Taking Apart MacBook Pro

I took apart my MacBook Pro the other day and made a video. I sped the clip up because it took rather long. I might be posting another video with regular speed and a voice commentary later on. Enjoy!

it seems like the cd drive and the battery take up more space than they should...

[MegaTechie]

oh, it got stuck. it seems that there are some latches in the front above the superdrive. i had to be careful not to snap them.

Thank you so much for this! The top of the bottom part of my MBP was coming off very slightly in the bottom left corner, I thought that some glue or something had come off, turns out I just needed to tighten the screw!

in the stage you opened at the end of the movie the fans can be cleaned easily or there is a long step forward?

Um, I resently aquired a MP. From my Aunt Kelley. We were moving out of her old house and she let me have it. Problem is that her cats spilled somthing on it. Right now I just starting taking all of the screws out of it to take it apart. I alread looked on the Mac site to clean it with alchol and cotton swabs. If there a possible way I could get it work again?

I have a question...something is rolling around inside my computer...my computer is working fine but i want to know if it would be safe for me to take apart the computer to see what it is....or will my computer just stop working if its opened? i got my macbook pro in 2009...so it looks a little different.

@cmcalero Well done-I simply would not have a clue-so would not even attempt it! -probably a ''sexist'' comment, didn't mean it to be, but most people who I know who love electronics are men- but there are plenty of men i know who would not have a clue as to do with the inside of a computer, too :)
