#Walmart apple macbook pro 2011 charger mac#
I sell and repair Mac's, but I'd never recommend them to anyone unless they need a program that only works on Mac OS. I've helped many an Apple person switch over to PC's, and 90% of them have been happy in the end. People that actually NEED a Mac for their work (music people mostly) are absolutely livid because they're having to replace their Mac every year or two. That Apple tax exists everywhere, regardless if you're buying a new Mac from the Apple store, getting your old Mac fixed at the Genius bar, buying a refurbished Mac from me, or having me (or anyone else) fix your old Mac, you're going to pay the Apple tax. Like it's my fault that Apple parts are so freaking expensive. And of course the client is ****** because they just put all that money into it. Almost every single Mac that I fix comes back less than a year later with some other new unrelated problem. They market themselves as having good quality stuff, but I have NEVER had as many problems with HP's or Dell's as I've had with Apple's. My hatred for Apple and their shoddy products knows no bounds. So after a month of screwing with the thing, I gave up and threw it in the garbage. NOPE! It ended up being the freaking logic board. NOPE! Then it must be either the inverter cable or the LVDS cable. I figured it was the inverter, so I bought a new inverter. My first Macbook I ever got in that had a totally weird problem was a non unibody white Macbook. One of them has a bad HDD cable (I think, we'll see when I get the replacement in), another one has an intermittent trackpad problem (I've ordered a new trackpad, but it wouldn't surprise me if it ended up being the logic board, or the webcam or some other off the wall thing that's actually causing the problem), and the third one has a bad SSD socket as a new SSD hasn't helped (it takes 45 minutes to boot). I have 3 Macbook Pro's on my bench right now. Then you can flip the bad one on eBay, or waste hours of your time trying to figure out what's actually wrong with it only to pull your hair out and curse Apple, praying that the horrible company dies a quick death. They're nothing but a headache, but if you can sell them a refurbished one for 1/2 the cost of buying a new one, and take their old one in trade, most people jump at that. I trade in almost every Mac that comes through my door. Not saying that Mac repair isn't profitable. The older stuff was much better, but once they went with unibody designs the quality tanked about 70% or more. The fact of the matter is, Macbooks are made like crap. Something that you'd NEVER see in any PC, even the cheapest piece of crap from Walmart. Almost every Mac I get in has some sort of weird freaking problem I've never seen before. Anyone that's good with Mac's that realizes the problem? Would appreciate it. I had to do it with an external keyboard. It works to do an SMC reset with the built in keyboard, but NOT a PRAM reset. After refitting it works for one reboot and stops working. I experiment alittle, putting the keyboard connector in again, refitting. I reboot and guess what, ONE of the USB ports (on this model, they are right next to eachother, so on the same chip) stops working, and the keyboard + trackpad stops working. Boom, shapowa, it turns on and everything works fine. Put on charger, keep holding power for 10 seconds. It works like this, remove charger, hold power button 10 seconds. I find out about something I wasn't aware of before, some kind of weird boot. At first it's exactly the same as before. Okay, I try all the typical stuff like SMC and PRAM reset. Only has a dim green light when the charger is put on.
