was given a 12 inch MacBook Pro with a broken screen, took me a few hours but managed to install a fresh OS on it (posting from it now) and now trying to figure out if its worth the effort of ordering a new screen and installing it or just hacking this thing into a weird pseudo laptop with an externally powered display (currently using a friends external monitor and its working good)
