Convert into an iKeyBoard Pro

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Recover and recycle your MacBook Pro and give it a new life for yourself or a family member. You can also give it to someone in need, but make sure they pay the shipping costs or come to thank you and post it on social media.

      • If you have a broken screen or poor image quality, you can remove it to reduce weight and turn your MacBook Pro into an iKeyBoard Pro.

      • By removing the screen, you will no longer have Wi-Fi antennas. If you have a broken iPad, you can recycle its antennas or buy a USB Wi-Fi adapter as the fastest alternative. You can also buy a USB Ethernet (cable) adapter.

      • This device is a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.

      • If we want to continue recycling things and we have a broken iPad, we can remove the Wi-Fi antennas to reuse them.

      • Remove the screen correctly to be able to reuse it if it works and is not broken.

      • If you don't want to get too involved, just buy a USB Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter compatible with the operating system.

      • Now we need to connect the new iKeyBoard Pro to the TV or Monitor and start it up.

      • If the computer's keyboard does not work, or if you prefer to be comfortable on the sofa, you can purchase a wireless keyboard compatible with the iKeyBoard Pro.

      • To select the Apple boot menu with a traditional PC keyboard, press the left ALT key multiple times.

      • We can properly configure the picture quality if needed; using Dynamic or high-contrast mode is recommended to enjoy it.

      • Pass this step on to the future owner if this is a gift or a transfer.

      • If a YouTuber is reading this, show some guts and teach this in a live stream. If you have even more guts, I'll be waiting for you in Counter-Strike: Source, muah :P. First, find me and send me an email. Thanks, handsome or beautiful :)
