Is the topcase from a mid 2012 MacBook Pro interchangeable with a 2008-2010 MacBook Pro topcase w/keyboard. It only comes with the keyboard, but I’m not sure if the backlit keyboard and ribbons for the speakers are compatible, thanks
I want to transfer a 2008-2010 topcase into a 2012 MacBook Pro, as my 2012 MacBook Pro has a damaged keyboard
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

If all you need is the aluminium topcase with keyboard, then the answer is yes, but stick to to 2009/2010 Pro series. There’s no 2008/2010 Pro, in 2008 and early 2009 there was just the A1278 Macbook Unibody that is not compatible at all. However, considered the difficulty involved in replacing the superdrive slot which holds different groudings for 2009/2010 and following models, evaluate carefully it it’s worth your while as the part may break in the process. I’d suggest you stick with i5/i7 replacement topcase for a smooth and troublefree work.

I use a SuperDrive to HDD adapter. Will that work still? For some reason I forgot that A1278 didn’t come out until 2009
Actually I realized that I don’t need the screws for the adapter as I don’t need to eject anything
@coreycusick The adapter lays on the three housing screws which are the same for both models, no problem, just checked the two housings side by side. All you have to get replaced is the subwoofer glued to the topcase and attached to the right speaker.
I finally found a top case that’s a decent price for the i series. I’ll just get that as it comes with the speaker assembly, thanks I just wasn’t really sure and couldn’t find a definitive answer
@coreycusick You're welcome, happy fixing :)
