[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1627083"] Ignoring, for the moment, the discussion about the value of extended warranties ... as mentioned, you could get a FREE diagnosis of what is ACTUALLY wrong with the machine by going to an Apple Store, so that should be step 1. They won't repair until they have a) told you what the issue is and b) told you what the cost would be. Which you can refuse to have done if you want to have a go yourself. The fact that you jumped immediately to the "I didn't spill anything on it" defense and that you have immediately assumed that it MUST be the logic board (when in fact, from the MINISCULE information you've provided, sounds to me more like an LED or inverter failure) makes many of us -- including some of us like myself who have worked as Apple techs, repairing thousands of Macs -- a little skeptical. But we'd be very happy to be wrong if you would just take it in and get a diagnosis and find out what the ACTUAL problem is. [/QUOTE]
