[QUOTE="applefan124, post: 1583790, member: 325461"] So.,.. here's a follow up. I called my local Apple authorized dealer today, and I never got a call from them, but they said they were trying to get ahold of me. Any ways, the logic board needs replacing, and the screen. The motherboard would cost over $1500 from Apple, and the screen would be like $800. Even though all of you guys either find that outrageous, or typical, I find it typical, but all I wanted to know about was if it was salvageable. And of course, it isn't, so I will try to sell it on eBay for parts, with know exactly whats wrong with it thanks to bringing it to them. Maybe I won't get everything back, but with a solid description of the problem, the price I get for the MBP on eBay will be a little more accurate than just "selling for parts", "I don't know whats wrong with it". Anyways, thanks for the assistance Nicke, and everyone else who helped out. It was worth a shot, and in the end I still think I probably would be overwhelmed with the process of trying to fix it myself, which would just be a big mess that I'd have to clean up in the end. Thanks again, and wish me luck on eBay lol. [/QUOTE]
