I would really appreciate your feedback on the matter since am a novice when it comes to new macs repairs! I went to a shop that handles and repairs apple products and also and the official “Handler” but obviously they wanna change the whole top case and would cost me up to 800€ /910$ which is insane! Would you guys recommend replacing it myself? Is this actually complete or do i need to purchase any extra parts?
