[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1404111, member: 46727"] I seriously doubt the surge protector maker is going to come thru for you on this. I suppose you can always give it a try. Without seeing a schematic I can't really tell if the component that burned is part of a power regulator circuit or not, however, I can clearly see that it did a number on the board and surrounding components. I find it difficult to believe the Apple techs didn't see that. It leads me to think they never looked close enough or didn't remove the Logic Board to look at the underside. I would think you're due for a free repair and replacement of that Logic board since it appears they were lax in what they should have done. Let us know how this turns out. [/QUOTE]
