Chosen Solution I have a 20” EMC 2118 iMac that will be parted and/or recycled. I was wondering, since modern day iMacs and Macbooks do not have optical drives, if there is a kit I could purchase to convert the EMC 2118 optical drive to an external optical drive should I need one. Thank you in advance for your help. Sadly, you have a few issues that don’t make this very practical....
Chosen Solution I found the culprit; we have a small liquid spill from a sticky substance, maybe pop. It’s right between the heat CPU sink and the AirPort card. Switch the hard drives and see if your results change.
Chosen Solution Cannot select with MM2. I can move cursor but cannot click. Also disables my ability to select on trackpad. If I turn off MM2, trackpad functions normally. Try going to system preferences > trackpad > see if “tap to click” box is checked.

Chosen Solution my computer runs very slow on the internet Test your internet using https://speedtest.net. Test it on different devices. If your results are faster on other devices, the problem is your laptop. If your other devices are slow too, the problem is your internet or wireless router. If your problem is internet or wifi router, first ask your service provider about your internet plan. If you have 1-10, that is quite slow....
Chosen Solution In 2010 I bought a new (at the time) Macbook Pro 13" for college. Well into it’s second year, it was inside a bagpack with a water bottle with a cap that was a little loose, and water slowly leaked inside the bag.
