swapping lids/screen

[hotrod351]

have a 2008 macbook pro that wont start, tried every thing i know, anyway bought another 2008 but the lid is cracked on the right side of the display screen. how much trouble would it be for me to switch lids/ displays.

This much, assuming you have the Late 2008 Unibody model: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBoo...d+Early+2009+Display+Assembly+Replacement/837

Otherwise, find the equivalent guide for your machine: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro
