I've read about people replacing their MacBook Pro LCDs with non-Apple LCDs of higher resolution, and have not been able to find an guide on this particular model. How can I find out which key specs are relevant for compatibility? Obviously the size would be 15.4", but how about LED vs CCFL? or connectors? plastic frame? etc…?
Is dit een goede vraag?

I have done it.
Work in progress pictures of the MOD
I took an WUXGA panel from an IBM T61p computer, modified the EDID EPROM on it a bit, and the computer would talk to it.
I wanted to mount the panel on my A1226-machine, so the LCD cable and all would not be a fit, so i got an Display cable from an A1150 (1Gen Macbook Pro) and a Display bezel from an A1150 too.
With these parts you can mount the panel in the case.
But there is still som backlight to figure out, so i got myself an LCD panel from the A1226-model with LED backlight (broken panel, 15$) and ripped off the LED's and put them in the T61p-panel instead of the CCFL tube.
You need to solder the LED strip's 7 connection to the LED inverter in the A1226 and i would not advice anyone to undertake this unless they are an expert at soldering.

Nathan,
Here is the link to your question on LED vs CCFL.

I would forget about moding your clamshell.. Wast of time and money.

Hey guys!
I have a Macbook Pro 17" (1680 x 1050) late 2007.
I would like to know if it is possible to replace the display of my MBP by the high res display of a 2007 MBP 17" (1920x1200) ?

Good news!
I changed the panel and it worked!
So for all of you who want to upgrade their display,
it is possible!

Yes but how?
Where did you purchase your high res display? Was the display cable the same as the one for the 1680 x 1050?

Wow, now that's a mod and a half. If I knew what you were talking about, it would sound like fun. I don't even want to ask what you might charge for a custom install like that. Anyway I think you answered my question, which, at my technical skill level, I will have to live with the basic resolution. Thanks for posting and sharing the pics!

I really want to know if it's possible just to order a replacement 1920x1200 panel from the 2010 Macbook Pro to a mid-2009 macbook pro. Nobody seems to have tried it. Even the mod sites or repairs sites.

It won't work on the machine in question.
