Step 11
¶
-
Flip the frame and then rotate it 180 degrees so that the speakers are facing you.
-
Be careful with this sequence of steps, as the thermal sensor (and its connector) are VERY frail.
-
Use a spudger to gently disconnect the thermal sensor from the hard drive.
-
Peel back the black tape and free the double-stranded wire from the drive.
-
Gently deroute the wire from the small notch on the frame (third picture).
-
Make sure that the thermal sensor remains connected to the interconnect board.
Edit
Step 12
¶
-
Unplug the interconnect board from the hard drive.
-
The interconnect board is still held in place by other connectors. Make sure that the they are not separated from the interconnect board.
-
Remove the four Phillips screws that hold the drive in place.
-
The stock hard drive can now be removed.
Edit
Step 14
¶
-
Secure the thermal sensor to the new hard drive. The original adhesive on the back of the thermal sensor should hold the sensor in place.
-
Reuse the black tape from the old drive to secure the thermal sensor wire to the new drive.
-
Your newly-installed drive should look very similar to the third picture.
Edit
Step 15
¶
-
Flip over the internal framework with the newly attached drive. It should look like the first picture
-
Prepare the bottom housing for connection with the internal framework by connecting the antenna cables to the Broadcom AirPort card as shown
-
Arranging the antennas as pictured will ensure a smooth connection of the two large components
-
-
When setting the internal framework into the bottom housing, make sure the male connector on the interconnect board finds its way into the female connector on the logic board
Edit
Step 16
¶
-
Snap the antenna boards back into their respective posts.
-
Tape the upper right antenna cable to the side of the internal framework (circled in green).
-
Route the bottom left antenna cable through the guides on the internal framework (marked in yellow).
-
Connect the orange ribbon cable from the interconnect board to the sound card (indicated in red).
