ok I decided to stop disassembly at that point and plugged in the cable. I then reassemble the air and booted up to check the screen. all I got was some lines across the screen and then it went out. At that point I decided to replace the screen I received from Ifixit and rebooted the system again and voila! there was my computer. I did make a boo boo though I damaged the blower connection and had to order a new one :(. I was surprised the system booted up to show me the screen worked. I had to shut off before I overheated the cpu. Thanks for the response guys. Is it usually that hard to get that blower connection to connect? Yep I unlock the clip.
I did the same thing I broke the retaining flap. I posted for assistance at this site a while back but I have had no answer. Is the retaining flap a replaceable item? I ordered a new fan thinking with would come included but nada
