Hey!
I have an old Macbook Unibody 13 inch A1278 which I used to use alot.
Now I have upgraded to my Macbook Pro 15 2012, I could use with a powerful Netbook. I already have one (hackintosh) but it isnt as fast as my old MB Unibody.
I was wondering how easy it would be to replace the bottom half of my machine?
Some one has offered me the correct body.
I want to do the bottom half of it.
Is it worth it though? This laptop has a few issues....

1. Screen flickers on bootup.
2. Somtimes it powers off randomly on battery (this is when its like 50%)
3. I cant get it to boot sometimes. It will turn on but no chime or anything on the screen just low level fan noise. TO remedy this I have to take out the battery and try again.

Any ideas?
Thanks! :D
Btw, the body is only £80.... So it would be a cheap repair if something else needed replacing.
