Apple technician guide for the nMP

[Gav Mack]

I am shortly going to tear down a black can for a horsepower transplant, I wondered if there was any kind apple tech able to send me a copy via pm as I can't seem to find a searchable PDF on the web and my usual source is off sick from work for about a month!

How about a video from OWC?

Speaking as a ACMT, the Apple Service Guide for the nMP calls for a bunch of parts to cradle the system and components a certain way, and some specialized hand tools to disassemble the system. Without them, the guide will be a bit useless.

I'd just go by what iFixit has for a real-world tear down.

Gav Mack, I'd also recommend that you get yourself an anti-static wriststrap first.

P.S. Take a look at this thread - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1722809/ .

I'd heard that was the case about the cradle - its things like the recommended order of tightening sequences that I would find the service guide really handy along with the thermal paste policy and type. Plus it's the only one missing in my set

Won't the copper heating pipe and my rubber floor mat suffice

Cheers for that info Tutor - there was always going to be an AS-5 comparison coming with with this far cheaper version of OWC's Xeon upgrades

I also would love to have the technician guide.
