Well, it lives, at least partly. One RAM slot seems to be faulty. The keyboard doesn't work at all. Up to this point, it fires up as soon as the power is applied. Have stuck in a 250GB 7200 spinner for now, and installing High Sierra. Display is good. Wifi seems to work. Battery shows 100%, so I'm going to be pessimistic and assume that's MacBook-speak for 'dead'. Gets quite warm at one end, pretty much from the get-go,
