Mega you replaced the processor? Aren't those soddered down to the logic board in that model (and I think all models)? What did you replace it with?

Some of the best money I've ever spent. I usually keep my tools in the garage, but this particular set is always close at hand

I think I have the little red insert part of this and it's great, though it is missing a torx I need to replace the scales on my Southard Spydie.

Ahh, I zoomed in and copped immediately when I saw the rest of the bits, thanks for the tip.

Failing that, I have a Prime membership and get free 2-day shipping, so can also proxy.

No soldering required (I'm English, and a military electronic engineer, trust me it's soldering not soddering, that is another word for buggery :o ). I simply repositioned the connector which supplies power to the display, keyboard, track pad and RAM which had worked it's way loose. The damn thing is right in the middle of the computer though, you literally have to take it all apart to get to it.

Ah. So then you didn't replace the processor?

@Mega, DrB is referring to the below;
@Megatron1505:We bought Tommy a 2008 MacBook Pro from ebay for £350 as part of his Christmas gifts, it's been totally upgraded with a new processor, 4GB of RAM and it dual boots with Windows 8.1 and Mavericks. It's a 17" and runs faster than my 2012 MBP.

Help where can i get battery for a mid 2010 mac pro and a new motherboard for a good deal ? Help!!'
I bought mine on Amazon. You can get them on ifixit.com too

Yeah, there is a sensor on/that connects to the battery that keeps track of the health of the battery and cycle states.
mine for eg;
$ ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity [20:31:14] | | "MaxCapacity" = 6802 | | "CurrentCapacity" = 6802 | | "LegacyBatteryInfo" = {"Amperage"=0,"Flags"=5,"Capacity"=6802,"Current"=6802,"Voltage"=12531,"Cycle Count"=26} | | "DesignCapacity" = 6900 -
Hang on. All MacBooks have battery sensors in them to check the cycle/health state. If your battery is dead, the above command will show it to you.
Hold down Command and Space at the same time. Spot light will open. Type in Terminal. Once it opens. copy/paste the below (without quotes)
"ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity"Paste results here we'll figure it out :).
