Hi Everyone,
Someone from my university is selling me their used macbook pro 2011 13" for $100, which is a steal. But she says the keyboard does not work at all. The macbook pro is from china, and I'm concerned whether or not if it's real. She says everything works fine aside from the keyboard. but I'm concerned (aside from the whole real/fake thing) is how does a keyboard just stop working, could it be water damage? The owner does not know.
I already have a macbook pro 2015 but need one for storage/in home PC and for $100 it sounds like it's worth it. I'm scared that it would be a fake though, and is there a way I can replace the keyboard myself? If not would an macbook recognize an external keyboard at the log in screen?
The writing in the back is concerning me whether or not if it's real or not. I understand they manufacture it in china and they do sell them in other countries but it's really different from the bottom of my current macbook.
Thoughts?
