Hinge broken - display housing replacement

I dropped my Macbook some time ago and the hinges broke away from the display housing. I have purchased new hinges and have removed the screen together with the lcd using the tutorials on this site. I am looking at buying this item of ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...

It is the display housing. I have bought suctions cups and im ready to remove the lcd screen the only problem is I cant find any tutorials on how to remove the rest of the stuff in the display i.e. the webcam and the electronics at the bottom.

Most tutorials are written for removing/replacing the lcd however i am actually trying to replace the display housing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Peter that true about not having a tutorials, but it straight forward as you remove the cable and wires. Just make sure start from the bottom middle to the right then top right to top left. then mount them back those steps backwards.

First to make sure MB is just a MB or is it a MBP, because there's a difference on the cover.

the one you have link for is for a MBP. If you look at the top of the case at both ends there's single magnet and on the right side middle there's a magnet. The magnets on top are so you MBP could go to sleep when the lid is close and the side one is the lock.

Now on the other hand MB has double magnets on both top ends and on the left middle a single magnet.

There's a big difference so make sure you buy the correct one.

Hope that helps. Good luck with that.

Thank you very much that was a very helpful answer. I am going to contact this seller to see if the has the proper part. However, if he does not if i were to use this part (mainly due to the fact that i am struggling to find my part anywhere else ps im from Australia)would it be compatible? Would the single magnets do the same thing in place of the double magnets? I guess the lock would not work but at this point since mac wont sell this part without the screen as a whole im not sure what else to do.

Thanks in advance
