So. I have a white Macbook unibody. I bought it refurbished, from Apple, May 2010
Couple weeks ago my child spilled a little bit of juice on it, and I dried it out and it is still functioning, aside from the fact that a few keys are sticky (any way to un-stickify those?)
Some of the problems it has been having are this:
Safari takes up too much ram. CD drive no longer works, just spits stuff out. Sticky keys from juice spill. Fan runs a lot and the machine runs hot. Battery life is about 2 hrs, so it lives plugged in.
Took it to Genius Bar to see about how much a repair would be.
They said it would cost $750 to fix everything that might be broken in it. Basically re-refurbish it.
So I am toying around with this idea, or purchasing either a MBP or MBA...
What would you do? Fix this one and throw in some more RAM? Or buy a new one?
