Laptop will turn on and function, but GPU is bypassed as it had the common desoldering failure issue. As a result of the GPU bypass, the following functions are not available:


-screen brightness control not working

-keyboard backlight control not working

-HDMI output not working

-laptop will not wake from sleep, it must be fully powered down and then turned on.


These can be fixed with various software patches but I’m just tired of having to deal with them.


Cosmetically, the laptop is in good condition for the age. I’ve taken photos of the worst scuffs/dents. Rubber display trim is slightly peeled around the webcam as shown in photo.


Display is in great condition. Has the common slight surface pitting from contact with keys and trackpad as per photo.


Laptop had the entire battery/keyboard/trackpad unit replaced on warranty in 2017.


Comes with a charger in rough cosmetic shape with some cable fraying but functions. Also comes with a neoprene sleeve for protection.


Laptop is running OS Catalina as per photo.
