Einleitung

Internal prerequisite.

    • Disconnect the I/O board by pulling the power cable away from its socket on the logic board.

    • Pull the cable parallel to the face of the logic board toward the front edge of the Air.

    • Use the tip of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the retaining flap on the trackpad ribbon cable ZIF socket.

    • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, not the socket itself.

    • Pull the trackpad ribbon cable straight out of its socket toward the front edge of the Air.

  3. 4YXgMPRjKN55Aofn

    • Use the tip of a spudger to de-route the right speaker cable from the slot cut into the logic board.

  4. sMhymXPCDhXkgdFr

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the right speaker cable connector up and out of its socket on the logic board.

    • Pry up from beneath the cables.

    • Gently push the tip of a spudger under the black plastic flap stuck to the display data cable lock to make the lock pop upward and away from the socket.

    • While holding the lock away from the socket, use the tip of a spudger and your fingers to gently remove the display data cable from its socket.

    • Do not pull upward on the display data cable as you disconnect it, as its socket may break off the logic board.

    • Remove the small rubber gasket from the corner of the upper case near the display data cable.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both antenna cable connectors up and off their sockets on the AirPort/Bluetooth card.

    Heads up when replacing a late 2010 display with a 2011 or later... On later model Airs the wifi card orientation changed, which causes two issues: 1) the antenna cables are longer on the newer displays, so you have excess wire to deal with, 2) On 2010 displays the longer wire goes on the antenna port closer to the battery, on 2011 and later displays the longer cable goes on the port further from the battery (flip-flopped). If you switch them up, your wifi reception will be terrible

    • Gently de-route the antenna cables from the slot cut into the logic board.

  9. KrWY3eA6ytSr2iSU

    • Remove the three 3.6 mm T5 Torx screws securing the logic board to the upper case.

  10. ejhEnHjFeOpUY4MN

    • Gently lift the logic board assembly out of the upper case, minding the fragile heat sink and any cables that may get caught.

Abschluss
