Hello,
My friend gave me his old Macbook, and said that if I could fix it, he'd let me keep it....being a bit of an enthusiast...I had to say yes lol. Anyway, the problem is that, the Macbook actually does not turn on when you press the power button....so I checked the battery and it still has 2 bars of life in it when I hold the button on the back down....puzzled, I opened the top casing to see to if anything was actually damaged. Everything looks OK....the only bit that looked slightly dodgy was this:
And this was located just under this...
So yeah, I don't know much about Mac's I'm more of a PC guy and have no idea what that object that appears to be slightly broken is...does anyone know? And is it at all fixable, and if so, what sorta of prices am I looking at to get it fixed? Any idea what that component is, and what it indicates would be cool.
Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Also, the model number is A1181.
