Then perform Step 21 (disconnecting the display cable). My advice would be to disconnect the battery. After getting to the steps where the upper display hinges are removed, I couldn't see any reason why the logic board needed removal. For example, there is no reason why the hard drive needs to be removed. Still it runs High Sierra and will work well during the next few years.A number of these steps are unnecessary to replace the upper case. The only gutting thing is that macOS Mojave won't be supported on this system. Which is in great shape and will last a few more years in action.
So in total for a Dual Core Quad Thread i5 15inch MacBook Pro I paid £332.97. £236 for the MacBook Pro itself with the upgraded memory & original charger & Box. Put a custom skin on it for when I use the machine for my cadet work. HDD Replaced with Kingston A400 240GB SSD.īattery Replaced with a new 3rd Party battery (Highly reviewed & recommended by customers) 5hrs of Battery Life. Memory upgraded from 4GB of RAM to 8GB (Done by previous owner). Use of Macs Fan Control to ensure no overheating/melting of solder on GPU/CPU. Thermal paste replaced with Arctic Silver 5.įull de-dusting and cleaning of fans and heatsinks. Tested it with High Sierra once it was given a clean bill of health I threw about 3 Hours and more money to get it up to a standard which I'd use it. So with any used machine before I threw money at it I tested everything, from the Memory to the Graphics Cards (As they die very easily). Intel Core i5 2.53GHz Dual Core with 4 Threads. So when I got it, it had been upgraded from 4GB of RAM to 8GB so that was a plus, something I didn't have to do but it needed practically everything else doing for it. When I was shopping for a system to buy it had to be cheep (C'mon that 5k iMac cost me enough ) so I went to the one place that we all go when looking for used laptops. I've recently refurbished a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch to use as my primary mobile machine, I don't really need bleeding edge specs as my 2017 5k iMac will do all the heavy lifting so the MacBook Pro will just be for my studies and my air cadet work.
