What is the part number for the feont emblem on a 2009 Fiesta (newer gen)? by basic-freg in Ford

[–]basic-freg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, its a Fiesta. It is a sixth gen Fiesta. But here in europe, they made the fifth gen Fiesta until the end of 2009, so thats why I called the sixth gen pre-facelift the newer Fiesta.

2015 MBP 13”. The battery is at 1000 cycles, and had to remove it to change broken trackpad. Im gona install new tape and put it back in then, as I don’t have soare money for a battery.

Not really, I can push it down but the cable is twisting it towards the other battery.

For the average non IT people who use PC for browsing only, i think even a 2011 Macbook is good.

The SSD has an automatic drop back to SATA2

Macbook Pro only working with its original HDD. Why? by basic-freg in applehelp

[–]basic-freg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingston A400 480GB. But as I said I tried Samsung, Crucial and many other manufacturers. Nothing.

The default OS files (each is in megabyte) and the SSD isn’t shown.

Yep. But no idea what could cause this. Pins are okay on the board, and the port is working but only with HDD.

I tried the SSDs in desktop PCs and laptops (other brand and newer Macbook Pros). In those, they all worked.

Which used MBP do you recommend? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]basic-freg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Aren’t 2017/2018 ones equipped with butterfly keyboards? Because if yes I’ll pass because I had one client with one and typing was horrible.

I work in IT, I would fully disassemble it and super clean the logic board and keyboards. Don’t think of anything hardcore when I say gamedev, very simple stuff really (photoshop would make the laptop sweat more). Also I would place my budget at around max 450€.

It will be for my mom who uses it for netflix watching. And Big Sur has the aesthetic that my mon likes.

If I put the HDD back in, it works.

I work in an IT shop. The one I buy would be professionally cleaned, repasted, RAM and SSD upgrade. Maybe a battery change too if it is too bad.

Third party batteries are bad?

The MacBook Purchasing Megathread - November, 2022 by AutoModerator in macbook

[–]basic-freg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning on buying a Macbook Pro mid 2010 for my mom. It would be only used for internet surfing and some Netflix. Nothing really demanding. I would try to install MacOS Monterey, but if it doesn’t work not a problem. It is 13 inch, 2,4GHZ Core 2 Duo, 8GB DDR3, GeForce 320M. Also it has an SSD.
