Free: WD Elements 8TB external drive (Edmonton N9) Gifted Free to collect — WD Elements 8TB desktop external drive. ✅ Comes with original power adapter + USB cable ✅ 8TB capacity — huge storage space ⚠️ IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ: This drive is a little temperamental. It works sometimes, but it can cut out / disconnect itself randomly while powered on or being used. It does not work 100% reliably all the time. Good for parts, or if you know how to fix these things — not suitable for storing important files as your only copy. ✅ Fully & securely wiped — all my personal files, photos, and data have been completely removed and erased; nothing can be recovered. 📍 Collection only from N9 Edmonton Green Message me to arrange a time to pick it up.

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.
