Chosen Solution

As a temporary replacement, can I plug a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009’s display assembly onto my 13" mid 2011 MacBook air’s motherboard ? It is ok if it cannot close, or is not transportable. All I need is to be able to troubleshoot my MacBook Air. I am wondering :

  1. whether it will work
  2. whether it can damage either the display or the laptop Thank you in advance for your help

Sorry No Apple transitioned the display systems from LVDS signaling to iDP (think how we migrated our TV’s from analog to digital to get better resolution in our content). The signals are not pin compatible and will in fact damage things! A better approach here is to use an external display. How about telling us what happened with your system, maybe we can offer you some guidance here.
