Powerbook Medic 16 hours ago	@Nicky - the keyboard is part of the top case. You can remove the individual keys by popping them off, but to remove the entire keyboard is a daunting task with tons of screws which we won't cover.
Nicky Nugroho 1 day ago	Can you post a video how to remove the keyboard on macbook pro unibody after removing the logic board . i have someting stuck on my keyboard .
Koller 1 day ago	What are related backlight issues with this model?
Powerbook Medic 2 weeks ago	You can view our 13" Macbook video for the Glass removal procedure. It is the same for the 15 and 13" models.
JonnyMcGee 2 weeks ago	Hey, I also would love to see a video of replacing the glass bezel, need to replace mine soon. It decided to crack in my backpack last week.
Mendez 1 month ago	I need an instructional video on the removal and installation of the glass bezel portion of the display. Any help would be greatly appreciated
peter o'keefe 2 months ago	I have a later model A1286 that has a single back panel like the 13". Once removed, a notice on the battery says:"Do not remove this battery". This prevents me from accessing the trackpad, which is suffering from a coffee spill. The trackpad works fine controlling the cursor, but the click is intermittant. I have hopes that careful cleaning will restore the click function, but I fear that the "do not remove" notice on the battery should not be ignored.
Powerbook Medic 3 months ago	Not yet. If you look at our video of the 13" Unibody display replacement, then the procedure is extremely similar.
