Fan cable clamp latch

Hi everyone

It's my first time working on a laptop :) (or any kind of computers really) it's a MacBook Pro 2020 (I know its not the best device to start with).

I had it since 2020 and it's always running hot, and after doing some research I figured that the thermal paste might be the issue so I tried to reapply it myself.

Everything was going well until the very end :') , and I accidentally unclipped the fan cable clamp latch (went flying) >> found it after an hour >> tried to put it back >> went flying again >> and for the last 2 hours I have been looking for it but no luck :'(

I did search about it but no one had an issue with this exact cable clamp latch.

Is it okay to leave it like this? or is there a safe DIY way to fix it??

I would really really appreciate any help

Thanks in advance

You will need to find the latch or a replacement part, what is your location?

I took the motherboard apart again as I thought that maybe the latch got beneath it, but no luck. Next I thought about vacuuming the whole working room which somehow worked!

So a tip for anyone who finds themselves in the same mess: if you lose a tiny, critical piece during your first-ever laptop repair… just grab a vacuum! Apparently, it doubles as a high-powered parts recovery tool. Who knew? XD

And I appreciate everyone's support :)

Thanks again

You have one of the best Mac repair person in Australia Paul Daniels but he's up North in Queensland. See if he's willing to send you the latch or a complete connector.
