I have a 2.8ghz 17" mid 2009 Macbook Pro that had a GPU glue spill into the video card. (Thanks Apple.) It cannot be reflowed.

If I bought a new topcase, would the screen fit on a 2011 17" MBP logic board?

Thunderbolt ports were new on the MBP and the trackpad was also upgraded somehow that I cannot remember.

My screen is perfect and so is the bottom case, so what other parts would I need to make this work?
