[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1515457, member: 56379"] $500 to replace the logic board is about right/normal. I'm going to assume you are located in the United States (location makes a difference). If your MacBook Pro was working 100%...it could still be worth close to $1000-$1100. A broken computer is always difficult to value...so it's really hard to say. But I would certainly say that it's worth more than $200-$300.:) Heck if you do the math ($500 to repair it). $1000-$500 (new logic board) = worth about $500 non-working. To be honest. In many cases replacing the logic board in a Macintosh laptop generally is not worth it. But given the value of your computer ($1000-$1100), the cost to repair it ($500)...and how much a replacement new 15" MacBook Pro would cost ($1799+)...I think that you would be best off getting it repaired (assuming nothing else is wrong with it)!:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
