It’s Alive!

I had been keeping a MacBook Pro with a faulty Logic Board for a while now. I kept it because it had a perfectly working LCD screen. A few days ago my colleague told me that he was getting rid off a MacBook Pro which had a broken screen, dead battery and some other problems. I told him that I would like to harvest the working parts. So I spent a few hours combining parts from the two MacBook Pros.

What I need to get for this MacBook Pro are new battery, 4 GB of RAM and new hard drive; the currently installed 80 GB hard drive is not enough. Perhaps I should install an SSD. I’ll figure it out tomorrow. For now I installed OS X Lion on this MacBook Pro. I was having a little trouble installing OS X. I am saving that for another post.

Repairing a MacBook Pro.

My original MacBook Pro Core Duo I bought back in January 2006 had a crack on the screen bezel.

I found a soon to be discarded MacBook Pro Core Duo with Screen assembly in a really good condition.

30 minutes later I have a seemingly new MacBook Pro.

 

Apple .Mac Webmail is Still Down

Apple might me working on the .Mac service right now. The IMAP has been having problems the whole day, and now .Mac Webmail is completely down.

I’m hoping that Apple is working on adding new features and upgrades to .Mac service right now.

Oh humanity!

What can I do without .Mac service?

I want my email!
