[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1622975, member: 175845"] A cheaper approach would be to get hold of a compatible external and working drive to use it for testing to check whether the MacBook can even boot and run from it. There may be other problems that not even a new OS X install or a replacement hard drive can fix. Just a thought, especially on a unknown MacBook's state when acquired… other than "not working". :D [/QUOTE]
