Is anyone good at repairing pic-related? A friend of mine who's house was raided for steroid sales gave this to me but it won't boot up. It belonged to his wife. They bought it in March 2007 from Apple Store. Upgraded it to 2gb ram, it had core2duo, was running OS lion. It powers on, but nothing appears on the LCD and it starts spinning a disc that's caught in the SuperDrive really fast. Do I need to tear this thing down to get the disc out and to make sure the LCD is still good? This Mac was given to me for free so I'd like to at least get it to work so I could use it for basic shit. And I think it looks cool.

if anything gut it and use the monitor

most slot loading drives have an eject button at the edge of the slit that you can press with a paperclip. Try an external monitor and see if you get a picture, you're going to need a mini DVI adapter

Found your problem.

Lol I know but it's free. I'd like to fix it for the hell of it

Will a flathead screwdriver work? It looks like I need an old school FireWire cable to plug in a different monitor.

I'm not even sure if the LCD works or not. The computer powers on but doesn't boot. The screen stays black but the disc drive starts spinning fast as shit
Julian Richardson
Sure. And no, you need a mini DVI cable or adapter.

Fuck that. Do this:
1. Unplug for 10 seconds
2. Plug in but don't turn on
3. Hold down left mouse button
4. Power on and keep holding mouse button.
Disc should spit out, no gay paperclip required.
