[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1103539, member: 56379"] Slightly off topic. I removed/installed what's called the "uppercase" on two 13" polycarbonate Macbooks a couple of days ago. This is the housing part that includes the keyboard, trackpad, and trackpad button...and this is the main part that usually suffers the housing cracks in the palm rest area that many Macbook owners have experienced. [img]http://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/jm/img?s=MLA&f=55258787_2767.jpg&v=O[/img] I think that there were something like 21 screws (various sizes), 1 ribbon cable, and a lot of TLC needed to get this part separated from the rest of the computer.

I also followed the ifixit.com installation procedure for the parts...and it went fine. - Nick [/QUOTE]
