[QUOTE="DarthStaalwart, post: 1879798, member: 407521"] Ok, I definitely see that it works with external mouse and keyboard attached via USB. The trackpad and internal keyboard are intermittent - at this moment are dead - but the system goes just fine with the external ones. Can I boot in Recovery mode to wipe out the disk using an external keyboard instead of the internal one? If not, how to do it from inside the MacBook with the external peripherals? I can make a bootable USB for Snow Leopard to wipe out and clean install this. Also, do you recommend me to get a new battery after checking up what's with the cables? I'd very much like to keep saving the little thing, what with it being my first "modern-ish" Mac and everything. [/QUOTE]
