Hi guys! So, I have some troubles here. I recently accidentally ripped off the cable that was connecting the AirPort and Bluetooth connectors on the speaker unit part. I also found out that I have to remove the display as well because the wire goes through the hinges and stuffs. But, I have no idea how to replace them and how do go about it. So, I really hope that someone here could shed some light to me. I’d really appreciate it!
Hey Jeremiah, I’m a bit confused by your post, but here’s the three possibilities I can guess: If the cable simply came loose from the board, you should easily be able to reconnect the ribbon cable to the channel.If you damaged the actual cable itself, you can buy a replacement for $20 here on iFixit.If you damaged the channel itself on the board where the ribbon cable connects, then you’re probably out of luck in terms of repairing this yourself. For a more in-depth guide regarding the repair, reference this link: MacBook Unibody Model A1342 AirPort/Bluetooth Cable Replacement If you aren’t an experienced technician, always be sure to reference repair guides here on iFixit before attempting to repair/upgrade something yourself. Hope this helps! -Alex
