[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1583794, member: 56379"] Well...this may not be the outcome you were hoping for...but at least you have a solid answer to the situation. As far as the repair prices...they are ABSOLUTELY...POSITIVELY...OUTRAGEOUS!!! This is a 2009 15" MacBook Pro...which if it was working 100%...would be probably worth around $500. Parts are expensive...but no way as expensive as mentioned above. $1500 for a logic board & $800 for a display is a total of $2300 (an absolute rip-off). Yes I know you are in Canada.:) And if you go to the Canada Apple online store...you will see that a brand spanking new 2013 15" MacBook Pro sells for $2049 (same model in the US costs $1999). Why would anyone spend $2300 bucks to repair an almost 5 year-old computer...when they can get a brand new one for less??;) There is absolutely...positively...no way anyone should be charging $2300 to fix an almost 5 year-old computer!!! In any case. Thanks a lot for the update. Always nice to have an ending to a story!:) Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
