Why? Does it work now? Why wouldn't you just hook up an external monitor and keyboard/mouse? Very confused...

It would not be practical to install the damaged MacBook into a computer case. For one thing, cooling could be a serious problem as well as orientating the cables, having access to the optical drive, and so forth.

The best suggestion was from the previous post: Hook the damaged MacBook to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It'll function like a desktop. When I use my MacBook at home, that's exactly what I do. It works well.

Regards.
