[QUOTE="skielandrianna, post: 1386297, member: 244487"] I have an early 2008 15.4" MacBook Pro. The logicboard died,and it also has a big dent by the case seal and I had to replace the keyboard myself earlier. I am thinking of getting it fixed. I can get a 2.4 Ghz logic board in there for about $350, installed - is this worth the money to fix it? I only browse the Internet and use Photoshop occasionally. I will get a new 'nice' laptop someday but not yet... not til my life settles down a bit. Alternatively I could sell it for parts and then buy another used one on ebay... :[ Thanks for any insight :) [/QUOTE]
