    • For certain repairs (e.g. hard drive), disconnecting the battery connector is not necessary but is recommended as it prevents any accidental shorting of electronics on the motherboard. If you do not disconnect the battery connector, please be careful as parts of the motherboard might be electrified.

    • Use the edge of a spudger to pry the battery connector upwards from its socket on the logic board.

    • It is useful to pry upward on both short sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket.

Great instructions - I am not an expert, and was able to change the hard drive cable in 25 minutes without issues. Thanks!

Followed these instructions and completed the changeover, probably took half hour. The final step with the ZIF connector I was unable to see exactly how it worked but managed with a bit of trial and error and things are now working. Perhaps a closer photo or perhaps a diagram as to how the connector works? But all in all things worked. Thanks

Is there any way to fix failed graphics card on MacBook Pro 2011. At this stage it’s looking like I have to trash the thing?
