All the things I had to take out before bringing my mac pro to the fruit company for repair. It has a bad USB Port and bad SATA port.
FYI I am a certified Apple Repair Technician and do exercise ESD safe procedures (just can’t do warranty repairs as I currently don’t work for the fruit company nor a AASP).
