    • In this step you will disconnect the battery to help avoid shorting out any components during service.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.

    • Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally bend back and make contact with its socket.

    • We recommend you gently "walk" the connector out of its socket.

    • If the heat sink seems to be stuck to the logic board after removing all four screws, use a spudger to carefully separate the heat sink from the face of the CPU.

    • Remove the heat sink from the logic board.

    • When reinstalling the heat sink, be sure to apply a new layer of thermal paste. If you have never applied thermal paste before, we have a guide that makes it easy.

Hello. When I tried to reinstall the IO board, I noticed that the sounds werent detected. The microphone too. The connectors were installed. Then when i plug the magsafe charger, power source is power adapter, but not charging. The USB port doesnt detect any flashdrives.

What may seem to be the problem and how can I fix it? Thank you. I’m on my last 80% battery life. Please help.
