Definitely agree there, my grandmother loves using her iMac. Definitely super easy to set up to be accesible.

Use enough flux, wick, and a wide chisel tip. Soldering gun will help and you can preheat the board for better results as well as reflowing the solder before removing it. Use a snug nozzle on dip pins, and also wiggle the chip when you are done and don't pry, as it can rip pads off. Remove the...

you are definitely correct, I used to have a 15" 2009 i7 mac that I used for many years, should have kept it. Funnily enough this machine was also a Core 2 Duo.

I didn't even put mine back in. Slot is emply lol

Nice, hope it works out well for you! I'm sure you know how to install sockets already

I should test out my Powermac G4 and G4 Aluminum on this.

Fixed it. Tore it down completely then built it back up. Made a new universal installer of 10.4 and installed through target disk mode on a machine with a much more stable and quicker drive. Then, installed the update. Everything seems stable for now.

This macbook was 19.99 at the shop I went to, having a few bins of stuff. I definitely want to try turning it on and testing it with my benchtop supply

I use these. That's a Digikey key link but I'm sure you can find them on Mauser. In reality any 64 pin DIP socket works but I prefer machined pin sockets

Does anyone have a good iso or dmg i can burn to a disc?

okay, this is frustrating. I swapped out a working pram from another system so: 1GB ram SD to IDE adapter (64GB, SDXC) Installed from target disk mode via another system. Used a download link from shuriken to start downloading 10.4.11, a little before the download is complete it crashed again...

Hi. Today I found a unibody 2009 13" MacBook Pro at the thrift. Here is what it looks like: I noticed that the palmrest had some very bad indents in it. Upon further inspection, it seems someone else has been inside the MacBook. A few screw heads were definitely showing signs of use...
