    A2159 gets hot and nothing else?

    Hey all, so a while back I had a friend give me an A2159 (2019 MacBook Pro) chassis with everything in it except for the motherboard to toy around with.

    I have an iMac7,1 (aluminium, the older thicker one), and a 5,1 Mac Pro. I've moved on from my iMac because it wasn't powerful enough, but I'd still want to keep its contents.
