So, as per an earlier post, I broke the LCD panel of my beloved Macbook. At the time I was thinking, way too expensivc to replace, just buy a new Macbook. But a couple of factors have come to play since then. For one, I didn’t want my next Mac to be a Macbook, I wanted a Macbook Pro, and 2, I found a place called Macfixit Australia, who sell LCD panels for DIY install for AU$379, which is damn cheap, you can get them to install it for you for $179, but that (however small) extra fee just makes me think I might as well go buy a new one for $1449. There’s an awesome guide at ifixit.com which has a 23 page guide in replacing the panel, which is quite involved, but me and a mate were thinking we could do it, so long as we follow every single step. The only tools I need is a screwdriver, a spudger and a beer to cool my nerves. And hopefully the DIY gods smile down on me.
