-I’m with Louis on this one as well and my XP notebook that I found evidence of probable ESD damage evidence is actually built from garbage chassis with bad screens, keyboards and missing parts. I just grabbed parts from too far gone units with issues like drop damage and sticker goop I can’t easily clean and made it so you can’t tell it was built from that kind of thing. Since it was built accordingly, I can try again with another unit.
+I’m with Louis on this one as well - your garbage is fair game. My XP notebook that I found evidence of probable ESD damage evidence is actually built from a garbage chassis that probably had a bad screen and subpar plastic parts. Since I had enough to work with, I just grabbed parts from too far gone units with issues like drop damage and screens that were also busted. Since it was built accordingly, I can try again with another unit and I won’t feel bad about writing it off.
It’s the primary reason I could get such a nice unit that would easily hide in a well preserved corporate machine that was never built from such a parts supply - started with 8 systems with hardware I consider garbage because of various (expensive) issues I would want nothing to do with (bad screens, keyboards, chassis damage, etc). Since I was dealing with multiple units, I had all of the needed and the parts I liked were all available to pick from at will.
Yes, that notebook is the product of dumpster diving through corporate garbage - but you’d never know unless I told you since it’s near impossible to tell. Anyway, this video from Louis pretty much covers the issue well with Apple. If someone throws it away because it’s garbage, it’s 100% fair game to the party who wants it.
