Replacement of Upper Case Macbook

by cowlesmd

My Problem

Spill of Chicken Soup on Keyboard. Chicken Soup is great for the soul not so much for macbooks.

My Fix

Took 2 hours. Great online guide and video. First time to delve this deep into a notebook computer.

My Advice

I think keeping screws organized helps. I numbered bins on an ice tray and then wrote numbers on the printed instructions to identify screws. There are some subtle differences. You will need the spudger and the tri-wing. Used post-it notes to hold trackpad in alignment while tightening.
