[@ChibiKeruchan]

$370 is too much for those pile of junks. coz at the very least nobody will buy an old 2nd hand model of any apple product. (base from their target customer of apple products) not to mention finding parts are too damn hard to find and expensive (unless you are living in shenzhen china) even Louis Rossmann will throw these junks to the landfill. lol

[@ultraintent7864]

[@Ahmed____]

@@ChibiKeruchan You are mistaken. These Macbooks and iPads have a huge market on the likes of eBay and other second-hand sites. There are early 2013 Macbook Pros (13") being sold for £450 ($565)+ on eBay. This deal was an absolute steal for what Hugh received.

[@FrugalRepair]

Hey Hugh, FYI, the 2011 GPU faults are inside the chip. It’s a flip chip design where the die is connected with metal bumps rather than bond wires. The failure is on one or more of the bumps. I don’t have a video on this but I do have one on what is happening when people try to reheat their BGA chips.

The "Pismo" black laptop had all sorts of *other* things that could be shoved in the "Accessory Bay" too. From the black 'just plastic bin' one I used to hold dongles and cables *internally* to a *internal* AC powerbrick, to ZIP drives, etc. Honestly an excellent design concept even today IMNSHO. Double batteries are excellent. Or run *no* batteries light. I have one running a developer release of MAX OS X here somewhere and some of the odd 'fits in a bay' stuff if there's particular interest.

[@muhammadediilfa8513]

FYI, I have ipad 2 3g, and it is locked on activation device. Then i remove the resistor R1205 (near the a5 cpu). Turn the ipad 2 on, and it will automatic enter the dfu mode. Then connect to pc and restore the firmware with 3utools. After that the activation screen/apple id/icloud id is empty and i can use the ipad as usual. But the 3g no longer working
