MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Front Display Glass Replacement

Very difficult

The macbook Pro fell, and the glass was cracked all over. Luckily this was the only thing broken, no essential hardware was broken, everything still worked perfectly.

Actually it went very smoothly. We started at 7PM and it was finished by 10.30PM.

The only bump on the road was that the suction cups didn't stick to the glass because of the cracks all over the glass. So we needed to poke and pull and twist until all little pieces of glass were removed (this process took 1.5 hrs).

Luckily no sign of ravens. Some pigeons though.

The stuff about the suction cups and the cracks (see repair).

It was a very frustrating and slow process. We were afraid to damage the LCD.

If you have this, and you don't have a steady hand, leave it to someone who does!
