Hi there all,
First time post (but many thanks for all the helpful advice on here... much appreciated).
My track-pad and keyboard are dead. So I have been looking to buy a replacement. Hit a bit of a dead end when searching and need some advice please.
My model is a A1226 / 15 inch: so I believe I need a top case with the part number 922-8036.
Unfortunately these cost a small fortune new, so after browsing e-bay, I was wondering if i could use parts from similar models? (922-7184 / 922-7909 / 922-8351)
Would these work? Would there be any limitations? (eg back lights don't work, different keyboard layouts etc.)
Also, a lot of these replacement parts are shipped without the keyboard. Would i be able to rescue the keyboard from my current top case to use?
Many thanks in advance.
