5 grams.

Lo and behold, the new battery works in the A1342!

Both of these screenshots were taken from the previous iteration, the MacBook Unibody A1342.

You can get an extra 350 mAh of juice if you're willing to add 7.5 grams to your "older" MacBook.

After removing two Phillips screws and the hard drive bracket, lift the drive out of the MacBook by its pull tab and disconnect the SATA connector.

Removing the speaker assembly and AirPort/Bluetooth board requires a bit of work, but nothing we at iFixit can't handle.

Bluetooth model number is BCM943224PCIEBT.

After removing the final few screws, lift the optical drive out of its comfy abode.

You'll be glad to know that MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Mid 2010 continues to use the 8x SATA superdrive manufactured by Panasonic, model UJ898.

Removal of the fan was no biggie. It simply required a Phillips screwdriver and a spudger.

Obviously the logic board needs to come out, or else this isn't a teardown.

With the flick of our trusty spudger, we continue to disconnect several connectors around the perimeter of the logic board, as well as removing the RAM.

Carefully maneuver the logic board assembly out of the upper case.

The heat sink must be removed prior to revealing the newly optimized processor and graphics chips.

Parts numbers found thus far:

Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile Processor E006B705 SLDGZ AV80577P8600 2.40/3M/1066

NVIDIA GeForce 320M integrated chipset graphics card: The successor to the GeForce 9400M.

The display assembly is secured by two large T8 screws, one on each side.

Shameless plug: We sell a screwdriver kit that will enable you to remove these screws.

In Apple's everlasting effort to aid in the reduction of environmental impacts, the LED-backlit display in the MacBook A1342 and Mid 2010 A1342 are Mercury-free.

Wondering how to replace the display assembly? Well look no further, simply follow these steps and you'll be up and running in no time.

Now that we've taken care of that legal mumbo jumbo that some people care about (most people don't), here is the final layout of what used to be a MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Mid 2010.
