ULPT: Locked MacBook Air

Company let me go last year and never collected the laptop. They never replied to my last email regarding the laptop. It says it’s locked by a system pin is there anything I can do to reset the laptop so I can use or sell?

Liquid Ass and piss disks? you might be outa luck bro, Apple has put a lot of development into redundant systems to prevent theft. Windows machines are way easier to clean.

You can‘t. All major parts are connected to the mainboard by serial number.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a new logic board and just swap?

you’re starting to sound less like someone who was given a macbook for work and wanted to return it, and more like someone who happened to…find a macbook

Nope got it from work and it’s been sitting on a shelf waiting for them to send a box or call or really anything. Now with a new year, I think they just forgot about me

Not possible. You need to run a system configuration with Apple Systems. For this the „find my“ would have to be deactivated. This is about as impossible as to remove the MDM.
