I recently purchase a 13" 2012 macbook pro on Ebay.
The seller stated that they had trouble installing a mac OS on it. So they installed a Linux based OS on it instead.
I tried to install Sierra on it from a memory stick but soon discovered that it has a efi lock on it. I had to get Ebay involved and got my money back as the seller wouldn't take it back and told me that he didn't install a efi lock on it.
I still have the macbook.
My question is how did he install Linux on it with this hardware lock? Is the efi tied into the hd with Linux?
What if I install a mac os on the drive from another macbook and then reinstall it back into this laptop? It currently won't boot from a memory stick and either shows a flashing folder or asks for the password if I install a newly formatted drive into the laptop.
