It was long and tedious and scary.
I got a copy of the apple repair manual for this thing - don't think I could have done it with the few guides I saw on the net.
MUST HAVE: suction cups to remove the glass. T6 & T8 drivers
the biggest problem for this job was keeping it all clean. Any dust on the inside of the glass will be there forever. I did the best I could to keep things clean, but dust was everywhere on the LCD when I was done. A few smudges too. The guide said to NOT use iklear on the LCD, but the dust was pretty easy to remove with just a clean cloth.
I'm installing the OS now - think I did it al right. I'll have to make sure that things like the drive temp sensors, isight and other little goodies are still working.
This was a rehearsal for doing the 24"... not so hot on the idea now...
we'll see
