Bonsoir. Le tuto est très clair, mais je voudrais savoir s’il est applicable sur la version 15” du MBP 10. Amicalement, Marc.
It is not necessary to remove the camera cable connector (step 5) or the camera cable connector (step 10). Simply push the camera cable gently aside to remove one of the three screws securing the optical drive (step 11). Gently wiggle the optical drive from under the camera cable connector and go to step 12. Less chance of ruining your motherboard!

Absolutely. Leave it alone, you don’t need to run the risks of removing this cable, I did the replacement fine without it
