    Great tutorial. I updated my mid 2012 MAC and figured since it would be open, I may as well apply new thermal paste. Great tutorial! Thanks a million!

    Hi, thanks a lot for the tutorial, it was so usefull. My mbp temp was ramping sky high.
    Just an observation, on the assembly process, the T6 screw on the middle right of the mainboard is misplaced. Check 2:37 vs 6:06. Another thing, is always a good practice to start disconnecting the battery line.

    Hello! I just followed your instructions - thanks so much for making this video. Everything's great except my battery isn't working anymore ( though I can still power it up and use it via mains power). What could I have done? I've triple-checked to see that I've reconnected the battery and battery life indicator correctly. I'm also not getting any battery life indicator on the side... :/

    It turned out quite easy as I tried it. Reconnecting the DC power cable under the logic board and aligning the board was a challenge for me. I got through, it's fine. The laptop performed faster, it's subtle but you can tell there is a difference. things load a bit faster and satisfying.

    Thanks for the video! I'm nervous but I'm going to try it. I figure it's worth a try as the throttling notebook is very frustrating to use as is. I ordered tools and paste. should be here midweek and then I'm jumping in feet first, Thanks!

      OK! I did it and it worked so far. Yeah baby! Thanks. I notice that mac's fan control reports the cpu as running hotter than before I changed the thermal paste but I've had the MBP on and plugged in and it's working great. No throttling! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!

    • @GRIBSOFT

      Great! To be honest on an older book like a 2012 I would manually blast the fan on max with fan control form the downloads section at appledollars.com to get best performance.

    I am down to prying out the logic board, I managed to hear "popping" from the tape on the microphone but the board won't budge. It slides and rotates, but at the top near the DC in the board, it just doesn't come up. I don't want to end up breaking it, any tips? I've also ensured all cables and screws are undone.
