Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the I/O board cable connector upward out of its socket on the I/O board.
-
-
-
Carefully peel the I/O board cable from the top of the fan.

-
Disconnect the I/O board by pulling the power cable away from its socket on the logic board.
-

Pull the camera cable parallel to the face of the I/O board toward the corner of the Air to disconnect it from its socket, using the tip of a spudger to help push the connector out of its socket.
-

Remove the single 3.6 mm T5 Torx screw securing the I/O board to the upper case.
When inserting new board, make sure the headphones jack socket rim is registered properly with the case hole before tightening T5 screw.

Remove the single 2.85 mm T5 Torx screw securing the SSD to the logic board.
-
-
-
Carefully remove the logic board assembly from the upper case, minding any cables that may get caught.
I also had an issue with the logic board installation as the above comment mentioned. I found easiest way is to just remove the speaker that you just re-installed. It's 1 screw - take that speaker out and now that wire that was bumping logic board is out of the way, and just then re-install the speaker.
When replacing the logic board, make sure the two rf connectors are out of the way before you put the screws back.

-
-
Gently de-route the antenna cables out of the channel cut into the upper case.

Removing the logic board is completely unnecessary and you risk damaging more components. Follow steps 1-3, 11, 20-22, 26, 30-34. Obviously be careful not to damage the board when you are actually taking the display off.
Beau is correct . It isn't necessary at all to remove the logic board. Steps 1-3, 11, 20-22, 26, 30-34 are all that needs to be done.
Excellent guide, however, I would like to note that removing the logic board is completely unnecessary. In the process of doing so, I ended up breaking my right speaker socket from the logic board. The simpler method is to just unscrew the display hinge, antenna, and isight cable, then remove and replace display.
Just did it following the shortened instructions…. doable, but not for the faint of heart. Thank you iFixIt. Repair is noble and a MacBook Air 13 inch late 2010 is back on duty. My daughter is over the moon.
Used this guide to switch the displays of two identical Macbooks, very in depth, very useful knowledge on the late 2010 MBA.
Hat hervorragend geklappt. Vielen Dank.
I did it with the shortened steps. For reassembly I positioned the bottom case with logic board on a large enough cardboard box so that the screen assembly could hang at 90 degrees. This allowed me to insert the shims properly.
Agree with the previous comment. This task requires only the antennae, camera, and video to be disconnected. The only fiddly bit is disengaging and then reconnecting the hinges...with the shims. Having the case horizontal and supporting the screen makes it much easier, unless you were born with 4 arms.
