Which parts from a 27"mid2010 iMac are absolutely NOT needed at all, if decided to turn the iMac into a standalone display using the JCrumbs DockPro board? I can think of a few straight away... the DVD-ROM, The Logic Board, The GRfxCard, the SATA Drive...?

My MacBook (4/512) from 2010 is my daily driver, and let's just say it's faster than my Samsung 2020 Chromebook 3. I just use it to write books and to watch youtube, does anyone think I should upgrade to a higher MacBook? (my budget is $1500 nzd).

Hello, My Mid-2010 15 inch MacBook Pro with High Sierra installed on it has problems with both USB ports. The first was already broken when I bought the MacBook and the second one isn't really broken but disconnects the USB Sticks/External Drives randomly. I tried resetting both SMC and NVRAM...

Hello, I have a problem with my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro. It has High Sierra installed and 6gb of ram. Around 3-4 months ago I installed Catalina through dosdude1's patcher and it worked fine until it started randomly shutting off and beeping. It was also time when the battery just went straight...

So, yesterday I received in my first MacBook Pro. I don't have a lot of money, so I bought a 15" 2010 with the first generation i5. Not bad for what I use it for, mostly web browsing! I have been getting by with a late 2008 13" MacBook unibody that suffered from random freezes often. So I get...

Hi, all. I recently bought the WiFi/Bluetooth upgrade kit from OSXWIFI and followed their instructions (as well as those videos I could find online) to a T. However, while WiFi is working fine, there is NO Bluetooth connectivity and NO Bluetooth showing up in system information. I’ve attached...

I bought a used 2010 MBP base model that had been dropped on the power cable. Paid $20 USD. After opening it up I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief that the power PCB was separate from the logic board! I'm guessing that is because that particular part must require replacement more often than the...

Hi Everyone, First post here. I read the iMac 2011 GPU Upgrade thread and I decided not to reply to that thread as my situation is not a normal case. I'm not sure if anyone can help me here, but after reading that thread I know there are some very educated people on this forum. Backstory: I...

Hi guys, Quick question, I am a student that wants to buy a 5,1 Mac Pro and I noticed that the 2010's have the 5,1 identifier and so do the 2012 models. Looking at the market I can see that the 2010 dual CPU models(which is what I am looking for) are cheaper than the 2012 dual CPU models, is...

Hi, Does anyone know if a 4,1 (2009) case is exactly the same as a 5,1 (2010 - 2012) so components from a 4,1 model will fit into a 5,1 or vice versa? Cheers, Chris

Hi y'all, Recently acquired a 27" mid-2010 iMac(Model A1312, EMC 2390), been planning some upgrades. So far I've got it running OSX 10.12 Sierra, but would like to push it a little bit more. I've got plans to upgrade the CPU, add an SSD, and increase the RAM. The one thing that keeps bugging me...

To make a long story short, I bought 3 2010 MacBooks for the kids as presents for the upcoming holiday (Christmas for us). It was the hardest thing to date so far. Okay, maybe that wasn't much of a description, so I'll elaborate. I've worked in the fire protection industry for almost a decade...

I recently decided to add an SSD to my Mid 2010 27" iMac while keeping the original HDD for storage. I purchased part 922-9531 to be able to keep both drives. Needless to say that the installation was a fun experience. Unfortunately, soon after I put together the machine I noticed that the fan...

Back story: I recently purchased a 2010 MBP for a couple of beers worth of $$ and replaced the charging port for a few more beers worth. To my surprise, the battery looks to be in relatively good health. I have no idea how long it has been stored empty, but hopefully I'll be able to see the...
