TY. excellent write up =)
TY good write up I did not have an SSD drive . Some of the screw locations were slightly different [I suppose they very by configuration].
I meticulously followed your instructions. I did have trouble reconnecting the hard drive but it was my lack of experience and a good magnifying glass. Problem fixed. Fan working great.
Really appreciate your photos and explanation
