I have an early '08 MBP and the body is in less than perfect shape. I can get ahold of an '07 2.2 MBP for dirt cheap and I'd like to is
A. Put the display assembly from the 2.2 in mine (they're both LED so it should work right?). Mine, the top/back lid is pretty beat up and I have a couple of light spots on the screen, nothing major but I'd still like to fix it.
And B. I'd like to put the palm rest from the 2.2 on mine. This may be a little more tricky as I REALLY like the swipe features I have on my multi touch trackpad which isn't on the 2.2. Even though they look identical, Mine has this feature and I'm wondering if I'd lose it by putting the trackpad from the 2.2 on mine.
Can anyone confirm if these two things would work? I am pretty confident that I could complete the tasks myself. I've taken many a computer apart.
Please let me know.
Thank you.
