Hello, welcome! 👋

Greetings!

Hi Scouter, did this fix the issue? I have no idea what this is until now, it's very cool though from the Wikipedia picture! How long does it last on battery?

Hi guys, Anyone know how to fix broken DIMM slot on a 2009 Macbook Pro? Usual causes / potential causes of issues and how to repair it without outright buying a replacement motherboard? I have zero soldering experience or anything like that.. But I have two Macbook Pro 2009's with only the...

So cool! I haven't read through the entire tutorial because I don't have a working PPC Mac right now. But I was curious to know, how well does the iPhone Simulator run on the G4 iMac? Is development 'nice' on that thing? I recently got a pretty busted up iBook - I'll keep this in mind if I ever...

Hello, Does anyone use an old iPhone as their daily phone? In Australia, I know 3G network is shut or shutting down, not sure what old-ish iPhone models are reasonably usable? Any recommendations? I was keen to get an iPhone 5 (eventually) to accompany my 2012 Macbook Pro which I use regularly...

Not sure if a dedicated thread exists for this. I'm excited to share I acquired: - A second Macbook Pro 2008 (No HDD, RAM, or Battery). It was ~$50 AUD including shipping. - A second Macbook Pro 2009 (No RAM, no batter). It was also around ~$50 AUD including shipping. - An iBook G4! Can't...

The ~2009 Macbook Pro I received from eBay wasn't booting. I opened it up, cleaned it with compressed air and a healthy dose of Elektro spray and reseated the RAM. It lives! Now I'm install Linux on this one, just messing around with it. There is a problem with the hinge, so might look into...

Hello! Thanks for the welcome. My mac's arrived from eBay and I was surprised and impressed by just how usable the 2012 MBP is! The 2008 and 2009 I am playing with currently. It's kind of cool owning these now... When it released it was well over $2500, I got it for under $100 (AUD)! The 2008 is...

Very nice collection! Do you keep them setup? Or more just a collection to display and own because its cool?

Hello, It's nice to be on a traditional forum again. I recently purchased a 2009 Macbook Pro and a 2012 Macbook Pro. Waiting for them to arrive from the eBay seller. I also have two 'Compact Macs' (Can't remember, I think a Plus and an SE/30) in my garage that I bought years ago, but don't...
