        A set is presumably in your Torture Instrument Roll….

            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.

                Ahh, I zoomed in and copped immediately when I saw the rest of the bits, thanks for the tip.

                  Doug, can you grab me one.  I'll square up and sort out shipping later…..

                        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?

                                    @Mega, DrB is referring to the below;
                                    @Megatron1505:

                                    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.

                                        Is it true that the battery has to have sensor or some sort like that??

                                          Yeah, there is a sensor on/that connects to the battery that keeps track of the health of the battery and cycle states.

                                          mine for eg;

                                          
                                          $ ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity                                                                                                                                                                [20:31:14]
                                              | |           "MaxCapacity" = 6802
                                              | |           "CurrentCapacity" = 6802
                                              | |           "LegacyBatteryInfo" = {"Amperage"=0,"Flags"=5,"Capacity"=6802,"Current"=6802,"Voltage"=12531,"Cycle Count"=26}
                                              | |           "DesignCapacity" = 6900
