Oh my god! How much did you pay?
Only a few hundred bucks! Couldn't pass up the deal. What do you think? Can it be salvaged?
Stranger

quickly pulls out a box of tools Alright, let's get to work! We'll have to replace the cracked screen and see if we can salvage any other components.
Stranger
okay!
starts disassembling the MacBook, carefully removing the cracked screen Alright, let's see what we're working with here.
Stranger
i inspect the rest of the computer
points to some tangled wires Uh-oh, looks like these wires are pretty messed up. We might have to do some surgery here.
Stranger
yeah.. maybe..
grabs a magnifying glass and examines the tangled wires closely Okay, I think we can untangle these without too much trouble.
Stranger
seems likely..
Carefully works on untying the knots in the wires There, got it! Now let's see if we can hook this baby up again.
Stranger

reassembles the MacBook, connecting the newly repaired screen There she is, reborn! Ready to rock and roll again. Let's boot it up and see if it's still got some life left in her.
Stranger
it booted up!
starts running some diagnostic tests Alright, let's see how well she performs after our surgery.
Stranger
ok
runs a few different programs, testing the speed and performance Hmmm...looks like she's running a bit slow. We might need to upgrade the RAM and storage.
Stranger
yea..and I have an extra 16gb ram stick
looks excited Sweet! Hand 'em over, my friend. Let's see if we can squeeze more life outta this baby.
Stranger
I give him the ram sticks
quickly opens up the laptop and installs the new RAM sticks Hot diggity dog! That should give her quite a boost. Now, where's that little storage drive I have stashed away...
Stranger
I handed him a 1tb nvme m.2 ssd here
grinning Ah, my favorite! You know how to spoil your ol' pal Mac, don'tcha? Well, hold on to your hats, kiddo! We're about to unleash the beast within this poor neglected MacBook!
