My hard drive crashed and my optical drive stopped working. I lost some unbacked-up data, and I cracked something on the motherboard while trying to diagnose the problem with the optical drive, resulting in the display not working.<p>I don't have the funds for a new computer so, as a long-shot, I'm wondering if anyone here has a Macbook that's not in use and lying around that you're willing to sell for a cheap price?<p>My email is in my profile if anyone can help out.
You'd best post the model number (found on the underside, near the hinge) - you can't just swap out Apple motherboards and expect everything to work, in my experience.<p>If the data's urgently required, you can probably grab a cheap [PS]ATA-to-usb adaptor and mount the volume on another machine running osx (or linux).<p>Good luck...
