A1261 2008 17" MacBook Pro

Introduction & Notes
This page is for the A1261 pre-unibody 17" MacBook Pro from 2008. Please note - I have seen some confusion about the backlight on the glossy screen model. Both the matte and glossy screen options are CCFL backlit, NOT LED. The keyboard backlight is LED, however. The backlight will not turn on unless you have all three cables coming from the display assembly plugged in.
