The reason why i am using an external optical drive is that i replaced the internal one with a second SSD.

The external optical drive spins down and the Windows installer doesnt get to the further. Service providers cannot order parts for Obsolete products,” the company said. Same thing here, Im trying to boot a Windows 7 installation disc but i get a black screen with a white flashing cursor. “Apple discontinues all hardware service for Obsolete products, with the sole exception of Mac notebooks that are eligible for an additional battery-only repair period. However, once an Apple product has not been distributed for sale for seven years, it is considered “Obsolete”.Ī product being called “Vintage” means it is about to die and ones that are “Obsolete” are pretty much dead and done with. Service and parts could also be available for a maximum of seven years for a device depending on their availability. For all devices currently available in the market, Apple offers both services and repair parts for a minimum of five years after a product is last distributed for sale. To understand exactly how Apple classifies its Vintage devices, it is important to understand the repairability clauses. Additionally, it gets harder and harder to find repair parts for older devices making it hard to keep them in working condition.

Understandably, most devices do not age well and its components and shipsets cannot keep up with the newer software requirements. As Apple explains on its support page - “Products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago.”
