MacBook Pro (Edmonton N9)
FREE: Apple MacBook Pro 13‐inch (2019 model) — fully wiped, needs simple free fix NO FAULTY HARDWARE — 100% working internally, this is a software/network recovery issue only (explained below) ENTIRE DRIVE HAS BEEN FULLY & SECURELY ERASED — zero of my data, files, accounts or anything remains, completely clean and safe to give away. ⚙️ FULL OFFICIAL SPECIFICATIONS Model: Apple MacBook Pro (13‐inch, 2019) Colour: ☐ Space Grey ☐ Silver Display: 13.3‐inch LED‐backlit Retina IPS, 2560 × 1600 native @ 227 ppi, P3 wide colour, 500 nits brightness, True Tone colour adjustment Processor: • ☐ 1.4 GHz Quad‐Core 8th‐gen Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz, 128 MB eDRAM (2‐port model) • ☐ 2.4 GHz Quad‐Core 8th‐gen Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 4.1 GHz, 128 MB eDRAM (4‐port model) • Build‐to‐order options existed up to 2.8 GHz Core i7 Memory (RAM): ☐ 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 (standard) ☐ 16 GB — soldered onboard, not upgradable Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 (2‐port) / 655 (4‐port) Storage: ☐ 128 GB ☐ 256 GB ☐ 512 GB ☐ 1 TB ☐ 2 TB — Apple NVMe SSD, very fast Ports — IMPORTANT: NO OLD‐STYLE USB PORTS: • ☐ 2 × Thunderbolt 3 / USB‐C ports (both sides same speed) — supports charging, data up to 40 Gb/s, DisplayPort, USB 3.1 Gen 2 • ☐ 4 × Thunderbolt 3 / USB‐C ports • 3.5 mm headphone jack only — NO HDMI, NO SD card, NO USB‐A (big rectangular ports) — everything uses the small oval USB‐C connection Special features: Touch Bar with integrated Touch ID fingerprint sensor, Apple T2 Security Chip, full‐size backlit UK keyboard, Force Touch glass trackpad, ambient light sensor Wireless: 802.11ac Wi‐Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 Camera & audio: 720p FaceTime HD camera, high‐dynamic‐range stereo speakers, 3× studio‐quality microphones Battery: Built‐in 58.0 Wh lithium‐polymer, official rating up to 10 hours wireless web, comes with ☐ original 61 W USB‐C power adapter + cable ☐ no charger Dimensions & weight: 304.1 × 212.4 × 14.9 mm, 1.37 kg Original OS: macOS Mojave 10.14; officially supported up to macOS Sequoia 15 / 2025, will get security updates for years to come. ⚠️ CURRENT CONDITION & WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW When you turn it on, you will see a spinning globe icon, then after a few minutes it shows: support.apple.com/mac/startup ‐2003F 👉 LET ME BE 100 % CLEAR — THIS IS NOT A BROKEN MACBOOK, NO PART HAS FAILED 👈 • I did a full factory reset and erased everything on the internal SSD — this also erased Apple’s small hidden recovery partition, so it has to try and load recovery over the internet • ‐2003F is an official Apple code meaning ONLY: “cannot make a secure connection to our recovery servers” — it is purely network / certificate / routing, never hardware • I have spent many hours trying every possible fix: every key combination, NVRAM/SMC reset, date/time correction, DNS changes, home broadband, multiple phone hotspots — it simply will not complete from my location/network, this is a known issue with the T2 chip and UK Apple CDN routing that can last days/weeks • FIX IS EXTREMELY SIMPLE, FAST & ALMOST FREE: 1. Buy any 16 GB+ USB‐C flash drive ~£4–£6 (Currys / WHSmith / Tesco / CeX) 2. Walk into ANY APPLE STORE (Covent Garden, Regent St, White City, Stratford etc) — NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED, NO COST, even long out of warranty 3. Say: “Internet recovery stuck on ‐2003F, recovery partition erased, T2 chip model — please write a bootable installer to this USB‐C stick and allow external boot” 4. 10–15 MINUTES LATER IT IS FULLY WORKING AGAIN, they will also run a full official hardware test and tell you every component is perfect 5. Alternatively if you have another Mac at home you can make the installer yourself in 20 mins for nothing • When working normally these are still solid, reliable machines easily worth £350–£500, brilliant for student, office, browsing, media, even light photo/video work — still officially supported by Apple I’ve fought this as far as I reasonably can, I have an iMac so don’t need it, and I’d rather it goes to someone who can get it going easily rather than me binning it or spending more hours on it. It’s in ☐ excellent ☐ good ☐ fair cosmetic condition, screen is good, battery still holds decent charge.
