[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1499492, member: 56379"] I hate to say it...but I really am not seeing the connection. A child messing with a keyboard does not equal a logic board replacement! Ok...how many millions & millions of MacBook Pro's have been sold throughout the world (with the vast majority of these consumers 100% satisfied with their purchase)...and you're going to "latch-on" to the idea that 1 person in Texas filing a lawsuit is somehow the key to your MacBook Pro's problem (what happened to a child messing with the keyboard theory)???;) [i]"My Mac is barely 48 months old." [/i] This is usually something someone would say if they just purchased a computer 30-60 days...or maybe 6 months ago. 48 months = 4 years. 4 years is NOT a short time. In fact 4 years is actually a pretty long time in the "computer world". I'm not saying that your MacBook Pro should stop working after 4 years...but let's be real. 4 years is NOT like something was just purchased yesterday. The actual useful life of a computer these days (because of technological advances) is probably in the neighborhood of 4-6 years (sometimes more...sometimes less). Doesn't mean that it cannot continue to be used longer...but after 4-6 years...it will start to show it's age by not doing things as well as it used to (due to technological advances in the outside world). My main points are: 1. There's no way a child messing with a keyboard results in the need for a new logic board. 2. Please don't make it sound like a 4 year-old computer is somehow "young"...as if it was just taken out of the box yesterday. 4 years is a pretty long time in the computer world. One of the things that can damage a computer very quickly is heat. If your MacBook Pro has never been cleaned...and depending on the environmental conditions where it is used...it could be VERY dirty inside. This dirt/fuzz can reduce cooling airflow...less cooling air means higher temps...and higher temps can lead to computer failure. I'm not saying 100% this is the problem. But this is something that can slowly manifest itself over 4 years. - Nick [/QUOTE]
