😱 I'm an idiot. I finally forced my lazy butt to finish a 'project' thats been sitting in a box, in pieces for 3 or 4 years. An '07 MBP 15" a1226 that needed a bottom tray and crack screen replaced. The bottom section is basically 'done' waiting for me to put the new screen in and finish up. Hours later I can see the finish line of 2 hinges and a few cable to attach to the bottom and....I notice a piece I must've forgotten! I'm exausted + disgusted with my dumbass. And this thing has been sitting in pieces for so long, I can hardly remember taking it apart. Dealing with all the screws 4yrs on,. has just been a delight.
I can't remember taking this part off. I've looked at the screen assembly and bottom section and don't see anything obviously missing. Probably staring me in the face. I can't even remember what this piece is. Sorta looks like an iSight camera, but the 'lense' is solid black. I'll stick a pic of it at the bottom. I couldnt find it in the ifixit manuals I used. I'm thinking it might be a stray part that came still attached to the used bottom tray I bought as replacement. I could finish putting it together with my fingers crossed, start tearing the bottom section apart, or post the dumbest question ever, then go take a nap....
"Would some kind person tell me what this part is?"
I'm hoping for someone to say "The 2007 a1226 didn't have that part, go back to sleep" 🙂
Thanks- Mike
edit: Thanks very much for the help! I must have lost those memory cells regarding this part...lost 'em in a pint of beer...Thanks again
