When you buy it from apple, do they pre-program it for your logic board?

How does one buy it from apple directly?

How can you buy one from Apple?

The screen snaps into place, go around the edges to pop it loose

The hinges cannot be lifted without them bending the plastic of the case (the part with the keyboard). You must lift the top case along with the hinges, then once they’re nearly perpendicular you can separate the two pieces, though you’ll want to have de-routed the wifi cables and the one next to it (camera, I believe) first.

The connector on the top right mentioned in my previous post is for the speakers

The fan connector on the one I was working on was in a different location, below the fan near the battery connector

Don’t do this, just lift the board from the left side and lift it away to the left

There’s a few errors/omissions here. There is no screw where the red circle notes on the bottom right, it is actually top left and not circled in red. There is also a connector on the top right that needs to be disconnected just to the right of the LCD connector highlighted in the orange box. Finally, I needed to disconnect the wifi cables and remove the screw affixing the card to the case in order to remove the board (the wifi card connects to a slot beneath the board, rather stupidly).

Using a brand new Wiha kit (which I needed to order because I lacked the needed T1 for step 25), the screws were T3, a T4 was too big.

Looks like that link died, could you upload it somewhere else? Thanks
