Took the plastic cover off the center by prying easily as to not damage it, remove the electronics by pushing them out the switch end, removed one battery. Maybe I can scavenge an SSD out of one of the 2010 MB Air computers we have piled up with a miniSATA adapter. And the HDD just died, so a $54 SSD will run nicely in it. I've got an old mouse in a drawer, don't know if it works just yet. I have an old Mac Mini that I've resurrected with more RAM and Core2 processor, but it doesn't have a keyboard or mouse. Couldn't remove the plug to replace the batteries. Like giving it away (so I don't have a bunch of old crap around but someone else is happy).Ī coworker threw an A1314 keyboard away from one of our few remaining Macs. I hate to see functioning hardware thrown away if it can be fixed and put to good use. Repaired monitors by replacing the blown capacitors that usually makes them die. Rebuilt many an IBM Thinkpad from parts, my desktop has an old server SATA/SAS RAID card in it that's smoking fast. I've been salvaging computer stuff for ages.
