Rev.b 9400m Logic Board in rev.a MacBook Air?
Has anyone successfully done this? From what I can see, the only real difference is the hard drive connector (SATA) and a slightly modified heatsink.

There are a few differences to account for:
- The multitouch cable connector on the upper case has been relocated in the Rev.b machines, which makes connection difficult.
- The black shielding on the lower case is slightly different. This may or may not affect compatibility.
- The audio board is not compatible between models. You would need the correct audio board and cable for the appropriate logic board.
- The hard drive connector, as you noted, is different and must be worked around.
- The fan/heat sink are 2 separate pieces in Rev.b.
- The airport/bluetoo
th cable is slightly different as well.
I haven't actually performed the swap; these are just the physical differences.
Good luck!
