Comments on: MacBook Fails to Start (Again) http://blog.mostlychris.com/2009/09/macbook-fails-to-start-again/ Tech stuff and a bit more Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:47:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris http://blog.mostlychris.com/2009/09/macbook-fails-to-start-again/comment-page-1/#comment-242 Chris Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:01:54 +0000 http://blog.mostlychris.com/?p=563#comment-242 Final Update – March 22, 2010 The white MacBook is alive again. I took it to the local Apple store and told them my story. They sent it to the depot for a flat repair rate of $280 (plus tax) to fix anything and everything that needed fixing. They threw in the "unless water or other damage not covered" disclaimer of course. It came back less than 3 days later with a new logic board and a new "top cover". The top cover is what goes around the keyboard. Apparently it had "numerous cracks and miscellaneous" according to the repair sheet. I figured the logic board was bad since numerous Google searches had indicated this. I was told that an in-store repair like that would have cost upwards of $500 just for the part. The white MacBook now begins its new journey with a new owner. Jason (Amy's brother) will be taking it to NY with him as he attends culinary school. Good luck to him and the MacBook.

It won't even turn on. Not at all. Nothing. It has been replaced with a new aluminum MacBook Pro. I am going to have to take it to the Apple store to have them tell me what the heck happened to it.
