I have been offered a A1181 Macbook for lifting the LCD-panel – not the assembly — and I need this to be compatible to connect with the cables in the A1278 and otherwise work fine. These models have the same graphic card and the same resolution and are quite similar. Are there any reasons the LCD from the A1181 wouldn't work in the A1278?
