I was just wondering if I could take a year 2010 display and put it on a Late 2008 macbook unibody... For example, this LCD says it is compatible from Late 2008 to Early 2011 models (Ebay). So if the LCD is compatible, is the rest of the display assembly?
Reason I want to know- I am gonna try powdercoating my macbook pro (getting new panels, topcase, etc) and I can get 2010+ display backs much cheaper than a late 2008 or 2009 model.
Don't know if anybody has tried this before... I know a mid 2009 display can go on a Late 2008 model if the magnet is moved to the opposite display side. But IDK about newer models.
