Add Note Edit Step 7  ¶ 

  • Lift the DC-In board out of the computer by pulling up and away from you.

  • If you don't have a 667 MHz computer, there is a fan in this location which makes it a bit difficult to remove the DC-In board.

  • If there is a fan present, rotate the DC-In board slightly clockwise before easing it out at a slight angle in order to clear the fan clamp on top of it.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
