[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1435083, member: 56379"] If everything was backed up...nothing would have been lost. $330 (although not a small amount of money)...is about half what it usually costs. Sounds like your logic board needs to be replaced...and this usually runs around $750. It is very unfortunate that this happened so shortly after the 12 months of Applecare expired! But the Apple employee is correct. The warranty was for 12 months...not 13 months...so Apple is just following the terms of the Applecare agreement. This is an interesting article...and it does seem to be related to what happened to your computer. Occasionally if a problem is widespread enough...Apple will setup a special repair program...where the affected computers are repaired for free. And if someone already paid for the repair...they will get a refund. As of now (as far as I know) there isn't a special repair program for this issue. About all you can do at this point is pay the $330...and see what happens in the future. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
