Kent I managed to get it to charge in the end and it seems to have lasted about 30 minutes so at least that is something. It will do for now. Thanks for looking at the website.

I am about to swap out the top case (cracked) with a new one. Hopefully this will also quiet down the new superdrive which i s quite noisy, and doesn't fit quite right. (I had given up trying to get it to fit - yes it was the correct superdrive- and had it professionally installed.) Any thoughts on swapping cases? Anything to look out for?
