[QUOTE="daimbert, post: 930204, member: 101743"] Hello everyone, Well after having my traumatic water spill due to bad faith, have a vertic on my macbook 15" unibody repair. The tech, from tekserve, mentioned that everything, logic board, keyboard, hardrive, is working find but the led backlight will need replacement. According to him, it will cost around $789.00 to replace the led backlight. How much does that part actually cost and home repair possible? Here's my question to you. I paid 1800, with tax, for this new mackbook in July. Now the tech mentioned that I could use a external display and it would work wonderfully but that kind of defeats the purpose of a "laptop". Considering I already paid 250 for the spill cleaning, and it would cost me and additional 789.00 to fix, that 1,030 dollars in total for repair. That's more than half the cost of the computer. Is it worth it to repair or do you think I sell it for a grand or so, sell my other white macbook and just buy another new one? Advice much needed. Thanks [/QUOTE]
