Having spilled tea on my MBP, it has 'died', but before I send it away for repair/replacement I need to remove its iCloud connection from the dead MBP. I have an older MBP which I can use to remove the 'dead' one, but how? Old MBP is on 10.7.5
Thanks
Hello acceofred,
I understand that you're trying to disable Find My Mac on a Mac that no longer boots. Fortunately, this can be done via iCloud.com, as outlined below.
Turn off the device you want to remove.
Go to Find My iPhone on iCloud.com on another computer.
If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
If you don’t see Find My iPhone on iCloud.com, your account just has access to iCloud web-only features. To gain access to other iCloud features, set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button
next to the device.
If the device comes online again, it reappears in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.

Thanks Allan A. This has solved my problem completely. My MBP is now away from iCloud so can be repaired back to it's former glory. Also have backup about 1 week old which will help solve any other problems hopefully. Thanks again
