    And this entire side thing was a giant whataboutism. All laptops have always been unique. It’s why I made sure to point out things like the pentalobe screws. But you were so desperate to defend Apple that you grabbed at laptop mobos as your only hope. Think also things like Apple keyboards/mice using RJ-11 connectors, TSR connectors, ADB connectors, etc… Always refused to use any standard for a long time. Other things like ADC for monitors. No one else does this.

    The correct answer for that other model is that you just dump it in the trash

    What are you, 5 years old? You ask a question, got an answer and this is the best response you could think of? Bad troll. Also, it’s not “easy to stock parts for most Macs when you’re running a refurb shop”, since with Apple doing “parts pairing”, those parts don’t work. It’s been happening since 2018.

    And you know CMOS batteries leak and can permanently fry the mobo. And again, this is Apple it’s not a standard CMOS, it’s a PRAM battery, same thing, different name.
