So guys, today I took apart my MBP. I installed a new hard drive, and also unbent the aluminum (it was bent because the guy that gave it to me dropped it alot. lol.). Anyway also, a problem with it is that the right side of the screen hinge is broken. While I took it apart, I took the LCD off to. The right side was broken clean off. So I was going to order a new one, and before I did I just wanted to know how to replace it. Anyone know, or can anyone send me a link to find out how? Thanks.

first is this newer unibody or older body style?

Also check out iFixit.com they have great tear down guides.
