I’m being shafted on the price, in that case.

It’s my own machine anyway. I can get 0001s but they are not cheap and very few. The machine works. You think there will be any issues using it?

This has to be the best fuckup Ive seen this year. Straps?

Just in case anyone looks at this... I was getting no green from the MagSafe. Turns out my "known good" IO board was shit. Also turns out that because I was not getting and green / orange I was missing the fact that the power button was causing an SMC reset every time I pushed it to turn the...

never mind - fixed it

Thai machine came in with a dead SSD, backlight no image. Replaced SSD and boot fine but when logged in it random restarts with kernel panic. Run from external drive the machine works fine. Tried installing a fresh OS but installation hung. Restarted in verbos and it reported KP. No...

Well I’ll See if I can get target mode to work. So far I tried Linux, windows and OS X on externals but nothing sees the device, let alone a volume. Its a very thin and pretty gold machine so it will make a nice place mat.

12" MacBook works fine on El Cap then customer attemptes to install High Sierra. Bricked SSD. I am wondering if it's something to do with APFS / firmware. Something I think is related: I have attempted on other systems to install High sierra on third party drives (SATA SSDs). They are not even...

No Title To add a little detail I bought a SumVision 120W multi charger (because they are actually quite good) and dremeled the ends off some jacks, soldered the wires to the exposed tabs and then covered the ends in hot glue and sausaged it around the tabs for insulation. Used some heat shrink...

No Title This was my solution. As duke said, I pulled them off shit fake ones that customers sent in... no dear customer you can not power my repair with this pile of shit and still have warranty!

OK let's take a look at the rational here. With your assumption of well trained staff and high success rate... You have well trained staff which takes time and energy finding good staff - Time you invested. You have a fast efficient service - More time and energy spent getting there. Then you...

I agree partly. I agree a good customer base is essential and also believe a truely good customer base would be made up of good busness / trade customers. It's just easier to deal with. The point I would like to make here is, I have aquired all of my current bussiness customers through eBay. I...

Oh shit! I've ben using that for ages! Where can I find a actually good guide? EDIt: never mind. I will read through the intel guides. Fuck me, it would seem I was missing a LOT.

Here is the method I used... Use MEA to find the ME version in the ROM - 8.0.4.1441 1.5MB Then open the 8.0.4.1441_1.5MB_PRD_RGN.bin (downloaded from the repositry) in hex and select all to note the length - 17D000 Copy the ME to clip board Open the MBP EFI ROM.bin in hex and search KRID and...

I cleaned the ME already. Chip from exact same spec board wth clean ME.... Unless there is something else I am unaware of?

So I just got a machine in. Customer was hackintoshing thier Windows machine and during creation of the installer the installed Clover to the MacBook SSD. This resulted in corrupted EFI. I've replaced it but I'm wondering why this happened.... Would it have written some sort of fucked up...

No man. Nothing gets hot. So now when I plug any wattage charger in I see green / orange and the OS knows and shows the charger is connected. But it's not charging. The battery is fine.

You've tried another screen cable and inspected the iPEX connector on the screen side first of course? Made sure no beep from pin 1 to ground with cable plugged and unplugged? Tested with another screen of the same model (numbers under the clutch cover / WiFi thing) Beeped out pin 1 to ceramic...

Was liquid to q7010. Plug in an 85W charger it will charge the battery and power the machine but the MagSafe gets very hot. Same with known working IO board. Machine powers from battery. With a 45W Apple charger: Sometimes PPDCIN fluctuates by about half a volt. PPBUS sometimes fluctuates by 2...
