[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1759169, member: 56379"] Yeah. These newer "glued together" Mac's are real DIY nightmares (iMac's, MacBook Pro's, MacBook Air's, and MacBook's). The disassembly & reassembly risk's are just too much. Namely the breaking of the display glass on disassembly...and/or misalignment of the new adhesive strips on reassembly (and then the need to remove the glass & try again)...which then there's the breaking of the glass on disassembly risk again.:( Definitely a procedure that I'm sure can be learned & managed after you've done it 5, 10, or 100 times.;) But definitely a high-risk procedure for a first-timer (and potentially high cost for replacement glass). - Nick p.s. iPad's & iPhones kind of the same thing. Procedure seems easier on a smaller piece of glass.:) [/QUOTE]
