My 15" Macbook Pro (Late 2008) stopped turning on and recharging the battery. I'm about 80% sure it has something to do with the DC-in board from but I don't want to buy a $50 part and have it still not turn on.
I since bought a Macbook Pro 13" (2010) and was wondering if it was possible to simply swap the DC-in board and it will work? I'm only asking because I don't want to dismantle my laptop and after hours of work it won't fit
So does anyone know for sure if it works, doesn't work or might as well try it and find out?
These are the part numbers

They appear very similar, thats the only reason I'm asking.
