Yesterday, I had one of the so called "Geniuses" at the Apple store take apart my Macbook and found out that the RAM issue I thought I was dealing with was actually the slots where the RAM is fitted into taking a shit. So now I need a new motherboard. My Macbook's warranty has expired, so they asked for $500 to fix it immediately at the store or $280 to ship it out and get it replaced.

Obviously, I kindly rejected the guy and said that I would take care of it myself. I've tried looking on Newegg but nothing so far. Help me out with my turd please and fuck you.

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

I would assume the numerous times I dropped it on the way to class had something to do with that.

If you were to buy one from Razer, any orders over $150 has free shipping.

I'd probably get a used one if anything.

people on ebay offer services where they can replace your logic board for cheap. if you feel up to the task you can look up your macbook pro model, buy the logic board yourself, and install it. you'll need a variety of different tools to get this done.

or i can do it for $499.

Just pay the 280 to get it sent in honestly. Unless you want to post around on technical forums or send in a support ticket to Apple asking where you would obtain a new Macbook Pro mobo.

Or you could pay louie $499.99 and he'll fix it up in a jippie for you

Macs are like 80 - 90% of major university campuses? talk about fashion victims. they are white and pretty looking, personally i'm like the windows interface.

on a side note if microsoft doesnt get its act together google is going to eat their lunch. android cant to what windows does yet, but i m sure that s the goal. Their touch interface is just better. The windows 8 tiles screen is a total waste of time distraction from that.

Job = Acquire Currency = New Laptop

Its not worth fixing the board. A new board is 349$+. Unless you really need to fix that laptop, I'd get a PC. On that note, do not get a gaming laptop... Sure a 700 series discrete card in a laptop is nice but it screams heat failure, especially for the "slim" size. Basically meaning the smallest amount of dust build up would kill it, just like a nascar and on the small front grille. I've got many gaming laptops at my job that just don't work anymore due to them running too hot. The shit lead-free solder they use on the boards crack and pops joints leading to failure caused by heat, killing the GPU and mobo. Same problem the older xboxes had.

Leave the gaming to desktops, otherwise be prepared for warranty claims [if it lasts that long] or just to replace it.

Edit:
Oh and another thing about replacing boards, make sure you have the product key for the mac, if it has one. Otherwise you'll run into licensing issues if you try to use the key to your computer. Also the boards S/N in the bios will be different from the one on the bottom of the macbook, making it harder to find if its stolen since your serial number doesn't match if they scrape it off, or just part out the computer.

Just saying that if you do decide to replace it.

I changed a board in a windows laptop and had to get the product key off the donor and swap it. Otherwise if the owner ever reinstalled windows, it wouldn't activate and they'd basically have to crack it, if they know how..
