[QUOTE="rustyk123, post: 1527662, member: 99923"] Here is what you can do to get the job done at no cost. Remove the hard drive as pigoo3 said. It is very simple: [INDENT][LIST] [*]If yours has the removable battery, remove it. There is 3 screws spread across one side (other sides have more), remove those. The hard drive is in the front right of the computer and will slide right out. [*]If you don't have the removable battery, there is 10 screws on the bottom, that pops off (has a few snaps to hold it in the middle as well). Then inside there is a black bar with orange spots on it, remove the 2 screws on it, and then the hard drive will lift out and unplug. [/LIST][/INDENT] Then move the hard drive to the other MacBook and now you have your screen. Just make sure you switch it back after you wipe the drive. [/QUOTE]
