I am looking for a replacement screen for a MacBook Pro1?
I am looking for a sreen for a MacBook Pro1. Model # A1175. It seems that Apple has duplicated this number so that it is dificult to come up with parts for this device. I believe the order #'s for this MacBook Pro are MA600LL and MA601LL. It is a 15" model with a glossy screen. I trust this is enough info and hope someone can help.
Is this a good question?

Thanks for the reply. The screen needs replacing because it looks like someone sat on it and when it is turned on it has 5 big black blotches and to on side I can faintly see some icons. Of course you are right there is no A1175. As I have been informed, that is the battery. I hadn't seen the device until today so was working from what I was told. The serial Number is W883006Z1XR. How do I get to the numbers on the back of the screen? I appreciate your help.

Oh, and to get to the number on the back of your LCD panel, you will have to disassemble it or you could try this " You can see what your LCD manufacturer is by doing the following:
Launch the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/)
Copy and paste the following command onto a single line and hit return:
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
Post the output and we might identify which panel you have. Good Luck

Thank you for your help. I won't be doing this for a while as funds are low. Perhaps you can help me with a place to buy the replacement screen. Again I appreciate your help.
