[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1646457, member: 56379"] On the positive side…it sounds like it's working properly. You didn't exactly say what was broken or not working. Or if the damage is mostly cosmetic. On the downside…that $755 repair estimate is a lot. And for a Late 2011 MBP probably not worth getting it repaired. You could take the same $755 and put it towards a new computer…and maybe sell the 2011 MBP on eBay for as much at it will get in its current condition. And this total would minimize the amount of actual cash you would have to add to the budget. HTH, - Nick p.s. This is assuming insurance won't cover any of the damage. [/QUOTE]
