dead

so i figured i would try to install linux on my old 3,1. so i installed an old ssd, popped it in, turned on the mac and nothing. i get a solid white led and no chime. nothing on the usb either, hence no led on the mouse and no caps led on the keyboard. so diving into some of the support forums...

Hi, I am not an electronics' specialist. A week ago I replaced the battery in my old but perfectly working MB Pro. This was its second battery change since purchase. The new battery was aftermarket but listed as "original"! After connecting the charger, the LED on the Magsafe lit up green...

Hi everyone! My Macbook Pro 17 2011 does not turn on - completely dead! It worked just fine until 2021. In 2021, I changed the battery in an authorized Apple service shop. When I went to collect the MBP, it did not turn on - dead. The Apple genius told me it was a "glitch", took it back to the...

The title might be a bit misleading, but let me explain. Two months ago, a friend of mine gave me an Apple A1016 keyboard, that he got for 5€. I couldn't pair it with anything at first, but I soon found out that I have to type in a "secret" PIN (0000 in my case), before I enter the pairing...

So I picked up the studio display from Best Buy on Friday. Had guest over Saturday so I wasn't able to really test it until later. Plugged into 16 inch 2021 MBP (M1 Pro). Problem is it will not wake from sleep. Calm shell or lid open it remains dark. I have one of the LG 24 ultra fine and that...

Was using my phone this morning and saw a wonderful stuck bright pixel right on my camera app icon. Bright green, except when the screen is pure black, it’s gone. I am on the Apple upgrade program (first time/first year). If I replace the phone, will I have issue later on when I swap? Thanks!

I followed step by step an iFixit guide on replacing the Mac's old ass drive. Everything seemed good, except when I turned it on, it wouldn't POST. I heard the fan spinning (and with further testing the old drive spinning), but after 5 seconds it would power off. It would then power on again...

Did anyone just catch John Ternus saying... "making our transition nearly complete with only one product left to go, the Mac Pro" That sound like the 27" iMac will not get updated to Apple Silicon. I hope it's not true. 😟

so here is the rundown, when i got my dp 1 ghz QS, it booted and ran fine. then i unplugged it and let it sit for months on end because i got my mdd up and running. now that i want to see if the QS fires up again, i get nothing. i tore apart the psu to see a scorch mark on the housing wall so i...

This is my very last ditch effort to revive my Macbook Pro. I don't want to waste anyone's time on here, so I made sure to exhaust every other option available to me via online tutorial videos, and other forum posts. I have tried everything I can think of. I was working as usual on my MBP last...

I have a 2019 Macbook Air that is dead. I've had pretty poor experiences with the Apple Store in the past so we brought it to a local repair center that we trust. He's telling me that he believes it is the T2 chip. Machine: Apple MacBook Air (13-inch Retina display, 1.6GHz dual-core Intel...

Hello everybody. I've got a 12" MacBook retina A1534 2016 model with dead internal SSD. Since it's a well know hardware failure in those models and repair does not worth the effort nor buying a new Logic Board, I'm here to ask if somebody have managed to "put an other drive inside". This model...

So as the title said my drunk ass fell asleep while watching Netflix and having some soup... wake up next day, put the Mac away and didnt notice anything. At night I took it again to watch some shows and it didn't respond to anything so I thought the battery was dead. Then I saw liquid coming...

I have a macbook air m1 base model, after it was 9 months old, suddenly when I tried to turn it on nothing happened. Black screen like no power, tried connecting to charger and pressing the power button for 10 seconds nothing happens. After contacting Apple, it is advisable to visit the...

First off the details of the system. Target System [The one that's dead] - Macbook Pro 13 inch Late 2019 , Touchbar version. , 11.x (Big Sur, can't specify the exact version since I don't remember what the version was) Host System [Being used for restoring] - Mac mini late 2014 (using USB C to...

Hello all, this is my first time on the forums. I recently picked up an older 2013 Mac Pro for super cheap at a local surplus store and brought it home to find no CPU or memory. I got a 10 core processor for $85 on ebay (E5-2690 V2) and 32gb of memory. When I installed them and powered on the...

Have a Late 2016 MBP 15”. Last week the screen went black while using it. Did SMC, PRAM, VRAM resets. Hooked up to an external monitor and it worked just fine for a few days. NOW nothing happens. Won’t turn on. Won’t make noise, no fans, no blips nor bleeps. I was prepared to order a new...

My 2017 Macbook died. I think. The screen glitched and then it went dark. No pulse. I've run into vid card and PSU issues on my Mac Pro and PC so I'm thinking it's probably one of those. I've never tried to replace parts on a laptop, and frankly, I would almost rather buy a new laptop. Thoughts?

Dear community members, I have a MacBook Pro 13" from 2017 without touch bar. When it was new, it worked great. Accidentally, I dropped it once about two years ago, but for months I had no issues and it only had a small dent which is hardy noticeable, the screen is fine. It has no liquid...

I get the feeling we all have at least one or eleven of these tucked away somewhere. They may be future projects, donors, or even cobblestones for your own paved road to best-laid intentions. So I’ll start.
