Hi, I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch with the 2.8GHz i7, and I was wondering if I could swap the board for a 2012 15 inch unibody board. The performance in mine is fine for me, but I really want the 2012 board because it supports 16GB of ram. Thanks (Also I know I would have to buy a new battery and im willing to do that as mine only lasts like 40 minutes anyways)

Beside the battery that has a different connector the only part not matching is the WiFi/bluetooth flat cable that is slightly misaligned and with different lenght. However it’s an inexpensive and easy to replace part that won’t make much of a difference in the overall upgrading costs.

Is the display connector the same? In some A1278s I've seen some connectors that have the rectangle base style and the newer style ones with the different slightly bent curved flaps.
@benjamen50 You're right, with A1278 a swap wouldn't be possible because of different LVDS cable to start with, but also Wifi/Bt and camera cables would be a no-go. With 2010 i5/i7 in A1286 and later quadcores everything is basically the same..there is only a very tiny difference in LVDS connector width that can be fixed with just a touch of sand paper beside the flat cable I mentioned.
