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

Step 1 AirPort/Camera Cables




• Disconnect the three AirPort antenna cable connectors from their sockets on the AirPort board and bend them up and out of the way.
• Be careful to pry against the connector, and not the cable or socket.
Step 2



• Peel the right rubber cover up off the fan and fold it out of the way.
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.
