[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1548485"] Once it's booted, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner, then About This Mac, More Info and tell us what results you get. Is the hole you see pretty large and oval, or very small and round? If larger an oval, It's probably the security hard spot, where a security cable can be attached to lock down the machine. Recent Macs, as Pigoo3 said, don't have the eject hole anymore. You use the keyboard to eject stuck disks. As I recall, the installer for Mavericks created two logical drives from which to install, whiz is what you were seeing in Disk Utility. Without knowing the model of the machine, it's hard to diagnose much else. The battery and camera questions depend on the model number, which you should be able to get from the Apple Logo, etc., I described in the first paragraph. If the applications folder has "FaceTime" in it, then that can be used to see if the camera works. [/QUOTE]
