Since it's refurbished nothing is wrong with it. Whatever the problem was it has been fixed. Apple doesn't say what the original problem was and it doesn't matter anyway. It could be anything from someone decided to return the computer to a dead logic board that was replaced, refurbished just means that Apple can't sell it as new but they fixed whatever was wrong with it.

It was done so that you don't mod it with more ram and a bigger hard drive and that makes the new reburb cheaper. It also makes the mod more money than a new one , thus eliminating enterprise on ebay.
