I have a macbook pro 15 " and seems like I will have to change the LCD. Any suggestions on where to buy the LCD? I found some on ebay but don't know if that is the best place to buy it from. How different is the proccess for the 15 "?

@smalldogelectronics What temperature was your heat gun at?

[smalldogelectronics]

@StrictlyMacTuts My Ace Hardware heat gun has two settings, 800 and 1500, I use the 800 setting.

I just broke my glass. I bought a heat gun and could not get it to pop up. Got restless and started to pry on it with a tiny screwdriver. Broke it.

Awsome thank you :)

Rebecca thank you so much for the guidance! You rock. I actually just switched out my cracked glass on my own... my local Apple guy said the whole screen asembly would need replacement but I worked it out on my own with your help! Here's a stumper for ya... how do you remove cracked glass? I did ok but it was a bit messy. Suction is tougher and often ineffective. Is there a sure-fire way to remove cracked glass properly? Video for that would be nice! Thank you again so much... fellow Vermonters!

Where can I get one of those gel rollers? I'm working one 15" MacBook Pro unibody.

I just did this. I couldn't find the suction cup she used at ANY hardware store. ended up taking the glass off the sides piece by piece. PAIN IN THE ASS. but I fixed my screen...
