change macbook pro 17’ (ealy 2008) bottom case

Hi!

I’m a proud owner of a macbook pro 17’ (early 2008). Recently he drops from my hands, hit a stair’s corner and got a big dent in the bottom case.

So now I’m looking around for a used bottom case to install in my MBP. Yesterday I found a good one in ebay at a good price.

The problem is that the case is for a MacBook Pro 17" A1229 and mine’s is a MacBook Pro 17" A1261 (EMC 2199). The photograph of the used case looks exactly as mine’s.

I don’t know if it fits...

Do you have some expertise about this? Can I bought it?

All the best and thanks in advance!

I wouldn't buy it. Only buy an exact bottom case for your model. I don't know if that one would fit or not but it's not worth taking the chance especially buying from eBay.

if you can return it..............

If you can return it, go for it!
