My Problem

I was working on an editing project when I spilled water on the upper case (don't we all?) Luckily it didn't get down to the logic board, so I used an external keyboard to continue working. Got tired of using said keyboard and needed to replace the upper case.

My Fix

First of all, I ordered the part on a Friday and shipped it USPS. Got it the following Monday (which really impressed me). Went online and printed the guide - it made the replacement simple as can be. I had the part replaced in about 90 minutes. I would upload pictures, but the site won't let me (Failed on a "null" error)

My Advice

Order the toolkit from the site and use the guide. I know it's additional money, but it makes it so easy and simple to do when you have the right tools. Also, make sure to keep your screws separate from each stage - use a screw storage box (one that comes with typical PC repair kits) to help keep them straight. Otherwise it's a very straightforward install.
