MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2015 AirPort/Camera Cables Replacement

Step 1 AirPort/Camera Cables




• Use a spudger or tweezers to pry the three AirPort antenna cables straight up off of their sockets on the AirPort board, and bend them up and out of the way.
• The cable connection points are very fragile. Be careful to lift only on the connector, and not on the socket or cable.
• To reconnect, align the connector carefully into position over the socket, and press it down firmly with the flat of your spudger.

Step 3
• Use the tip of a spudger to push the camera cable connector out of its socket on the logic board.
• Be sure to push parallel to the board, pushing first on one side, then the other to "walk" the connector out of its socket.

Step 4
• Use your fingers to pull the AirPort/Camera cables up off the fan.
• The cables are adhered to the fan, so peel them up carefully to avoid damaging them.
• Carefully de-route the cables from the plastic cable guide.
• On reassembly, there should be enough adhesive still on these cables to stick them back down to the fan.
