YouTuber Luke Miani showed how to turn an old MacBook with a non-working screen into a full-fledged computer with an external monitor. MacBook screen replacement is one of the most expensive repairs. Even if the laptop is old, the display can still be very expensive, which is why many people buy another laptop and do not change the screen in the MacBook. But even with a non-working screen, a MacBook can be given a second life, and without replacing the display. The idea is to “decapitate” the MacBook – detach the screen from the topcase, and continue to use the Mac with an external monitor, while still having a good keyboard, trackpad and speakers. In this case, the MacBook will be similar to the Apple I and II, which used exactly the same concept. The most difficult thing in this modification is the disassembly of the MacBook. There are many instructions on the internet. In short: you need to remove the back cover and unscrew a few bolts that hold the hinge and screen, as well as disconnect the display and antenna cables. After that, everything can be collected back. If everything is left as it is, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth won’t work on the MacBook because the antenna is in the screen hinge. The problem is partially solved by the presence of an Ethernet port in older MacBooks. But if Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are needed, you can detach the hinge from the screen. Before removing it, you will have to disassemble it in order to cut off the wire through which the camera is connected. The antenna assembly can then be put back into the hinge and connected to the MacBook motherboard. The 15-inch MacBook Pro, which the blogger took apart in the video, was bought for $66. Considering that only the screen did not work for him, this was a very good buy. ???? Do you want more? Subscribe to our Telegram.
