    • Continue releasing the last plastic clips with your hands taking care not to break any of the plastic elements attached to the base.

    • Use a philips screwdriver to remove the 5 screws securing the metal heat sink. On Rev A (A1469) you need a T7 srewdriver

    • Disconnect the power supply connector from the logic board with a spudger.

    Below the power supply connector is another small 2 pin connector which must be removed as well (I just do not know how), else the board cannot be lifted. On the second picture it is already removed, so here is clearly a step missing here.
