MacBook Pro Residual Value

Background: My macbook pro 2017 model has been almost useless in recent years, and this year I found that the screen has burned and can only be used with an external screen.
My wife said she wanted to use a notebook, so she wanted to fix the screen (salted fish asked for 1700). Then I discovered that I couldn't charge it and turn it on.
So just buy a new macbook air, the national subsidy is less than 6k. Otherwise, it will feel easy to break after repairing it.
Now I don't know where to go with this old mbp. If I sell it, it will probably cost a few hundred, right?
My keyboard was replaced during the warranty. MBP's touchpad, keyboard, and speaker are pretty good. Can you empty out the laptop, leave these three items behind, and then use them in Bluetooth connection mode? If you can, I want to try it hahaha

Anonymous8185 Jun 6, 2025@ Poster I also encountered it. I thought I hit it accidentally, but it turned out to be a screen burn

Anonymous1611 Jun 6, 2025It is recommended to sell it as a broken machine, otherwise it will not be repaired. Are there any other problems?

Anonymous8186 Jun 6, 2025I have also sold the MBP 13 '2017 model before, but Xianyu deliberately lowered the price due to scratches and other messy reasons. I just installed an Arch to play, and it was considered the second spring

Anonymous8187 Jun 6, 2025The same goes for my 2018 model. I can take off even if I open the browser fan, but I estimate that I can only buy more than 2,000 yuan, and I can't bear such a good screen. Now it is used as the secondary screen of mac mini, which is a waste of touchpad. I haven't found the perfect solution yet

Anonymous8188 Jun 6, 2025I have asked this question once https://v2ex.com/t/1080981 How else can I make use of the 2013-year-old MBP high-end configuration? It costs 500 yuan to sell second-hand

Anonymous8189 Jun 6, 2025@ Anonymous618 agrees with this brother's approach. The macbook pro is really durable. If it can be determined that it is a screen problem, buy a screen assembly online (that is, the upper part of the computer with the case together) for about 800. Batteries buy a new one online for about 300 or so; Of course, if there are other problems, or if the problems are not certain, you will be tired after tossing.

Anonymous5886 Jun 7, 2025The screen is only open at a 45-degree angle to show whether it is normal or not. The cable design of the 2016/2017 MBP screen is defective and a little shorter
