Preliminary Steps
Before you begin, run the computer until warm (if possible) to help soften the thermal
material on the logic board, then shut it down and remove the following:
• Battery
• Top case
• Right ambient light sensor board and lens cover, if present
Note: It may be helpful to remove the optical drive and hard drive to reduce the number of
cables to control when replacing the logic board, if desired.
Procedure
Warning: Flexing of the logic board can break solder joints to parts. To prevent
damage to the board, guard against flexing.
1. Disconnect the cables shown.
