    With damaged MacBooks you don’t even have to remove the display. Just connect an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Probably true of most laptops actually.

    Removing the display just seems like more trouble than it’s worth.

      On the flip side, as pointed out in the video, removing the display gives you access to the keyboard (with Touch ID), trackpad, and decent quality speakers in a much cleaner footprint. And it’s really not that difficult to do.

    “In this YouTube video about “headless” MacBooks, the YouTuber explores the concept of repurposing damaged MacBooks by removing the display and using them as desktop machines. They demonstrate the step-by-step process of converting a MacBook into a Mac Mini-like device and address the challenge of losing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality due to the removal of the display. The YouTuber improvises a solution by taping the Wi-Fi antennas into the clutch cover, restoring Wi-Fi connectivity. They highlight the resourcefulness of individuals in keeping older machines functional and the need for manufacturers to make repair more economically viable. The video concludes by asking viewers for their thoughts on the project and whether Apple should make replacement parts more readily available.”
