I bought a MacBook for $1,100 but it has iCloud what can I do?

Hi, I bought this MacBook on OfferUp on Thursday afternoon. The seller clearly told me that there was no iCloud account locked to it, so I trusted him. Now I’m stuck with a $1,100 paperweight, and the seller keeps giving me excuses and avoiding the issue.
What can I do? Can I file a police report for fraud? Please help me. I don’t want my $1,100 sitting in a closet because I was lied to.

MagSafe Cable dead internally — repair possible? Best replacement?

Hey everyone, my MagSafe cable (bought mac in May 2025) has completely stopped charging my MacBook. The cable looks brand new externally — no fraying, no damage anywhere — so it seems like an internal failure.

Confirmed through testing that both my adapter and my MacBook are perfectly fine. It's definitely the cable.

Called Apple Support — they confirmed it's out of warranty and won't replace for free.

My questions:

  1. Has anyone gotten Apple to repair or replace a MagSafe cable out of warranty? Worth pushing?
  2. Anyone else experienced a MagSafe failing internally with zero external damage? Feels like a manufacturing defect.
  3. Any downside to switching to USB-C charging permanently instead of replacing the MagSafe?
  4. What is the best option type c or magsafe for daily MacBook charging? (the non apple ones)

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Air M1 display changes colour depending on lid angle — flex cable or display?

I have a MacBook Air M1 and recently started having a display issue. The screen changes colour/glitches when I move the lid to certain angles. When I move it back, the display becomes normal again.
I took it to a local laptop service shop in Chennai and they told me I need to replace the entire display. I don’t want to replace the whole display without knowing if that’s actually necessary.
I’ve seen similar issues where people mentioned the display flex/ribbon cable or connector.
Has anyone with an M1 MacBook Air experienced something similar? Was it the flex cable/connector or did you actually have to replace the display?
I’m looking for a technician in Chennai who can properly diagnose the issue and, if possible, repair the cable/connector instead of replacing the entire display.
