(Luckily for me, I have a friend who works on circuit boards for a living who was able to insert pins in to the logic board and solder the fan wires directly in. It was when reassembling the unit that I realized I actually had pried the boots right off the board. It is really easy to do this without realizing what you've done. I followed OWCs video which is quite detailed but, unknowingly, I broke off two boots/connectors from the logic board while trying to disconnect the IR connection and the fan.
