Story: I recently took my Macbook (aluminum) in to finally fix my screen. I was told that the HardDrive also had to be replaced. OK, FINE. I was a bit concerned though. I was able to turn on my computer a week prior and saw my background. The day before I turn on my computer I was able to see my background again. My screen was totally full of vertical lines, so I was not using my Mac for quite awhile!
Apple said that they before replacing the HardDrive they would turn on the computer, but hear the power Ding.
Now, I am stuck with a new HardDrive, new screen, but no data (and of course out 500!...all to have my Empress back) that was on my computer! Apple said that they don't do data recoveries, so I am out on my own.
A local Mac repair alternative has high ratings, but they charge $300, and I am unsure if this type of repair should really cost that much. Or if their are alternative ways to recover data that I can do myself. I have searched craiglist ads, but unless you know someone personally that is always nerve racking!
HELP PLEASE!
