Wait it still runs fine if you just… take the monitor off?

The screen died on this 14" M1, so i took it off and use it headless as an extra computer. More useful then I thought it would be, and I didn't want to pay the $800 to fix the screen.

Yeah! Runs great, just opened up the case, undid the screws for this and that, pulled these and those cables out and popped the screen off, and reconnected a couple things. (I disconnected the battery first of course! :)

I love it, reminds me of an old Atari! It also look slike the ultimate Apple Vision Pro Mac.
