2017 Apple MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar – 512GB SSD – 8GB RAM – Original Box + Genuine Apple Battery – For Parts or Repair
Offered for sale is a 2017 Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar, being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. This is an excellent opportunity for a technician, hobbyist, or anyone looking for a clean MacBook to restore or use for parts.
Cosmetic Condition:
The aluminum chassis is in excellent cosmetic condition. It has been well cared for, with no major dents or significant scratches, making it an outstanding candidate for restoration.
Known Issues (Please Read Carefully):
- Battery: The installed battery is no longer functional, so the MacBook currently must remain plugged into the power adapter to operate. To help with the repair, I am including a brand-new, genuine Apple replacement battery that is factory sealed and has never been installed.
- Display: The display is not functioning properly. I do not know the exact cause of the issue. It may require a simple repair or a complete display replacement. No further diagnostics have been performed.
- Keyboard: A couple of keys feel slightly sticky but remain functional and usable.

Important Functional Note:
The MacBook operates and performs normally when connected to an external monitor. Once connected, it boots properly, functions as expected, and has been successfully factory reset. Based on my testing, the computer itself appears to work well, and the issue seems to be isolated to the built-in display assembly (although I have not performed any professional diagnostics and cannot guarantee the exact cause).
This is encouraging for anyone looking to repair or restore the laptop, as the core hardware appears to be fully functional when using an external display.
