[QUOTE="beaumont.robbie, post: 1315229, member: 219816"] Hi My wife managed to drop my macbook pro, and now it runs as slow as turkey- [I]but only when it's unplugged.[/I] If I attach the power cord, hey presto, it starts working at normal speed again. I've had a look at Activity monitor, and when I detach the power cable, CPU activity rockets up to around 85%. Anyone know what's been damaged in the drop that would do this, and how much it might cost to put it right? Ballparks appreciated, i know it's just a guess without looking at the machine yourself Thanks Rob [/QUOTE]
