      Exactly, I had that problem once when I rebuilt the engine of my Vauxhall Viva…..Thing still went with 5 "missing" bolts...

        From memory it involved …...

        16 small size 001 Phillips screws
        4 long 001 Phillips screws
        2 small Torx screws on the battery compartment

        ....the hardest part was separating the casing after all the screws were out. Well, that and doing the whole thing with Tommy coming into the room every 15 seconds and saying "is it done yet?"  😠

          Not too bad, but still pretty hardcore, and impressive you had the Torx on hand.

                  Mega you replaced the processor? Aren't those soddered down to the logic board in that model (and I think all models)? What did you replace it with?

                    I think I have the little red insert part of this and it's great, though it is missing a torx I need to replace the scales on my Southard Spydie.

                    Think it, be it.

                              No soldering required (I'm English, and a military electronic engineer, trust me it's soldering not soddering, that is another word for buggery :o ). I simply repositioned the connector which supplies power to the display, keyboard, track pad and RAM which had worked it's way loose. The damn thing is right in the middle of the computer though, you literally have to take it all apart to get to it.

                                      Ah. So then you didn't replace the processor?

                                          We bought Tommy a 2008 MacBook Pro from ebay for £350 as part of his Christmas gifts, it's been totally upgraded with a new processor, 4GB of RAM and it dual boots with Windows 8.1 and Mavericks. It's a 17" and runs faster than my 2012 MBP.
