, Is currently in the hands of Carl Frega in North Carolina. Mr. Frega said he bought the laptop off of Craigslist for parts, but kept the computer together because he was able to get it working again.
Exactly where the laptop came from before it landed in Mr. Frega’s hands is something of a mystery.
After installing a new hard drive and Snow Leopard, he sold the laptop on Craigslist. The new buyer took the MacBook Pro to an Apple Genius Bar for maintenance, but was denied service because they thought the machine was cobbled together with third-party parts. The owner ended up suing Mr. Frega claiming he was sold a counterfeit computer.
