Auto-inject mechs fits all Macs that uses them and nearly all compacts. The outer shell is only the difference. Change that shell to another with philips number 2 screwdriver. Get a quality screwdriver! Press hard while loosening those screws. Manual-inject doesn't fit in all old compacts and some Macs depending on case design. Reason stripped those screws: wrong size (usually #1 (easy to see why) or bad quality philips screwdrivers (poor fit) or worn out very easy to cam out then will chew up the "+") Doesn't take much wear to slip out. Bad quality screwdrivers doesn't fit well and non-hardened that it wears away fast that it looks ok but slips out and ruin those heads. Remember: doesn't take much effort to ruin any screw heads with sightly worn tools. I know because I'm doing repairs for years and I really appreciate quality screwsdrivers.
