Crash, Bang, MacBook Pro?

[jamieg]

My 12" PowerBooks HDD has crashed ! I'm totally gutted, I've lost loads of info and the HDD that I back-up on was recently stolen! !


Do I go ahead with the repair, or just sell it on eBay in its current non-functioning state?


I was thinking about selling it anyway to fund a 12" MBP or whatever the equivilent will be. So do I fix it and sell it in a few months, or just sell it and let someone else worry about it?


Bottom Line:

Will fixing it for £200 (UK) increase its sale value by £200?

Fix it with a used hd and sell it as a functioning machine - you'll make more back than the cost of the repair.

Spend 100 - 150 pounds ($60-100 US) and get a cheaper replacement. Its not very hard to do yourself. Then you can sell it as a fully working machine with a NEW HD and get your money back.

100-150 Pounds is $178.92-268.38
$60-100 is 33.53-55.89 Pounds

Thank you for a totally useless post.

jamieg, you should buy a new HD and install it yourself. You will make all your money back and then some, and you will be able to sell it as having a new Hd in it. You can even then sell the old HD on eBay for parts or repair and make a few buck there too.
