You’re using the wrong model macbook air here, the 2014 has a different battery connector that YOU SHOULD NOT lift up.

Hey ~~ I have an early 2014 13" MacBook Air that needs the fan replaced. I bought it from ifixit but need it installed. Is there someone that can do it for me? I'm in northern Vermont. Of course I would expect to be charged for the service.
