    • Before proceeding, close your computer and lay it on a soft surface top-side down.

    • Remove the following ten screws:

    • Two 8 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws

    • Eight 2.5 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws

    • The special screwdriver needed to remove the eight 5-point Pentalobe screws can be found here.

    I recommend that one of the tools you obtain is a jeweler's loupe that mounts on your glasses. It makes things easier.

    This is not correct. You need the pentalobe tool at this point.

    • In this step you will disconnect the battery to help avoid shorting out any components during service.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.

    • Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally contact its socket.

Hi Andrew, thanks for your guide on MacBook Air 11" Late 2010 Airport-Bluetooth Card. I am desperately trying to purchase new cables with female connectors to connect to the Card's male jacks. I ignore the size which is important: I tried MHF 4 too small, MHF 1 too big, so before buying wrong cables again I wonder if you can tell me what size is the Card's jack connection. I thank you for your help in advance.
