Chosen Solution After removing the burnt battery in my attempt to replace it, I since cleaned the phone, it turns on and I can do all things (as far as I know) except the actual “Turn ON” meaning when I press the power button, it does not turn on, I have to connect it with the power cable and wait till its fully up or it will turn off. Once its up, it stays up and I seem to be able to do all things, including waking it up with the power button and turning it off with the power button....

Chosen Solution I have and early 2009 MacBook with a non-functiional SATA Matshita UJ867A superdrive. I can replace it with the SATA superdrive used in the unibody’s, right?

The customer advised me that he would like the chassis changed as he couldnt deal with the bent chassis anymore....

Chosen Solution The keyboard now types 2 of every key touched, perhaps needs cleaning, does anyone know how to “clean” the keys on this laptop please? http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/you-just-sp… This link might help.
