    • Slide the fan out of its slot to remove it.

    • Lift up the optical drive's vibration isolator to remove it.

    • The vibration isolator grips the sides of the optical drive with silicone pads, so you may need to "walk" the isolator off of the drive to slip it off each side.

    • During reassembly, ensure the vibration isolator is pushed down and around both edges of the optical drive, so it sits flush with the rest of the center chassis.

    • During reassembly, gently snap the metal locking tab back into place once the cable has been inserted.

    • Pull only on the pull tab, not the cable itself.

    • Pull only on the pull tab, not the cable itself.

    • Don't pull on the cable without depressing the metal tab, otherwise you risk damaging either the cable or the connector.

    • During reassembly, the cable should lightly "snap" into place when inserted.

    • Lift out the center chassis assembly to remove it from the shell.

    • Be very careful when lifting the cable where it connects to the board. Peel gently, and slide an opening pick under the cable if you're having trouble separating the adhesive.

    • Use your fingers to peel up the power button cable and fully separate it from the shell.

    • During reassembly, use thin double‑sided adhesive to secure the cable. If there's adhesive left and it's still sticky, you can reuse it. If you have a new cable, check it for pre‑installed adhesive and remove any liners.
