[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1633550, member: 110816"] This is very unfortunate and happens frequently enough for me to avoid buying pricey electronics from eBay. For every legitimate seller out there, there are just too many bad apples and its near impossible to distinguish the good from the bad. When I need $2 batteries, I go to eBay, when I need something a lot more valuable, I go an entirely different route.. In this case, since you are past whatever protection date eBay provides, you have little recourse left as far as they are concerned. The seller is surely not obligated to help in any way since you've now been the owner of the Mac for 2 months and as far as they are concerned, you were fine with it all this time and perhaps even broke it (even if that isn't really the case).. I've had the greatest amount of success buying Refurbished Macs from the Apple Refurb store. This gets you the 1 year AppleCare which can be extended to 2 more years just like a brand new Mac. Since you've purchased a 2010 model, any AppleCare that was possibly available is already expired, so you are left with either fixing this Mac up or putting that money against a Refurb from a reputable place..
