[QUOTE="Cruxcrater, post: 1496428, member: 294529"] I have a broken macbook (got dropped from a very large height) and when i took a look at it to see the damage, the screen was shattered, the touchpad was cracked, and the hard drive sounded like a maraca. When I asked how much it would cost to repair, apple told me more than $2000! So, I did some research myself and found part replacements and guides for replacing them and the total cost came out to $150. So I set to work. After 20 hours straight of researching repairing and waiting for disk utility to finish formatting stuff, I finally realized that my computer wasn't working because of a kernel panic, so I tried booting from a USB with the operating system installer (properly installed). I tried using external drives, different boot modes, and all sorts of things and I still cant get it to work, so any ideas? [/QUOTE]
