Remove the soft padding that may be on top and gently pull the connector up out of its socket on the logic board.

Pull the camera cable connector toward the optical drive to disconnect it from the logic board.
I just completed this replacement and there is no need to do this step, you can work around this cable pretty easily. Obviously you need to be careful "dancing" around it. But it's perfectly feasible and you don't risk to break stuff disconnecting it.

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the optical drive connector straight up off the logic board.

Remove the following screws securing the subwoofer to the upper case:
-
One 3.8 mm Phillips screw
-
One 5 mm Phillips screw
On my computer, the 3.8 mm screw was near the midpoint of the subwoofer (left-to-right in the photo) and near the bottom. The 5 mm screw was top right of the subwoofer.

Lift the subwoofer off the optical drive, and set it above the computer.

Remove the two 10 mm Phillips screws securing the camera cable bracket to the upper case.
-
Lift the camera cable bracket out of the upper case.

-
Remove the three 2.5 mm Phillips screws securing the optical drive to the upper case.
-
Lift the optical drive from its right edge and pull it out of the computer.
Install 2 outside screws first and then single inside screw to allow wiggle room to get outside screws in. Do not tighten screws until all are started.

Bonsoir. Le tuto est très clair, mais je voudrais savoir s’il est applicable sur la version 15” du MBP 10. Amicalement, Marc.
It is not necessary to remove the camera cable connector (step 5) or the camera cable connector (step 10). Simply push the camera cable gently aside to remove one of the three screws securing the optical drive (step 11). Gently wiggle the optical drive from under the camera cable connector and go to step 12. Less chance of ruining your motherboard!

Absolutely. Leave it alone, you don’t need to run the risks of removing this cable, I did the replacement fine without it

It does indeed come out of the connector, but the picture makes it hard to see how; the connector it goes into sits on top of the board—however, I, too, ripped mine off the board trying to remove it; I only got it out of the clip after I tore it off. SIMPLY DONT; it's unnecessary. I plan to solder it back if one of my Robotics club friends lets me borrow a soldering iron.

Alors je déconseille très fortement de toucher ce connecteur, il est extrêmement fragile. De plus, cela n’a pas d’incidence sur la suite des opérations

The author needs to go back through this guide and correct lots of order mistakes. The fan was removed in steps 3-5 yet it’s still being shown installed in steps 19-22.

The 4-pin push connector for the sub-woofer is near impossible to reconnect
It mates with a female connector that sits on top of 4 tiny solder points (it's held on by a spot of glue, I believe), and when applying ANY pressure to connect, the side clip(s) will snap off. Then the connector itself will become unglued. It would be simple enough to connect the 2 parts, then place a drop of glue on the logic board after positioning it above the solder points, but the female connector broke apart in my hand. So now screwed, with no way to connect sub/ R speaker without installing another logic board. Fan connector looks to be exactly the same
