    Replacement
    1 Make sure thermal 
    pad is centered on 
    AirPort Card rather 
    than stuck to display 
    assembly tab. 
    2 Important: Check the 
    AirPort cable At the 
    end of the cable, on 
    the metal part, there 
    are two grounding 
    fingers (two U-shaped 
    marks). Orient the 
    grounding fingers so 
    they are facing the 
    AirPort card and are 
    in contact with the 
    AirPort card 
    connector. The 
    grounding fingers 
    should NOT be facing 
    you. Inserting the 
    cable incorrectly will 
    cause logic board 
    failure!
    Caution: When 
    testing an AirPort 
    card connection, wait 
    at least 5 seconds 
    after shutdown 
    before connecting 
    the camera cable 
    connection to the 
    logic board. Waiting 
    less than that could 
    damage the AirPort 
    card.

    connector. Set shim 
    aside.
    Note: If you don’t 
    remove the shim 
    prior to disconnecting 
    the cable, you could

    connector.

    bend logic board pins 
    and cause the system 
    to not detect a disc 
    when inserted.
    6 Lift optical drive out.
