PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - COULD BE FOR PARTS OR REPAIRS (BY SOMEONE MUCH SMARTER THAN ME). SOLD AS-IS
All my years doing IT and Telecom and this one puzzles me.
You are looking at a listing for the Apple MacBook Air A1466 13" Early 2014 i5 1.4GHz 8/256. Here are some details:
1. Case is in great condition on top and bottom. I am very particular about keeping my laptops clean on the outside as well as the inside.
2. Keyboard works great and keyboard back light works well.
3. New battery from iFixit purchased late last year.
4. New Fan purchased and installed this past week
6. The screen has this light residue that almost appears to be something similar to old tape removed and the marks left behind. This is very light, cannot be seen at all when the display is on and showing something. Even when off, you need to look hard for it. The screen is very bright.
7. It has the 8GB of memory not 4 such as many sold here. 256GB SSD.
8. It is running Ventura 13.3 thanks to Open Core Legacy
9. I do not have the Power Adapter for it so I will include a certified 85W MS 2 third party adapter.
NOW HERE IS THE PART THAT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND
1. The unit runs fine and fast when not using power adapter. It is a joy to use and I have used it for basic office tasks and tools.
2. When you plug in the AC Adapter, the unit will go to locked screen (sometimes) and sometimes it will run but NOT charge the battery.
3. I purchased this unit for a small non-profit. I noticed that the red markings were displayed on the motherboard so I assume at some time there may have been some liquid trauma. I disassembled the entire machine, including the motherboard, cleaned everything and replaced part with the items I mentioned above.
4. The camera does not seem to work even though the cable has been replaced and been removed and inserted numerous times.
CONCLUSION
For sure this is a nice system when working. Maybe someone smarter than me and with much better tools can look at the motherboard and other areas. It will also be a nice system to tear apart and sell the components,
Please let me know if you have any questions. Please bid with confidence as my feedback rating attests.
