[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1180285, member: 56379"] Consider that not all "Genius's" at the Apple Store...are really Genius's. The term "Apple Genius" is something Apple dreamed up to call folks at the Apple Store. I'm not saying some of the repair folks at the Apple Stores aren't "Genius's"...I'm just saying that not a Apple Genius's are created equal.;) Think of Apple Genius's sort of like auto mechanics. There are REALLY good auto mechanics out there...and there are some really bad one's!:( Also consider that some Apple Genius's aren't really that good at knowing what's wrong or diagnosing a busted computer....what they are good at is replacing parts. They use Apple's custom written troubleshooting software to diagnose a problem (assuming the computer is working well enough to run the software)...then the software says "XYZ part" is bad...so that's the part they replace. As far as members on Mac-Forums possibly knowing more than Apple Genius's. Apple Genius's can have varying levels of experience. Some folks here on Mac-Forums can have 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or more years of computer/Macintosh use & repair experience. :) - Nick p.s. Like "6string" said. Sometimes computer/electronic problems are very complex...or some problems are very very rare or "weird"...so sometimes it's tough to get it right on the first try. [/QUOTE]
