[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1370974, member: 38864"] She took it to a local authorized service center to test it to be sure. They confirmed the MagSafe part in particular wasn't the problem and that it was the logic board. They told her point blank that replacing it wasn't worth it, so she didn't even ask for a final quote. That said… I'll be replacing it myself in the next week or 2. I know I can get the board off eBay from a highly reputable reseller for a couple hundred. The repair otherwise would have probably been around $700. The board alone usually goes for $400-$500. And that's in her 2008 MacBook. Yours would be a lot more. Depending on the CPU you have, you are looking at $600 - $750 from iFixIt just for the board.
