• Always power down your device prior to working on it
• The 10 P5 bottom case screws are two lengths, with the two short 2.3 mm screws at the hinge end. Track your screws on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop, as several screws look alike but are different lengths
• The heat sink comes off, so clean off the old thermal paste and apply fresh paste before refitting it
• The three AirPort antenna plugs are fragile. Lift each one straight up by its head, never by the cable. On refit, the long-sleeve cable goes in the centre socket, the short-sleeve cable next to the screw and the bare cable next to the fan
• The I/O cable bracket and the I/O board are held by T5 screws, plus one 3.5 mm T8 standoff. Unplug the I/O cable at both ends with a spudger
• Move the AirPort card across: one 2.7 mm T5 screw, then pull it straight out of its socket with tweezers
• Check the old board is printed 820-00012. The Late 2013 and Mid 2014 board (820-3539-A) looks similar but is a different part
