Remove the motherboard
  • 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.

  • 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)).

  • 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.

  • There are then four Phillips screws (red circles) that need to be removed.

  • 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.
