Looking to replace some exterior parts. Need help on compatible models
Hello,
I own a mid-2009 15" Macbook Pro (MC118LL/A). It is still running fairly well, but a few things concern me. One is the hinge from the lcd screen to the main body is cracking (picture attached) and the housing at the back of the lcd screen, where the lighted apple logo is, is fairly scratched and has oxidized spots.
It’s hard to find this exact 2009 model in decent condition where I could swap out these parts. Does anyone know if earlier (2008 or 2009) or later models (late 2009 or 2010) have compatible housing? I found a late 2008 Macbook that looks promising but I don’t know if its compatible. What about the cracking hinge? can that be swapped out?
I don’t have a lot of money, but what ultimately plan to do, aside from re-doing some of the exterior, is replace the hard drive with an SSD and replace the battery which has just about run its course. I’m hoping to run a higher operating system than OSX Lion as numerous web pages refuse to properly load or makes my system run hot. Some times, the fan noise is incredible.
Also, my track pad doesn’t work when I click it by pushing. Is a 2008 model compatible?
Anyhow, appreciate anyone’s friendly advice.

Included here is the picture of the cracking I mentioned in the original post.
