Is this to say you deconstructed the machine and sold individual parts (on eBay)? I'm surprised doing so would have such a good return.

- Scoundreller 9y agoYes. Apple keeps a tight grip on its supply chain, so spare parts are hard to find. But I think I sold the wifi card to someone building a hackintosh.
- orf 9y agoAre they that expensive? I mean, after a quick Google I couldn't find anything with a huge price[1]. That WiFi card goes for £13. I'm interested (and I'm sure others would be), where did you sell the parts and did you use any disassembly guides? 1. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Genuine-Apple-MacBook-Pro-Early-2015-Retina-WiFi-Card-Z653-0194-BCM943602CS/1179762408 https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Genuine-Apple-MacBook-Pro-Early-201...
- Scoundreller 9y agoI just pointed out that part as being one that could go into any computer. Sold the parts on everyone's favourite auction house. Lots of repair guides out there, I used ifixit's. Even though it's a 2011, lots of bricked systems out there that you can get functioning again for $0-$200 dollars in spare parts and a few hours of your time.
