[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1418607, member: 56379"] If you search the internet (or Mac-Forums)...you can find SOMEONE who has had a problem with each of the components you mentioned (just the way it goes, whether we're talking cars, dishwashers, televisions, or computers)...but it is VERY RARE for a single person to have had a problem with each of these components on the same computer. Unless the individual computer was a real "lemon" of some sort...or the computer was not taken care of. We have someone here who had an iMac that was running 24/7 for 5 years straight without an issue. We have MANY MANY members that own iMac's...and have NEVER had a problem. For every single person that has a problem...there are 1000's & 1000's of folks who have never had a problem. If we were having lots of problems with our Mac's...do you really think that we would keep on buying them...no...of course not! I don't know what iMac model you have...but let's say it's worth $750 bucks (if it was working). Since it's not currently working...let's say that it's worth MAYBE $200-$250 for parts. Now what you're suggesting is...spending $634 for a new logic board for a computer that's currently worth $200-$250. Instead for $599 you can get a brand new Mac-Mini...or for $1199 you can get an entry level MacBook Pro or iMac...which (more than likely) will be a much much better computer than what you have! The bottom line is...you've had your current iMac for 5 years. You've had some unfortunate problems...and right now your iMac is worth about $200-$250 bucks for parts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Apple computers...otherwise why would Apple users continue to buy Apple products??;) I say it's time to move on...and get yourself a new or newer computer. Migrating your info is really not that big of a deal. Of course...if you want to spend $634 on a 5 year-old non-working iMac worth $200-$250 bucks parts...go for it! - Nick p.s. I guessing that you're not a "DIY" person...since you mentioned that it's going to cost $634 to have a new logic board installed. But just in case you are willing to do the work yourself...you may be able to find a good used logic board on e-Bay (or somewhere else) for much less than a new logic board. [/QUOTE]
