Review: As expected - As expected
Review: Not hardware exact to original but would probably - This was ordered to repair the common apple laptop video failure. It proved to be difficult to use and ultimately did not work for what I had hoped to be able to get a good repair. Specifically the wiring and the item did not appear the same as advertised or as it should have looked so that it could be soldered into a display as a repair. I’m taking some stars off mainly because if it’s manufactured not identified internally to the original piece they should just put that in the ad. I agree any negative info will result in fewer sales but as a consumer in my case I just couldn’t use the part.
