SOLD: 2009 13" Macbook Pro (dead)
#1
Just got this machine in a deal, and decided I don’t want to spend the time to get it back in working condition. When plugged in, the magsafe light is orange or green, depending on whether it’s charging. The battery indicator light on the side seems to show battery levels successfully, so it is my hunch that the battery will hold a charge. So, based on what I’m seeing, I’d guess it’s either a logic board, keyboard, or power system issue. But perhaps it’s something else, I don’t know. Based on checking the serial number on the bottom case, it’s a mid-2009 model. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ma...specs.html Includes FW800 port and SD card slot. I’ll include a 160gb hard drive, no OS is installed. I will include the 2gb RAM chip that came with it. Includes 3rd party battery.

Cosmetically, it’s in good condition. Screen doesn’t have any visible damage, some minor scuffing/scratching at various part of the body. Hinge feels nice and tight. It is possible that this machine was liquid damaged and the seller didn’t disclose that to me, but i don’t see any surefire indicators of this when I took off the bottom of the case. The moisture sensors in the RAM area are still white. Photos available upon request.

I’d like $225 shipped for this, or best offer. This includes a magsafe adapter and 160gb hard drive.

I recently had a MBP with similar symptoms.

Open the case, find the battery connection, disconnect it/reconnect it, trying booting (you may need to run disk repair and then point it to the startup drive the first time).

Nothing to lose by trying -- good luck
