Seriously... I'm wondering what to do!
And in-order to get suggestions, I'd thought I'd ask you folks 🙂
What would you do in my situation when your MacBook Pro's keyboard and trackpad fails? Would you...
Option 1:
Try to make repairs?
Maybe buy a replacement topcase, keyboard, trackpad or logic-board😱
(I'm pretty good with tools...)
Option 2:
Flog it for spares and parts?
Cash goes towards a replacement (or a vacation).
Option 3:
Recycle the machine by ripping off it's head;
selling the display - cause some other Joe would need it...
use the reminder as a media server and store it on book case?
Option 4:
Recycle the machine by ripping off it's head;
Rehouse the display and use it for a cheap TV in the toilet... 😀
Re-install MacOSX Client/Server use the base as a headless web developer on the network?
Exchange the SuperDrive for a cheap opti-bay then install a additional HDD (possible RAID options)
It's battery would act as a cheap UPS should a blackout occur... That's gotta be one up from a MacMini! 😉
Option 5:
Discard the unit and move on.
Option 6:
Other (please specify)
