The laptop came without any instructions and no identification of who supplied it. The laptop was dead on arrival. 2 days later after I tried everything I could think of I swapped the charger to the other port and it sprang into life.. The Back Market FAQ’s weren’t helpful. I am quite happy with the laptop.

Sorry to have taken so long. We are pleased with the laptop we purchased from you through Dick Smith Market. We are quite pleased with the item even though it appears to be smaller than expected. It is working very well with all the Apple “bits & pieces”, so thank you. We will enjoy. Janice.
