I don’t see why steps 20 and 21 would be necessary.

info - Yanıt

Steps 20 and 21 are necessary, as there is a logic board screw slightly hidden underneath the Wireless Card, as you can see in Step 22.

Quinten Kilborn -

The isight cable in the top right corner: I don’t think yours is installed right, it shouldn’t be going over that rubber grommet, it should be going to the left. Your cable is all stretched. I don’t see why steps 20 and 21 would be necessary, except temporarily to remove the screw. Step 31: My inners are T9 and my outers are T10. Also, I wouldn’t rate this as a 3-bar difficult. There isn’t even anything glued in, you don’t need a heat gun or adhesive remover, no special tools besides the pentalobe bit are required. Estimated time 30-60 minutes.

I completed this process in hopes that I would have repaired a power button problem on this MacBook Air. This didn’t seem to work. Any other suggestions. Could it be the logic board? Just trying to find some answers. Wonderful step by step guide, though…Kudos to all involved.
