@Davie - the video should show how to detach the display from the computer. you can also do a shortcut and just do the LCD itself by taking off the bezel, unscrewing the display and disconnecting the display cable and the inverter cable

I recently bought a replacement LCD screen to replace my broken one on the A1181. I followed the video above but my screen is attached to the computer so I"m unable to open the joint where it plugs into the main unit- is there a safe way to detach the whole monitor unit from the laptop?

@Dave - not much you can do unless you break the latch further so you can release it manually or damage the battery trying to pry it out.

My Macbook has an issue I can't figure out a solution too - the battery isn't charging but I can't get it out to replace it because the twisting catch doesn't release the locking mechanism - as far as I can tell, I can't get to the case off to check out why it's broken without getting the battery out! Any idea what I need to do?

Thanks guys for the quick response. I'll try to replace it one by one.

@Romelee - it can be the LCD, inverter board, or inverter cable. If the backlight gradual starting going out, it is more likely the cable getting pinched in the hinges. If it went out all the sudden, I would try the inverter board first, then the LCD.
