MacBook – Is it possible to connect a 15“ MacBook Pro screen to a 13” MacBook Air

macbook pro

I’m trying to fit late 2008 model 15 inch MacBook Pro screen to a 13 inch MacBook Air from 2013. Is this possible? Do you have experience with the display's sockets and connectors ?

This is a hobby project; I don’t mind if it costs more than a new MacBook Pro. I just wanna see a 15 inch MacBook Air! I have few other MacBook Pro 15 inch machines to kill.

The target resolution is 1400×900. I read that Retina display won’t work here as graphic card may not be giving the high resolution.

I am looking for guides, resources, or insights into how to achieve this.

No. It is not possible. Similar to this question previously asked

The 2008 MacBook Pro uses a 30pin LVDS connector while the newer one uses the 40pin connector.
