Chosen Solution I recently purchased two used display assemblies from Retina iMacs 21.5” (A1418) and 27” (A1419) respectively. The displays both suffered from broken front glass but where otherwise working fine. The glass is glued to the LCD panel over its whole area (not just the edges). Long story short, I successfully removed the broken glass to reuse them as standalone displays. I didn’t use heat, just pried the glass off with credit card, nylon thread and silicone oil....

Chosen Solution I Have 4GB Of RAM and I have the 2GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo. I was wondering what is the highest CPU I can upgrade to.

If you want you can fiddle with newer operating systems you will have to get a T9300 or T9500 but there have been issues reported....

Chosen Solution I opened my Late 2013 MacBook Pro yesterday for the first time and brushed the internals with a toothbrush. I noticed some build up on the thunderbolt 2 ports and scrubbed it, only to realize they’re actually some kind of lining similar to that spongy foam under the vents. So I accidentally destroyed that lining, and to be fair it was already dry and brittle probably due to heat and age, and I know it probably isn’t crucial to the device’s operation, but does anyone know what is it for?...

Chosen Solution I very recently had some water spill on my MacBook while it was in sleep mode. When I opened it up the screen didn’t come on, so I tried turning on the computer again. The start up sound came on but the screen stayed black. When I noticed it was wet I opened it up and took it apart to inspect the damage. The only damage I could find is the small amount of corrosion shown in the pictures....
