[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1431498, member: 56379"] Suffice it to say...what is probably liquid-damaged is something electronic. And "something electronic" (causing the issues you have) is related to the logic board. The logic board is very expensive...and why Apple quoted a $750 price tag for the repair. Logic boards cannot be repaired...they are replaced. There is also the "Mag-Safe" board (which is primarily associated with the power plug)...which also could be replaced...and is far cheaper than a logic board. If you really want to repair your MacBook Pro...you probably need to find a replacement logic board & possibly a replacement mag-safe board. But with a brand new 2012 13" MacBook Pro starting at $1199 (or a refurbished "late 2011" model for $929): [url]http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD313LL/A[/url] ...this may or may not be a good thing to do financially (unless you can find the parts cheap). - Nick [/QUOTE]
