...or "My right to repair a MacBook Pro!"

My MacBook Pro 2015 has served me well for the last 7 years. However, recently a number of hardware faults have cropped up the device, to the point of not being really usable anymore. As I believe in repairing everyday tools, I went on a quest to bring it back from the dead!
