In today’s video, I show you how I fixed a used MacBook Pro A1708 I bought for $80.

This MacBook came with a broken screen and a couple of issues I had to solve, including encryption problems and a blinking question mark error.

Problem #1 - Encrypted Hard Drive - The drive was encrypted and locked.

Problem #2 - The Blinking Question Mark Issue - After restoring it, I was faced with a blinking “?” on the screen, which means the system couldn’t find a bootable drive.
