I've installed a few 820-3330 boards into several 820-2915 case assemblies, and just replace the silver eDP/LVDS connector on the 3330 board with a 2011 15" style connector, and call it a day. Pin-outs are the same, so no biggie, right?
...right? I've had 2 of those customers come back with backlight issue; one had a dead LP8550 (which isn't totally uncommon on the 3330), and one had a blown fuse. Now I'm second-guessing this procedure (a popular choice due to the 2915 issues), and wondering if I should stop doing this. Are there any issue at all with converting a 2011 shell into a 2012 unit via replacing the board? I don't think there is (90% of the customers haven't had issues, apparently--they haven't come back).
Just wanting to confirm my assumptions to be safe.
