[QUOTE="ooJAKESAUCEoo, post: 880270, member: 112369"] So about a month ago lightning struck my house. We lost a lot of electronics at our house, desktop, tv's, phones, router, modem, clocks. A bunch of stuff. Including my new macbook!! But when all was said and done, the insurance check came back and i was able to get the newer MBP w/ backlit keyboard and also the free iTouch which was a nice little benefit. Still sucks I didn't have anything but an old desktop for a month. bleh. So took the computer to a local computer shop, ran tests. motherboard is fried. So now I have 2 questions: 1) Would apple fix it and would it cost me? If i could salvage it I could sell it and make up the difference I lost on insurance. (only got $800 back for the laptop :( ) 2) Could I dissemble it and sell off individual parts? It was only two weeks old the thing looks great, just a bad motherboard now. I can't use the battery in the new one since its not really convienent to take out the battery on the updated model. [/QUOTE]
