I'm selling my MacBook.

These are the specs:

* C2D 2.2 Ghz.

* 4GB RAM (+ the RAM it came with)

* 320 GB HDD

* Superdrive

* Leopard

Comes with:

* Apple Remote

* Magsafe AC Adapter

* Composite Video Adapter

* DVI Video Adapter

* Brenthaven Sleeve

* Original Restore DVDs

It is functionally perfect. Aesthetically, it does have the usual signs of wear. I didn't wrap this thing in plastic foil or treat it like some priceless museum piece, so it does show wear. There are a couple of scratches on the front of the bottom case, though it does not appear to be a crack. It has never been dropped or abused beyond daily use, and has always been transported in it's Brenthaven Sleeve, which is included, inside another bag. Pictures upcoming if requested.

I'm asking for $900 SHIPPED.

I was actually thinking about getting this but after I checked out your review for the Brenthaven Sleeve it seems you've had some issues with your mac.

jaydon34, you are correct. It is the same MacBook. But I assure you, the issue is neither limited nor specific to my MacBook. I have confirmed this through experimenting with an identical MacBook, testing it out at The Apple Store, and from reading plethora of reports on the same issue on both Apple's official board as well as other Mac boards like this one.

Apple's last OS/EFI update simply broke DVI (though apparently not VGA) compatibility with certain displays. It has been a source of frustration for me, to be sure, however I do not expect any of the new MacBooks to work with my specific LCD either, as I'd take it they would have a similarly updated OS and firmware (though I've yet to test this with one of the new MacBooks). This affects all MacBooks (old and maybe new) with an updated OS/firmware.

If you can connect to your external LCD to a MacBook with the latest OS and EFI firmware, you shouldn't have any problem. In the unexpected case that you tested a display this way and the MacBook still will not function with it, I would be willing to take it back for a refund if necessary.

Here are some threads on Apple's board:

I have updated the info on the your linked and the latter thread.
