Disconnect the two antenna cables from the AirPort Extreme card, the iSight and inverter cables from the left side of the logic board, and the display data cable from the right side of the logic board. Be careful to slide the connectors as they may become damaged otherwise.

If you don't mind downgrading the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1440x900, you can use another LCD Panel used for 17" Toshiba laptops: LTN170X2-L02. It's almost the same size and spec-wise, except for the lower res...and can be found much cheaper ($50 to $80). The only caveat is that the backlight cable comes out in a slightly different place, and you have to dremel away some of the lid so it doesn't pinch the backlight cable. I was interested to see if the Mac would recognize it, as 1440x900 was not one of the official resolutions mentioned in the original MacBook specs, but it worked!
