repairs for friends and charge around $100 to swap them, telling them wher=

now they are gluing the damn cases together and you need to heat them to lo=
osen the glue (esp. with the macbook air!). Newer Dells are bitches to open=

mpacs and Toshibas are much easier to deal with.

y the LCD panel. In the latter you need to open up the head, remove the
panel and see on the back of the panel what kind it is. Two of the same la=
ptops may have different panels which requires different support circuits i=
nside the head so you have to get the panel specific to that laptop. But if=
you just swap the heads, all of the circuits are already inside and it doe=
s not matter what panel it is. You do need to keep in mind that the connect=
ors should match, and you can ask the seller and swap digital images with h=
im on ebay to see if his laptop head connectors matches yours.
