    2 Using a black stick, 
    pry the shim from the 
    logic board and set 
    it aside. If you don’t 
    remove the shim 
    prior to removing 
    the cable, you could 
    damage the logic 
    board and/or the 
    camera cable.

    video.

    included with a 
    replacement logic 
    board.
