    • Use a spudger or tweezers to pry the three AirPort antenna cables straight up off of their sockets on the AirPort board.

    • The cable connection points are 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.

  6. MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2014 Logic Board Replacement: paso 6, imagen 1 de 1

    • Use the tip of a spudger to push the camera cable's plug toward the fan and out of its socket on the logic board.

    • The plug in the photo has six connections, but some models have twelve connections. The process of removing the plug from its socket is the same for both.

    • If the camera cable's plug won't come easily out of its socket on the logic board, fold back the rubber cover over the fan to gain access to the cable, then gently pull on the cable while using the spudger to gently push the plug out of its socket.

    • Be sure to push parallel to the board, first on one side, then the other, to slowly "walk" the plug out of its socket. Do not pry up, or you will damage the socket.

There's lots of mentioning of pulling and prying things out of sockets. Do they connect back on easily or require adhesive or anything? Could the logic board be reinstalled without any extra tools (keeping CPU in)?

Excellent tutorial, I completed it with ease. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to remove the logic board in a methodical manner. Thank you so much!!

When replacing the logic board it is actually not neccessary to disconnect the WiFi antenna connectors from the board. It is far easier to leave the very small and fragile connectors in place, as you are required to remove the entire WiFi board and install it on the new logic board anyway. This saves you the fear of breaking off RF connectors.

Ok, so I decided to clean the fans of my out of warranty MacBook Pro mid 2014 15". Before doing anything (like disassembling the fans) I disconnected the battery connector and started the cleaning (with a very soft brush). I accidentally misplaced the screws on the left fan by putting 4.4 mm T5 Torx screw in place of the 3.9 mm T5 Wide Head Torx screw. Now the mac looks dead. No light on the magsafe, no power on no nothing.

Does anyone know if the threads for the screw go all the way out of the motherboard or i just destroyed some layer of the motherboard ?

Please let me know ANYONE i'm desperate!

Hey! Same thing happened to me. Were you able to figure what happened?
