[QUOTE="jwfuller, post: 1747924, member: 389150"] Nick: Like I said I thought it was fairly obvious, however it seems I did not tell the entire story. I'm not sure I understand how you would tell if it was "video issues," the guy that tested it at the Apple Store said that was in fact the case though. They were going to replace the logic board under that fault logic board repair program, but when they opened it up and saw liquid residue or whatever they changed their mind. Again it could be my ignorance to this type of stuff but I had a really hard time believeing it could work properly for 3 years then die as a direct result of that singular event, but if that is the case that is fascinating. (And lucky) When I said "died, and would not boot." What I really should have did was it died and continually tried to restart, I had some green screen looking stuff I don't really remember exactly what happened. Yeah I understand the whole "too good to be true thing." I bought from a 15 plus year seller with over 1000 ratings and used best offer function (seller was asking 350). I really don't think this was a faulty logic board but it could have been. I apologize for leaving details out, I am a bit scatterbrained/ADD and have a tendency to do that when writing long posts (or anything).
