Reinstallation Tips
  • Make sure to re-wrap the Antenna/iSight cables back with some tape. If your replacement part did not include any, reuse the one you took off. My replacement part came with tape, but I still put a bit of Kapton tape around the black tape to completely close the fold.

  • The new antenna hopefully came with the small grounding straps that go around the cables, and get screwed in on the far-right of the display. If they didn't, you'll need to remove them from the old antenna.

  • Insert the replacement board starting with the far-left side. Once inserted, the board should sit loosely in the grooves of the display.

  • When installing the new antenna, first screw in one of the six center screws -- that will help align the far-left screw over its hole.

  • Be very careful when reinstalling the plastic cover for the antenna. Mine was already brittle and crumbling, and I had to super-glue some pieces together after reassembly.
