[QUOTE="Miines, post: 1840901, member: 397244"] They are the technical assistance place I took the computer to. Unfortunately the apple store refuses to look at my computer cause its out of warranty (for some time now lol). They don't claim to need to replace the board, they simply wanna repair it. Sadly I took too much time to get the shutting down issue resolved and now the computer quite simply is too slow for me to attempt any software fixes. I was even thinking the hard drive might have died as well,but they didn't mention it. However before I stopped trying to do anything to it, I tried everything. I reset pram, I tried every single mode of turning on the mac, I had to reinstall the software to get it to turn on, and that's after 4 hours of booting. Idk if me not addressing the first problem caused other issues, but the computer is unusable as is. Finder was freezing which to me is usually the signs of a dying hard drive. The repair of the logic board itself isnt crazy expensive, but the fact that they wanna charge me twice the amount cause they refuse to let go of replacing the thermal paste is whats pissing me off.
