[QUOTE="kelsiesummers, post: 1688457, member: 365192"] Please, please help this damsel in distress. I have been a victim of identity theft before so am extremely paranoid (rightly or wrongly) about it happening again. I have a question which I would love an answer to. I've recently sold my Macbook Pro 2009. Before I did this I removed my hard drive and installed a brand new one. My question is this... [B]Could any of my data from my old hard drive (photos, web history, documents) have passed into the logic board and stayed there?[/B] In particular I'm thinking about the Nvram or SMC. I know these things control backlight/fan etc, but is there ANY conceivable way this could have happened? My paranoia is that the info that made its way across to the logic board (if indeed it did) would have then 'remigrated' to the new hard drive. Thanks in advance, Kelsie. [/QUOTE]
