Ambient Board
Note: The ambient board is attached to the enclosure with adhesive. Once you remove the

board. Replacement ambient boards come with adhesive already in place.
Tools
The only tools required for this procedure are a jeweler’s at-blade screwdriver.
Preliminary Steps
Before you begin, open the computer, lay it on its side with the access side facing up, and remove
the optical drive carrier and optical drives.
