what to do with a broken macbook pro?

InsomniaX + USB Keyboard/mouse

 

hook it up to monitor and see what happens. it will tell you pretty quickly weather it's usable for anything.

other than that, the RAM is probably worth something and having extra HDD never hurts.

 

Or you could sell it for parts.

I too would recommend InsomniaX with another keyboard and mouse. Also, if you plug in an external monitor, it will wake the computer and not detect the laptop screen. I would recommend looking for a screen replacement and use it next to another Mac, and using Teleport.

 

give it to me

 

If the logic board is working, you could make a fair bundle of money selling that too. Even the case if undamaged ought to bring in a bit.

However, the whole is always worth more than the sum of its parts. If the screen and keys are all that is wrong with the machine, buy a used display for ~$200 and a set of keys for ~$10 and sell the machine as a whole, or keep it. It's probably worth around $1100 working.

(Sorry, my numbers may be a little wonky. I'm trying to convert from Canadian to US dollars as I go.)
