Here’s two pictures of another MacBook sent into MacMedics from Iraq. Our last Iraq MacBook was a big success, as we were able to save the data and replace the hard drive in short order. You can read about that data recovery case here: http://www.macmedics.com/testimonials.htm

Sadly, in this case the hard drive was toast. We could not do anything with it. So I imagine it’s off for a clean room recovery.

I wanted to share these two pictures as it shows how dusty and dirty the environment in Iraq must be. If you look at the MacBook screen, you’ll see what looks like a reflection of the keyboard, it’s not a reflection. It’s super fine Iraq dust. Notice the spot in the middle with the finger print where the dust has been wiped off.
