Warning: Whenever the logic board is separated from the heatsink, you must remove all existing thermal material and install new thermal material to the heatsink at the three locations shown above. Failure to do so can cause the computer to overheat and be damaged.

Important: If a replacement logic board comes with thermal pads installed, you will only need to install Thermal Gel (922-5929) to the center surface of the heatsink.
