[QUOTE="zacster, post: 1939889, member: 17931"] I've been getting quoted $500 everywhere in NYC. Even a DIY kit costs that much. That isn't worth it. In fact, I already fixed one like that and I regret it now. I have twin daughters and they both had identical M1 computers and they both cracked and neither were dropped. There was some talk of a lawsuit with Apple because this was a common problem but I don't know if it went anywhere. Now that I have a later M2 version for the other twin I see how much sturdier they are. Since I was looking for a new desktop anyway and we already had this one I turned it into a desktop machine by buying a 4k monitor. I was looking at the mini so instead of a square box I have a flat thing that I can stand on edge behind the monitor. And instead of wiping it I decided I'll just delete my daughter's account on it since I already transferred everything to the M2. Turn off "find my" first so it releases ownership, then turn it on for my account. And rename it. It otherwise already has what I need on it. [/QUOTE]
