Can anybody help? My lcd-led screen has been broken, any body can tell me how to do it your self, the access to the lcd is my big problem. On the old macbook, it was pretty easy to access but in the new macbook looks everything if together with some type of glue or something. Any advice? Thank you
Here is the teardown for your computer. Ralph MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Teardown
Just been in chat with a mac technician…hope this helps all. pimp my score :-) Brandon: I am doing well. To answer your question, unfortunately I do not have all of the part numbers that are available for the LCD. Apple uses three or four different manufacturers for the LCDs in the MacBooks, and each manufacturer has its own part number. However, they are all interchangable and compatible with each other. We cannot guarantee you will receive the same manufacturer as the one you currently have, but we can guarantee compatibility. SIMON: ok so do you know if the lp133wx2-tlc1 from the unibody MacBook Pro fits the MacBook a1342? its confusing as trying to find the right lcd SIMON: well one that will fit and work Brandon: From what I’ve been told and what I’ve seen, the MacBook aluminum Unibody, polycarbonate Unibody, and MacBook Pro 13" Unibody all use the same LCD. SIMON: ahh ok because there some confusion as there all diffrent part numbers.. mines lp133wx2-tlg1 and MacBook Pros are lp133wx2-tlc1 and the 13 ends with e1….and seen some unibody models end in tlg2. so its confused the hell out of me which one to order..lol Brandon: lol, yeah, what you are seeing (those last two letters and numbers changing) are usually revisions that the manufacturers (LG in particular, as the part number you are referencing is for the LG models) make to the LCD. As long as the main section of the part number stays the same, then they should be all compatible. SIMON: brill ok how much is shipping for one to the uk? any idea if i buy from you?
Here is the part, but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a guide. However, the installation is only ‘moderate’ so you should probably be able to do it yourself. Perhaps if you look at the guide for the non-unibody model you can figure out how to do the insides, and to take it apart just follow the teardown. The parts you need are listed on the page with the part. Good luck!
Hi, Does the Polycarbonate Macbook unibody have a glass cover like the Aluminum Unibody or is it like the previous generation macbooks where you have the bezel and the lcd and no glass cover. Also, which macbook procedure is being referred. Sorry for the detailed questions. I’m am trying to fix my mother’s macbook from a distance.
U can search : Samsung LTN133AT09 Lg Philips LP133WX2 AU Optronics B133EW04
Mine came with LP133WX2-TLG1 I bought LP133WX2-TLE1. Not compatible: different connector. I then bought LP133WX2-TLC1. Not compatible. Same connector, works fine while the computer starts up but cuts off a bit before loginwindow starts (no backlight, no LCD). Restarting the computer produces the same result. Resetting the PRAM makes it worse: Doesn’t work all even after restart. Only way to get something is to reconnect the cracked screen, reset the PRAM again, reconnect LP133WX2-TLC1 and then it does the same again (works for a few seconds then cuts off). I then bought B133EW03 (supposedly compatible with A1342). Not compatible. Connector is slightly different: about 1mm larger. I guess 3rd time lucky doesn’t apply here.
My screen model is AU Optronics: B133EW04 V.4 HW04. Numerous sources cited the LP133WX2-TLC1 as fully compatible, including the ebay store that I purchased from. I selected snail-mail for delivery (it was free), but once I get the screen, I’ll attempt to install and I’ll post back with the results. This particular ebay store has the replacement screen listed for $81.50. Seems like a really good deal. I’ve got my fingers crossed!!
i have this model ,only usd100,contact me daview.sam@gmail.com
