Hey guys just got a a1466 with a 820-00165-a board in it.
It has the wrong screw in the fan where the short one goes... has anyone had this and what can It affect?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Just got broken screw support for fan on the MLB?
Can you send a close picture?
If you talk about the smallest screw, which fixes the heatpipe on the shell, forget it; is not really needed.
Better not to fix it, or you can damage wireless antena cables.
You don't have the screw at all, or what happened?
Should be good enough if fan is fixed in the other two screws.
I always change it with the smallest one from heatpipe and use the original for the logic boards when need it.
