[QUOTE="xj6jaguar1985, post: 768641, member: 60410"] Okay so let's go with the worst case scenario: You need a new logic board. Are you mechanically inclined at all? I read iFixit's guide to the logic board removal and honestly, it looks significantly easier than what this other member is saying. It doesn't look "Tedious" at all. All you have to do is just simply remove screws and label them with markers. Example: 4 screws removed from logic board are marked yellow...where they go is marked yellow. You can get a tested MacBook Pro logic board for about $450 which is still cheaper than getting a new laptop. The amount you're going to spend on fixing this will vary with how mechanically inclined you are. If you're not mechanically inclined, I strongly suggest just selling the laptop on ebay as is and getting another. [/QUOTE]
