Cyberdevs Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 @STLVNUB Having a collection of useful things is always good but having other resources at your disposal is even better. Every Mac device has a Serial Number and a Model Number underneath, under or at the side which can help you determine the specs of that machine. You can use that and identify the exact spec on everymac.com I use it all the time to see what are the hardware specs. Thought you might like to check it out in case you didn't collect all the ACPI and System settings in the world. Not to discourage you but I personally never share my System Information on web sites because it includes the Serial Number for my devices and many other people might share the same view as I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Main Reason For The App Was I Got a MBP With Dead Screen I Installed it Flying Blind App Runs At Login Its Easy To Generate A New Serial Number We Hackintoshers Are PROBABLY Already Sharing Serial Numbers With Apple Products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 That must have been so hard! I usually use an external display when I deal with a MacBook with a busted display, actually I do have a 2013 MacBook Pro with a dead display so I opened it up disconnected the display connector from the logic board and taped the display connector to avoid short circuiting the logic board and used my 24" LED as the main display. The reason for disconnecting the display on the logic board was to make the MacBook detect the external display way faster. If you leave the display connected it will only detect the external display when macOS is booted to desktop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to take the whole display off, just disconnect the connector from the logic board and put some tape around it and make sure it's not making any contact to the other components so all you need to do is just disconnect the connector from the logic board as shown in step 11 in the guide I posted. That's what I did because I still needed the WiFi antennas to be attached and since they are installed around the display taking the whole thing off will affect the WiFi signal immensely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
