I have the following leftover parts from a project combining two white MacBooks into a single unit. All parts are from the late 2006 A1181 white MacBook with the exception of the motherboard, it is from the mid 2006 first release white MacBook A1181. All asking prices are before shipping and negotiable. Everything is as is and listed to the best of my knowledge.
Display - works but has cosmetic problems and a minor display issue. It looks like it may have been opened against a candle as the outside appears warped and slightly melted. The screen fully works however the area opposite the case damage is dimmer than the rest of the screen. Unfortunately I didn't think about taking a picture while it was able to be turned on. There is also a small crack on the front of the shell. The crack is just in the shell, not the screen itself. This is good for repairing a unit with a broken/dead screen where you only care about it working, not care about it being perfect. This version of the display has 3 wifi antenna wires. Asking $20. Keyboard - works but is missing the M keycap. If you press the socket it registers the M so you can type, just a little awkward. Again good for replacing a fully deal or worse keyboard but not something you probably want on a regular use laptop. I do not know if you can trade the keycap from another keyboard. Asking $5. Slot load combo drive - as far as I remember this is working. I can't say 100% but I'm nearly positive I tested it and it was fine. I do remember the original shell was bent blocking insertion of a disc, and I know I fixed that. I can't imagine I repaired the bend but then failed to test the drive, so I'm nearly sure the drive is working fine. Asking $10 512 MB PC2-5300 SO-DIMM - There are two of these for a total of 1 GB. These work fine. Asking $5 for the pair Wifi card - 802.11a/b/g/n presumably as it uses 3 antenna wires and it looks like all versions of this model supported a/b/g/n other than the first model. This works fine and matches the display. If you are buying the display for the first gen mid 2006 model you might as well get the wifi card and upgrade your b/g card. Asking $5 Battery - Uncharged, probably does not work but I don't know that for sure. I assumed it was not working but after swapping parts and using the new battery I had from the 2nd unit I found that the "good" motherboard doesn't actually charge batteries. So it is possible this battery is fine and simply wasn't charging because of the problem with the motherboard it was paired with. I no longer have others that use this battery so I have nothing to test the battery in. Lets assume it doesn't work since it is from 2006. $1or free if combined with any of the above. Lower shell and motherboard - This is from the first release mid 2006 version. It does not have the wifi card installed. This is just the lower case and the motherboard. As far as I know this does NOT work. I was told someone spilled a Snapple on it and it turned off and wouldn't turn back on. Visually nothing leaps out as clearly blown, but there is one spot that has corrosion. Maybe its the problem, maybe its not. $1 or free if combined with any of the above (except the battery). You can see pictures of the display, keyboard, and corroded spot on the motherboard here: http://www.mythtech.net/photos/index.html Shipping will be out of New Jersey so you can estimate your shipping charges to tack on to the above prices. -chris <www.mythtech.net> -- You received this message because you are a member of the LEM Swap group.
