Which flex cable...?

[Sir SpemzR]

Hello people of the Apple world...

so i have a black macbook, version 1 (volume keys on F3 F4 F5)
and its time to replace the top case...there are chips on the sides and the
trackpad is too worn out looking...

i found some on ebay for around $40 shipped...
but one says that it has an orange flex cable, not the silver...
is there any way for me to know which cable i have without opening
up my macbook?


thanks guys,
Mario

Apple will probably replace it if it chipped on the front edges - are you anywhere near an Apple Store.....

If you need to buy one then go to the Apple menu>about this Mac>more info

if the model identifier is MacBook 1,1 it will have an orange cable..
if it says MacBook 2,1 you will need the silver cable...

The silver cable topcase will work fine in the MacBook 1,1 ....

thank you so much...so i dont need to worry about it
even if i get an orange or silver cable?

it says this..."Model Identifier: MacBook1,1"

You have MacBook1,1 so that ises an orange cable. The same as the one on eBay.
