Yeah. Let's just hope that's the only issue. It's a store called Carbon Computing where I live near Waterloo. They're pretty much the only authorised retailer/service for macs in the city.
I'm learning a lot from what you're telling me. I have a lot of experience with computer hardware and software. A+ cert in high-school. I just have pretty much no experience with Apple laptops when it comes to the hardware. I pulled a Mac Mini apart once but that's far different; a lot of desktop components.
From what I can tell, generally when a part along the series dies, that pretty much creates a sort of a barrier between other components and the electrical. ie, if the DC cannot power anything, and it died first, the other stuff just needs a thorough cleaning, correct?
I had 2 gigs of ram in that thing that I took out and replaced with the original since well, they can't really replace the RAM I added at a resonable price so what's the point of them having it while diagnosing and repairing?
Ah if only this was a PC. I would have probably just disassembled it and cleaned it myself. But I didn't know much about the hardware to want to risk it. Didn't know if there were any warranty stickers, etc.
I'm thinking too much.
