@MacGyver @YoungWook (and anyone else who strips a screw). I was able to find a set of screws for this computer on eBay for $10. It is a complete set, so every screw in the computer is included from a complete tear down. Just search either early 2011 screw set or A1286 screw set.
Vielen Dank für die detaillierte Anleitung!
Ging wirklich sehr gut. Ich denke, man könnte dem ganzen Vorgang auch die Schwierigkeitsstufe 2 geben, da es keine Verklebungen zu lösen gibt (im Gegensatz zu den ganzen neuen Smartphones…) und man alles eigentlich ganz gut erreicht.
Man sollte vielleicht noch als Anmerkung dazuschreiben, dass man beim Festschrauben der Schräubchen auf die Kraftdosierung aufpassen sollte, da man ja Stahlschrauben in Alugewinde einschraubt. Also nicht zu sehr übertreiben dabei.
