[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1601165, member: 24098"] Sorry to tell you this, but that $235 for "data recovery" could have been easily avoided just by removing the hard disk yourself and connecting it to a USB adapter (a $15 tool). How these guys can sleep at night charging this kind of money is beyond me. Whoever that company is, don't ever use them again - they completely took advantage of you. The $800 repair is basically to replace the logic board in your Macbook Pro. This is the heart, soul and brain of your computer, which is why it's so expensive. If it were to continue to malfunction, it would of course be covered under the repair warranty, so I wouldn't sweat having to throw more money into it. If the $800 is sigificantly less than what a replacement MacBook Pro would cost, then I think I'd just let them repair it. DO shop around first though. Places like TechRestore, PowerBookMedic.com and others can certainly do this cheaper - and they are Apple-certified. [/QUOTE]
