So I dropped something on my macbook. Basically, I bought a new screen on ebay for about $150 and got it in the mail today. The guy on the phone told me that the installation was easy and that there were directions on his auction page. About how to do it. (link is below)

I've got the old screen out but I can't get the hinge cover(step 2 in the link) to come out. All I have to do is unhook the motherboard display attachment. and the screen is out...I cannot get this hinge cover out and I'm afraid if I force it, it'll break it. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm getting desperate.

Thanks!

To the OP:

Follow the links rman provided or you can go to iFixit: iPod, iBook, & PowerBook Parts and Accessories and download their step by step instructions.

Keep in mind that the Airport Antenna is orientated behind the screen assembly. Make real sure you do not disturb or otherwise move the antenna wires and connectors from their original location. If you do, it will degrade reception or possibly result in no reception.

Regards.
