@RonanACNH Doubt it with the little RAM tbh, I’ve seen someppl online say it’s only usable up to Ventura

@SoSourKeiran Yea I mean it only has 4GB RAM, and the charger was broken, as well as its cooked SSD, so I kinda forgot about it 💀

The new charger should come Thursday, hoping that means Wednesday then (normally a day earlier than Amazon says lol)

maybe not

lol I found my old thread from when I tried to fix it first with that broken ssd

not sure which version of macOS I’ll put on this either, I’m trusting that all versions will work with this M.2 SSD (even through the adapter), but might have to use OCLP to get a newer version (Big Sur?) on it

(Only got 4GB RAM btw).

I’m also just hoping that it was actually just an SSD failure that had caused this to break 3-4 years ago anyways.. I’m assuming it is as I tried its SSD in my laptop, and it couldn’t read it whatsoever!

so I’ve just ordered a third-party charger for this off of Amazon.

I know this Mac won’t be great, but I’m only using it for a few weeks or so until the MacBook Neo ships to the store here. At least this Mac has a working keyboard tho, unlike my Lenovo laptop.

the charger for this has been dodgy af for a while now, it’s like totally stripped the protection layer outside the actual wiring for a while, leaving the actual wiring exposed, so I’m not plugging that in (last time I did it broke the extension lead I used 💀)

I tried to fix this back in 2024, but back then I ordered a faulty Corsair SSD which ended up leaving it still not working… but I just realised that my 1tb crucial SSD likely works in it (I’ve got an M.2 → Apple adapter in the SSD slot below the SSD).
