ifixit is a great place to find help for your problematic electronics so let’s try to keep it organized for everyone’s sake !
different year and models may have different and or similar behaviours when problems occur and therefore we need to be organized . So please only post in this thread if you have the SAME YEAR MacBook as original post .
Make a new thread with your model and year so it’s easy for other people to quickly find relevant solutions .
Also please keep things factual , your feelings , intuitions and opinions are very important but they just confuse , mislead and bloat the troubleshooting thread ! [br]
