Kit

My AirPort started doing the same thing, and a few days later, completely stopped working. I just replaced the PSU and updated firmware, but the flashing yellow light with warning came up for a moment. I've cleaned the fan and it is working perfectly. I suspect there is a firmware/software issue that Apple hasn't identified yet. Update (12/21/2016): I replaced the PSU and cleaned i did a factory reset and re-updated, but all to no avail. It now works OK for a time, then signals overheating, then the fan revs up to full speed which then cools it down. This cycle repeats. I also separated and enlarged the vents for in-coming and out-going air, so perhaps it's just a buggy example.

Touching this screw is unnecessary.

Removing the bracket is completely unnecessary. Simply remove the top three screws on each bracket, and slide the trackpad out.

I’m still not clear on how exactly the keyboards are different - all the snark got in the way, but quite bemused by the ‘angry owl’!

I did both L and R with subwoofer, no troubles. Thanks for the Parts 2, iFixit!!

Done! No troubles - thanks for the parts, iFixit!

Another irrelevant SS reference. How about Huawei? They are bigger than the slowly dying SS. You guys being paid for placement?

What’s the reason for the perpetual yet irrelevant Samsung references?

I love iFixit!

I managed to bend the casing out when opening, but bent it back in shape after re-opening. The bend was small, but noticable. Worth reopening it.

One issue - the battery doesn't fully recharge in one go. I have to reconnect the iPod to get it to full charge.

Just replaced the back panel, installed home button mechanism and new battery - all went just as planned except...

I beheaded the battery connector screw! It all works at the moment. SO nice having the home button working properly again.

I also trapped the rear cable under the screen - I used a flathead screwdriver to push the fold through the slot. And the replacement back panel is not to Apple's original standards, but clean and clear none the less.

Great work iFixit!!!
