6od: alanfm78: So, after ~90 steps, I’ve finished!! Replaced upper and lower cases, and keyboard. It’s like a new computer. I have a newfound respect for the techs that do this work, and now understand why this replacement is over $1000. Wow, super-difficult. I’d say it took me about five hours, and didn’t go perfectly. Unfortunately, I accidentally snapped the left thermal sensor off the logic board. The 2.4 dual core has two, and I’m hoping it will work on just one. So far, so good… Awesome! Now you can do mine! Only without the sensor breaking part. Thanks, Alan! Congrats dude!  There’s something very cathartic about being neck-deep in some computer hardware for an afternoon.
