|---|---|
| + | [* icon_note] Note: in the first image, the WiFi card is still in place, but it needs to be removed before the motherboard can be removed. See step 8 for that process. |
| + | [* black] There are five cables that must be removed. Two are standard plugs (highlighted in orange: the charging cable (top), and the speakers (bottom)) and three are locking ribbon cables (highlighted in pink (from left: power button, trackpad, keyboard)). |
| + | [* icon_caution] Be very careful with the locking ribbon cables! It's easy to pull them off the motherboard entirely! If you're not comfortable removing these, look up a video or other instruction set for how to handle these. |
| + | [* black] There are then four Phillips screws (red circles) that need to be removed. |
| + | [* black] Finally, the motherboard can be removed. USE CAUTION! Pull it up away from the machine slightly, and then slide it away from the hinge. It should come out easily. |
