[QUOTE="dutchbuddha, post: 938998, member: 130676"] @idrinorbarsaku Thank you for your reply. However your thesis seems invalid. The 3 screws you see are not there to hold the metal plate in place or screw it to something solid like your MBP unibody shell. They merely hold the electronics (LED, buttons sensor) on that metal plate. Further more the metal plate in question was already loose/disattached from the unibody before disassembly - a feet very difficult to do if it where screwed on. There appeared to be what I'd call glue resedue (in whatever form) above and below the LEDs. The dis-assembly was done after studying Apple's hard drive replacement guide as well as watching several Youtube of guys doing the same thing - and studying some picks online. I will see if I can upload some pics early next week. [/QUOTE]
