Title
MacBook Pro Screen Conversion
Introduction
=== Typically, screens last ''thirty years'' ===
Sadly, they often go to waste. While the rest of your old computer may be totally obsolete, that screen is still in its ''adolescence'' and has ''decades'' of potential service-life remaining.
In this guide, You’ll learn how to reclaim the use of your laptop’s screen, so it can continue to serve you for decades to come.
== Important Notes: ==
• This guide’s author has done this build a half dozen times, with a half-dozen different recycled screens. The photos in this guide were taken at various times from different instances. Thus, some photos may have “plot holes” or minor inconsistencies with the continuity.
• This guide requires you to be competent in wood-shop and/or metal working. ''(Any highshool graduate who took at least a year of ‘Shop classes will do fine!)''
• This guide assumes you have a competent understand of computer building/repair, use of power tools, shop safety, etc. Wear safety gloves when cutting metal. Wear eye protection. Don’t be stupid.
