Macbook A1181 Repair And Refurb -

So hopefully this makes up for not completing the Mac SE refurb. In this video I tackle an issue with the MacBook not being able to accept optical discs. I also give it a cleaning and replace the thermal paste. And kind of a RAM upgrade too. Oh yeah, and a new battery!

2.0 GHz Core Duo
512 MB RAM (2x 256 MB)
Upgraded to 1 GB
60 GB SATA Hard Drive
Upgraded to 120 GB
Intel GMA950

4x Super drive
