Although my upper case installation went perfect and my macbook Air never operated better all of the sudden my mouse pad , the part that clicks somehow started to respond slow and now takes more tan one or two clicks to register but I do not think it's your fault. If you have any suggestions on how to make it work better it would be appreciated, maybe If I tried to clean it out with isopropyl alcohol to clean it, it might help.

Kind Regards, It was fun fixing my macbook air.

Also It would have helpful to have a few extra small screws as I stripped one in the display to top case connection.

it is possible to remove the motherboard without removing the fan and heat sink.

just remove the red screw on step 14.

then you can skip step 15 and 17

and take of the motherboard at step 25 with fan and heat sink attached.

after that there is no need for thermal paste.

I would say 2 things. First, you will need the exact match of the model (for example A1237) plus the rest of the product specific (exact year of make). For example my model is A1237 but the upper case I bought didn't quite match especially the locations of the inner screws. I could not fit 6No screws back in when reassembling together. Without these screws the macbook air was put together and working ok but if you have a choice you want to get the exact match product. Secondly, screws. Some screws just won't come off. First thing you need a good screwdriver to unscrew a very tight and some are forced into position when assembled in factory. If you cannot take them out, take it to a computer guru who has the right hand. Seriously. I had problem with 3No screws they just won't come off. I forced it and damaged the screws. Luckily a specialist helped me to unscrew them and he told me that it's a known problem on macbook air. Other than that the replacement of the upper case was pleasantly done.

Worked Perfectly! Thank you!

These intructions worked great. I ended up not taking off the cooling fan and then heat sink which saved a lot of time and I think reduced the risk of me screwing something up. Thanks!!!!1
