Edit: Moved to Macbook Pro section for more streamlined help.
So I've had this Macbook Pro since it was new in 2014. Love it, but the logic board just went out and it's going to cost $625 to fix. I'm not sure I'd want to do that so I have some questions:
1 - Is there any way I can pull the hard drive out and use it in another MBP like a 13" or even other computers, or are they generally not compatible that way?
2 - Can I take the SSD out and get all of the data off of it easily?
3 - If I fix it, I could only get like $900-$1000 max from what I've seen. Would it be worth more if I don't fix it and just sell the whole unit for parts? Price difference seems to be $275 - $375 max.
Any other tips or things I'm not thinking about? I'm not great with hardware so I apologize for what could be basic questions.
