    Es ist nicht erforderlich, IO-Board, Akku und Logic-Board auszubauen. Es genügt, die Antennen- das Kamera- und das Displaykabel zu entfernen und die Scharniere abzumontieren. Die Kabel können leicht an den vorhandenen Komponenten vorbeigezogen werden.

    • The following connector has an especially deep socket. Use care when disconnecting it.

    • While gently pulling the I/O board cable upward near its connection to the logic board, use the tip of a spudger to pry upward on alternating sides of the connector to help "walk" it out of its socket.

Plugging the fan back in is a huge pain in the ass, do you have a tip for that?

Robert Westman - Responder

I screwed up and my fan cable ZIF socket lifted out. I destroyed it trying to solder it back on. Can I buy a replacement?

Janine Maddock - Responder

This is actually an interesting question. I was looking into this issue and watched most of your video and the fan did not spin up and everything was quiet and perfect. If I watch a youtube video, it spins up like crazy. Any suggestions?

Jerry Garcia - Responder

I broke the latch on the ZIF connector. Brittle plastic. :-( What can I do to get the new fan to receive power?
