  1. Personally I would say an ANKER or EC Technology brand battery bank. At the end of the ramble of mine is the listings, but I have listed some reasons for m Here are my reasons: -Cheap battery packs can burn up and sometimes don't perform as said on the packaging. -Better Quality Batteries -Cheap Batteries aren't calibrated (When the protection circuit knows how long to charge each cell in the battery pack) -Better Casing (If dropped) -Cheap battery packs don't have Super Charge ports and if they do they aren't real they just say they are And over all by the time you've spent money replacing cheap battery packs and give up, you could have just used one medium priced decent quality one, with no issues. Here are my listings from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014ZO46LK http://a.co/jgu2Sca http://a.co/eS8RWhj Hope this helps and enjoy the future with your MacBook. Josh F
  2. YOU WILL NEED A DESKTOP COMPUTER WITH TWO SATA CONNECTORS, A WINDOWS OS INSTALL DISK (Any one of your choice...) So I recently found my brothers old computer. It's an Acer Aspire 5551 if your curious. Sadly It was broken, and when I'd previously tried powering it on, It would crash at the login screen at create a Boot Dump log. Now If your in this case you might become stuck, especially before you can even get to the BIOS. If you cannot get to the BIOS: A) Get a new hard drive, especially if the computer is old... B) Use a old or present desktop computer that allows space for more than just one SATA connector. (If your hard drive dosen't connect VIA SATA, use any other appropriate connectors, or use a SATA adapter/extension/converter. Then after connection, go to My Computer, and you should see it mounted (If on Mac it should appear on Desktop, more on Macs later). If you do, your probably thinking just go to the bar at the top and click format. Well, you can't do that. especially if it's the C: drive, because the drive has encryption. To bypass this, go to "My Computer", if your still in My Computer skip opening it AGAIN. Click "Properties" (You can also go to the tab bar at the side and right-click on Computer and then on the right-click menu click Properties). On the left-hand side you'll probably see a bar/tab with some choices such as: - Device Manager - Remote Settings - System Protection - Advanced System Settings You'll need to click on System Protection (It should have the Yellow and Blue Windows Security Shield Icon by the side of the text). A bow should have now appeared, with a list of all of your drives. Below the box on mounted drives, is a 'Configure' button. BEFORE YOU CLICK - Click on the drive that is from the other computer, not your C: drive. If you disable protection on your C: your prove to having viruses edit your System Files. If you have clicked on your drive from your other computer (Broken/Old PC), now click the 'Configure' button. It should have some option boxes on a properties page. At the top it should have so called 'System Protection'. Well it should be by default on, well you want to turn it off, for now. Go back to 'My Computer', on Windows 8 it's called 'My PC'. Click on your old drive and now you can format it. Once done, insert your Windows install disk (Which ever one you pick, I suggest Windows 7 or higher, if that, Windows 8). Start with the x32 bit install disk, your PC will tell you if you need the x64 bit disk. If your confident, use the x64 bit disk, but if your unsure use my suggestion Insert the disk into your disk drive and copy the files from the disk over to the Hard Drive of the old computer. In the progress box, make sure it says Copying <> amount of files and NOT Moving <> amount of files. If so cancel. If its COPYING, don't worry. After it's done, but the hard drive in your computer and boot it up Good Luck!
