 This information is still a work in progress, I only have so many MacBooks at my disposal to verify board-ids and perform a test flash. If a model is marked as verified, this means it was successfully flashed with SMC Tool. If a board is not in the below list, it isn't currently supported.
 
-Some boards carry identicle board-ids but have different logic board models, I have tried to keep them seperate for ease of use.
+Some boards carry identical board-ids but have different logic board models, I have tried to keep them separate for ease of use.
 
 If you'd like to verify a board please open an issue. Make sure to include the model, EMC number, board-id, board model, and proof of a successful flash (Just copy the format below if you want). I would really appreciate help here.

 **SMC Tool by David R:**

-Aimed at MacBook logic board technicians, SMC Tool makes flashing a replacement SMC quicker and easier. It not only saves time, but money, as a specific donor SMC isn't necessary to have 'on hand'. Simply take a matching model SMC from another board, replace and flash.

 **Why must the firmware be flashed:**
 -
+Each System Management Controller is specifically programmed for it's counterpart board, and is in charge of managing video, hibernation, battery charging, thermal and power management. Incorrect or mismatched firmware causes erratic behaviour such as broken display resolution, high fan speed, throttling, and crashing.

 **If you flash the wrong firmware:**
 -
+You must immediately flash the correct firmware before powering off the system. In some cases you **might** brick the system if you reboot after flashing the incorrect firmware. After much testing I've never achieved a bricked board by flashing an incorrect firmware, however, others have mentioned 'no power' after loading the wrong SMC firmware for that board after a reboot, or power down.

-
-If a system is somehow rendered 'bricked' and cannot get to the boot menu, you must replace the SMC again. You can always put the incorrectly flashed SMC aside for future use on a board it was programmed for.
