A gifted MacBook Pro I was considering updating a bit, was given to me a while back. GD used it all through college, I’d replaced the spinner HD with an 8Gb SSD along the way, bumped RAM to 4Gb at the same time I think… But it’s battery is nearly gone… Takes a charge, but doesn’t hold for long…
Anyway, suddenly today, it began beeping, 3 beeps, dark screen, refused to shut down, stopping my intended nap! It would NOT respond to the Power button and shut down. Bummer! Google led to it being a RAM issue, so I pulled the back off, removed, the RAM chips, still beeping… Finally pulled the battery out, silence prevails… I found the battery, 16 Gb RAM, and replacement screws for the 3 or 4 missing, a little over $50… Ordered late last night (Sat) be here next Wednesday… Added some bottom bumpers…
But there it is, a 2012 A1278 MBP… I had played with it earlier today, considered using it to see/share the screen of my Mac Pro, but pretty tiny, gave that up, and AFAIK, it was just setting there, closed, on the charger when it went to beeperville,
One more project, nice screen, DVD R/W, decent for it’s time…
Choices…
Interesting, well done video…
