Apple MacBook Pro 13", Intel Core i5 2.3GHz, Mid 2017, 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM, A1708.

The laptop stopped working, and when opening it up to check/replace the battery, I noticed that one of the chips had come loose on the mainboard, and the battery had expanded and was stuck to the casing, I hadnt noticed this when i removed the casing, and unfortunately the battery retaining wires came away from the mainboard. So I am selling this for spares and repairs.

I have taken photos of the damage as clearly as I could.

The case is in good condition, as are all other components apart from the mainboard which has the loose processing chip and the missing battery connector blocks and battery itself (which i have recycled already).

It was setup with our apple account, which i cant remove as the laptop wont turn on - but happy to remove this if/when the laptop is ressurected!
