My wife passed away a couple of years ago at an early age from breast cancer.  I kept her MBP 13″ and my daughter has been using it.  She came down to me two weekends ago and was upset because the left side of the glass had cracked!  She was probably carrying it and holding it by the screen.

LCD itself was fine, just the glass was cracked.  A quick search on eBay and I had a replacing glass on the way for $15 bucks.  A visit out to iFixIt and I found all the tutorials to remove the upper LCD from the base/keyboard and then how to, with a heat gun, remove the old glass.

Just took my time with it and made sure to keep the parts/screws and other stuff labeled and in order.  The reassemble went fine and my daughter is off and running again play Minecraft and Gary’s Mod.  The system is amazing once inside of it and how they engineered it.  Its about 5 years old and it’s still running like a champ.
