Includes the Apple-Published Service Manual for the MacBook (13-inch, Late 2006)

In support of the right to repair, the Seller is including the Apple-published service manual for the MacBook (13-inch, Late 2006), originally published in 2006 and revised in 2010 (8.5 X 11, 367 pages, fully illustrated with both line art diagrams and 4-color photographs). NB: This service manual will be delivered as a Portable Document Format file, not as a physical book.

Bonus: Includes a Popular Apple Accessory Released in 2005

The Seller is including a “Like New” Apple IR Remote A1156. Released in 2005, the original Apple Remote is roughly the size of a Bic lighter that has been flattened into a rectangle. Originally priced at $29, it had only 6 buttons because only select applications such as Front Row, DVD Player and iTunes were designed to take advantage of the built-in IR sensor that was a standard component in almost every Mac desktop and laptop beginning in 2005.

We include the Apple Remote A1156 because it was a popular accessory in the years following its release and because it has some fun functionality. A new A1156 can be purchased on Ebay, often for less than $5.

The Wikipedia below describes the Apple Remote's functionality and many of the applications it can control. (This Seller can confirm that the A1156 can control the basic features of the latest version of Spotify for the macOS. )

"The Apple Remote's original function was to enable navigation in Front Row, which allows users to browse and play music, view videos (DVDs and downloaded files) and browse photos. Although Front Row was removed from OS X 10.7 and later, some Apple software still works with the remote. It can still be used to control presentations in Apple Keynote, slide shows in iPhoto and Aperture, DVD films via DVD Player, and to play video, and audio in iTunes and QuickTime. Other software that is still compatible includes Elgato's EyeTV 3.5, and VLC media player. The remote can also be used to run presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint 2008 or in OpenOffice.org Impress. Other functions controlled by the remote can include putting a device into sleep mode, selecting a partition to boot from on startup, and ejecting optical discs. A device can be configured to respond only to a particular remote." (from Wikipedia)
