Amazing guide, finished in under 3 hours for less than $300!
Step 21, be careful when de-routing the wifi cables. Ensure they are Well away from the logic board when you remove it. The connectors appear to be little more than pushed onto the aerial wires and they can become EASILY separated from the cables if not fully pulled AWAY.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Yep! I was warned but managed to pull one off anyway!Why are they so impossible to put back on? I bought a replacement cable and swapped them over. Getting that bezel off was a little stressful.
But thanks A Goldberg for the guide. Invaluable.
Hello Andrew, congratulations for the amazing guide! Wonderful job!
I need help trying to understand what's happening with a similar model which turns on only when he wants :)
I disassembled all of it and found nothing wrong, although it still shows the same behaviour. When it turns on (rarely), it works pretty fine, but randomly reboots sometimes. I suspect that there's something wrong with the switch key inside the display part, with some faulty electrical contact. I was trying to remove the black plastic bar below the "MacBook Air" label, but it seems to break if I force it.
My questions are: How can I remove this black bar without breaking it? Is it possible instead to remove first one of the display hinges to remove the black bar by sliding it to the side? Is there any way at all to make sure that the problem is not with the switch key inside it? Unfortunatelly I don't have a spare display to test it :(
I know it can be difficult to solve, but I appreciate any help if you have!
Thanks in advance!
So, I found this mac in an e-waste pile, and the display is broken. Handling 10.7 drivers, and I want to get the screen back... Although Macs are all about pretty (and I like pretty, too), if I'm not looking for pretty, and I can just put the screen on top of the broken one, can't I just unplug the data cable for the LCD, plug the new one back in and then do everything I need to do? Two screens isn't *half* as bad as one. I'm just asking to sum it up, remove data cable to screen one, attach it to another working screen, and bam? No? Yes? Plz, I really want to know. Alternatively, someone please write a guide on how to remotely make a monitor mirror a screen? That would be great! And thanks to the people that understood my subtle joke.
