    • Carefully remove the rubber fan bumper from the edge of the heat sink.

    • The bumper is gently held in place by the lips in the third image which wrap under the heat sink. There is no adhesive, so removal and reseating should be easy.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to push on either side of the the iSight camera cable connector to walk it out of its socket on the logic board.

    • The cable connector is small and delicate, so make sure to nudge it out a little bit at a time from each side, alternating until it is fully out. A spudger or tweezers are ideal for this.

    • Peel the iSight camera cable off the fan housing to fold it out of the way.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pop the I/O board connector straight up off its socket on the logic board.

    • Lift the logic board end of the I/O board cable straight up to bend it out of the way.

    • To avoid damage to the cable, fold only at the bend in the I/O board end of the cable. It will only be in the way momentarily, so don't try forcing it to stay.

    • Remove the following screws securing the fan assembly cover to the rest of the assembly:

    • One 5.0 mm T5 Torx screw.

    • This screw holds the upper case, main fan assembly, and fan assembly together, and so must be removed.

    • 3 Phillips #000 screws.

    • The bottom right screw is just under the I/O board cable, and will be visible after it has been lifted out of the way.
