987687 Where's the cache? Registered: 03/21/06 Posts: 248	So apparently one can only take apart the macbook keyboard and fix it so many times before it stops working never to work again... And I have reached that point. My eyes hurt from soldering tiny little things. Anyway, what other top cases are compatible with the core duo? Or do I have to find a core duo specific top case. period. the end? thanks
