Intro

Is guide me hum seekhenge kaise MacBook Pro 13″ Early 2011 model ka AirPort/Bluetooth board replace kiya jaata hai.
Yeh board Wi-Fi aur Bluetooth dono handle karta hai. Agar aapko wireless connection issue aa raha hai, toh yeh repair helpful ho sakta hai.
Thoda patience aur sahi tools rakhna zaroori hai.

Tools Needed

  • Phillips #00 screwdriver

  • T6 Torx screwdriver

  • Spudger (plastic pry tool)

  • Tweezers (optional, small parts ke liye)

  • Anti-static working surface

Step 1 — Lower Case Screws Remove Karo

  • MacBook ko band karo aur ulta rakho.

  • 10 screws nikaalo jo bottom cover ko hold karte hain:

    • 7 short screws (3 mm)

    • 3 long screws (13.5 mm)

  • Screw sizes alag rakhna mat bhoolo taaki mix-up na ho jaaye.

Step 2 — Lower Case Nikaalo

  • Bottom panel ko thoda sa rear side (hinge side) ki taraf slide karo.

  • Mounting clips release hone ke baad lower case ko gently lift karke hatao.

Step 3 — Battery Disconnect Karo

  • Electrical short se bachne ke liye battery connector ko logic board se disconnect karo.

  • Spudger ka flat end use karke connector ko upar lift karo, bas thoda sa — zyada force mat lagao.

Step 4 — Fan Remove Karo

  1. Fan connector ko spudger se logic board se upar pry karo.

  2. Ab 3 screws nikaalo:

    • 1 x 7 mm T6 Torx

    • 2 x 5.4 mm T6 Torx

  3. Fan ko gently lift karke nikaal lo.

    • Dhyaan rahe — cable ya socket damage mat ho.

Step 5 — Camera Cable Disconnect Karo

  • Camera cable logic board ke upper side pe hota hai.

  • Iske connector ko optical drive direction me kheench kar disconnect karo — upar se nahi kheenchna.

  • Socket ko bend ya damage mat karo, delicate hota hai.

Step 6 — Subwoofer Remove Karo

  1. Subwoofer ke screws nikaalo:

    • 2 x 3.2 mm Phillips

  2. Spudger se subwoofer aur right speaker connector ko logic board se upar pry karo.

  3. Subwoofer ko thoda side me shift kar lo (poora nikaalne ki zarurat nahi).

Step 7 — Optical Drive Remove Karo

  1. Optical drive ke screws nikaalo:

    • 3 x 4 mm Phillips

  2. SATA cable aur any connectors gently disconnect karo.

  3. Optical drive ko lift karke nikaal lo.

    • Dhyaan rahe — connectors ya ribbon cable fold mat ho.

Step 8 — AirPort/Bluetooth Board Access

  • AirPort/Bluetooth board optical drive ke neeche mounted hota hai.

  • Ab aapko teen antenna cables dikhengi — unhe carefully disconnect karna hai:

    • Main (Wi-Fi)

    • Aux (Wi-Fi)

    • Bluetooth

Tip: Antenna connectors ko seedha upar lift karo, side se nahi — damage ho sakta hai.

Step 9 — AirPort/Bluetooth Board Remove Karo

  1. Ek T6 Torx screw nikaalo jo board ko bracket se hold karta hai.

  2. Board ko thoda sa angle karke upar lift karo aur cable se gently disconnect karo.

  3. Board ko nikaal kar side me rakh lo.

Step 10 — Replacement Board Install Karo

  1. Nayi AirPort/Bluetooth board ko same orientation me lagao.

  2. Cable ko connector me slide karke fit karo.

  3. Screw wapas lagao taaki board tight ho jaaye.

  4. Teen antenna wires wapas unke matching sockets me press karo:

    • Black to “Main”

    • Grey to “Aux”

    • Blue to “Bluetooth”

Step 11 — Reassembly

  • Sab kuch reverse order me assemble karo:

    • Optical drive lagao

    • Subwoofer aur fan reconnect karo

    • Battery connector connect karo

    • Lower case lagakar screws tight karo

  • System power on karke Wi-Fi aur Bluetooth test karo.

Tips

  • Har screw ke size aur location note karna useful hota hai.

  • Metal tools directly board pe use mat karo.

  • Static electricity se bachne ke liye grounded surface pe kaam karo.

  • Antenna connectors bahut delicate hote hain — sirf vertical pressure lagao.
