Introduction

Internal Prereq for when the solid-state drive is removed.

  1. 5EZoVMZG5EtMrRmb

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the I/O board cable up from its socket on the I/O board.

  2. mGfOb32OJKAR1QeL

    • Peel the I/O board cable up from the adhesive securing it to the fan.

    I did not peel the I/O board connector, it is not needed to be peeled away securing it to the fan.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the I/O board connector up and out of its socket on the logic board

    • Be sure to lift straight up on the connector as you disconnect it from its socket. The socket is very deep on the logic board and prying it from side to side may damage the logic board

    • Remove the I/O board cable.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
