Hi I have a white macbook 2008 can you replace the keyboard with the new illuminated keyboard?

It's possible, although far from easy.

The author openly admits in that flickr account to just buy the MacBook with illuminated keys, haha.

How much effort are you willing to put in? Probably not as much as needed as it is a very frustrating job!

wow, that looks like a hassle, my friend was thinking about doing that also, but forget that.

Wouldn't it be easier to buy the topcase for the 2.4 for iFixit and place it on the 2.0 macbook? They have the same electrical connections, no?

I actually checked this out the other day, the top portion is either $299 or $399. And for that price you might as well just by the 2.4 model for the speedbump and extra HDD space.
