Roaring fan + super slow after Display/Lid replacement
Hi there,
Today I installed a brand new display/lid assembly using the guide here on iFixit. The laptop (besides the screen) was working fine before I attempted repairs, I had it plugged into an external monitor and all was working as normal. However after completing the replacement successfully (screen now 100% working) there is a new problem!
Upon turning the Air on the fan speed keeps increasing until it reaches max rpm (so loud!!) and the Yosemite loading bar crawls at an absolute snails pace (taking maybe 2-3 mins just to boot) but even the mouse cursor is extremely laggy etc.
I have read on another forum post (in that case the air had been liquid damaged) that it's an SSD issue, but my Air has had no liquid damage and was working normally before this repair!
Steps I have taken to try and solve the problem so far:
SMC reset
Removing cpu fan cable and reinserting into logic board
Removing ssd, wiping connector, socket + solder points with isopropyl and reinstalling onto logic board
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance :)
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

I'm like 3 years late but I had the same problem with a macbook pro 15 retina mid 2012 i7 2.3ghz and after disconnecting the camera cable the computer started working normal! Do I know why that happen? Well is APPLE!

@the fba Teen: I observed exactly the same !! After replacing the display my Macbook Pro 2015 13" was extremely slow. So I put back my old screen(with Isight!) and voila, Mac runs normal. Only with a disconnected Isight cable my Mac runs normal with the new display.
