the flat end of a spudger, gently pry the battery connector straight up out of
its socket on the logic board. Bend the battery cables back and out of the way,
ensuring that the battery connector doesn't accidentally make contact with the
logic board.
AirPort/Camera
Cable
Use
the tip of a spudger to pry the three AirPort antenna cables straight up off of
their sockets on the AirPort board. Use the tip of a spudger to push the camera
cable connector out of its socket on the logic board. Be sure to push parallel
to the board, pushing first on one side, then the other to "walk" the
connector out of its socket.
Insert
the flat end of a spudger underneath the rubber heat sink cover on the right
fan.
Slide
the spudger underneath the length of the cover, releasing the adhesive.

cables are adhered to the fan, so peel them up carefully to avoid damaging
them. Carefully de-route the cables from the plastic cable guide.
I/O
Board Cable
Using
the flat end of a spudger, pry the I/O Board connector straight up out of its
