Can I swap display housing from 2008 to 2010 model

My display housing has separated and the aluminium frame has broken about 1 inch from the bottom of the screen. This seems a common problem with this particular model.

I have tried all manner and types of glue which hold for a while before failing.

I am reluctant to purchase replacement 2008/9 screen housing to have the same thing happen to it in time.

It is my understanding that the 2010 model does not suffer this problem but that there has been some changes to the isight camera mounting and screen magnet locations.

I am thinking of purchasing a 2010 lid and 2010 isight camera but have a couple questions:

1. Does the 2008 cable fit the 2010 isight camera?

2. Alternatively, does the 2010 isight cable fit the 2008 wi-fi and logic boards?

3. Are there any other variations that may prevent the swap such as hinge mounts, clutch covers etc.?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
