Solved Can I Use For A Mbp A1151 A Mbp A1212 Display Macbook Pro 17 Models A1151 A1212 A1229 And A1261

Chosen Solution

Hi, I have a MBP 17" Model A1151 and some problems with my display. Now I found a used MBP A1212, with broken I/O-Board and broken Logic-Board, at eBay. Can I use this display for my A1151? Thanks for your help! Greetings from Germany BB

Hello! Yes, you can use the display from A1212 for A1151, with one catch: You will need to use the airport card from the A1212 machine. The reason is that the A1151 machines have 2 airport antennas coming from the display, and the A1212 machines have 3 airport antennas. Beyond this, you’re set! Good luck!

Hi Ben, I have the flipside of the initial question. Can I use a A1151 display in a A1229? What issues might I encounter? Thanks, Charlie.
