Are the bezels on the A1151 A1212 A1229 and A1261 all interchangeable? (can the front bezel from any of those models go on my a1229?)
They are very similar but a search on the internet shows three different part numbers.
Seriously consider using a screw sorter when doing this guide. I actually use a fishing tackle organizer. They have lids you can close, thus preventing any accidental screw spillage. I actually use two sorters, one for the case screws, and one for whatever parts inside I am repairing.
Thanks, my MacBook Pro is now getting full use once more. This guide was very helpful. It was a smooth process.
Check out a time lapse of this whole process.
