    • The fan socket and the fan connector can be seen in the second and third pictures. Be careful not to break the plastic fan socket off the logic board as you use your spudger to lift the fan connector straight up and out of its socket. The layout of the logic board shown in the second picture may look slightly different than your machine but the fan socket is the same.

    • The camera cable connector is not secured by any locking or snapping mechanism. Hence, Apple sticks a small strip of black plastic with adhesive applied to the side facing the logic board behind the camera cable connector to keep it in its socket.

    • When moving the strip (cable retainer) out of the way, be sure not to break any surface-mounted components off the logic board.

    • Hold the end of the cable retainer down with one finger while you use the tip of a spudger to slightly lift the other end and rotate it away from the camera cable connector.

    • Disconnect the camera cable by pulling the male end straight away from its socket.

    • Pull the connector parallel to the face of the logic board, not straight up.

    • Do not press down on the screws excessively while breaking them free.

    • Carefully lift the heat sink off the logic board.

    • If the heat sink appears to be stuck to the logic board after removing all eight screws, it may be helpful to use a spudger to separate the two components.

    • If you need to mount the heat sink back into the laptop, we have a thermal paste guide that makes replacing the thermal compound easy.

I did use a common flathead screwdriver for 5-point and 6-point screws. It' worked well.

Thank you very much for this guide !

I just used this guide to pull out my logic board and clean about 6 years of dust out. Also was able to take apart the fans and throw a little bit of wd40 on the axels. We are back to whisper quiet computing and about 10-15 degrees cooler.
