Does anyone know if the black keyboards from the 2009 aluminum unibodys could be used to replace the white keyboards on the 2009/2010 white unibodys? I know that the keyboards are "part of" the top case but I have seen ways to separate the glued on metal backplate on the topcase to get at the keyboard. I can find inexpensive ($20) replacements in black but not in white and the replacement top cases for the white unibody go for a lot more ($100-165). I know that the connectors on the motherboards are the same, just not sure that the pinouts are the same or that the ribbon cable is in the exact same location
