MacBook Pro :: How Much Is Going To Cost To Fix Tracking Pad
Jun 27, 2012
MacBook Pro 13"- I have recently been rather clumsy and spilt 'Super Super Glue' near my tracking pad (2 weeks ago). The pad is now stuck down and I cannot use it to select (I am currently using a separate mouse.Also (just today) I have come to realise that my 'F6' (to light up the keyboard) is not working and has left my keyboard in darkness. Yet 15 minutes later my Mac decided to work again. How much is this going to cost me?!

with my institutional discount, the MBA + ethernet dongle costs $5 more than the new 15" MBP...
Why are the MBA discounts so minimal compared to MBP discounts?

I'm in the market for the 13" model and I'd like to get the 4gb of RAM in the base model. Unfortunately being that I live in California I'll have to deal with 8.25% sales tax on top of the upgraded price of the laptop. This ends up putting me over $1500 for a base 13" with 4gb of RAM. I can get the 13" with the stock 2gb of RAM off Amazon shipped overnight for $1300 and no tax. So is 2gb of RAM really worth ~$225? I have an i7 iMac as my primary machine and realistically don't see doing any heavy work on the Air, but I still like to "futureproof" my hardware if the cost is reasonable regardless. I did test a stock unit at the local Apple Store and I opened about 8-10 apps like mail, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, Safari, Finder, some QT videos I found on the computer, etc. With all of that open it seemed to run pretty well. Normally I don't have that many apps open at a time.

So apparently my logic board needs to be replaced. I have the apple protection care package, but was told that if I have any liquid spilt on my logic board that I would have to paid to get it fixed. I was just wondering how much one cost, and if my laptop has a blue tint on it would the damage have came from a drink being spilt on it? I read somewhere it tints the computer blue if the computer gets too hot.

I spilled about a tablespoon of windex onto the keyboard of my 1.66 i7 MBP. Of course it was on when it happened. I turned it off and flipped it over for a few hours. I was getting ready to go out of town when it happened so I had to close it up and take it on a plain with me. When i got to my destination the next day I tried to start it up and it was dead. I have since read all of the I should have done, but didn't. Â
I was looking to get an idea of the different cost scenarios to get it fixed. Like if it needs a new logic board, etc... I understand it might be better to get a new computer but I don't have 2800 for another 17'' MBP.Â

I am wondering if anyone knows what Apple charges to have the bottom plate of the MacBook Pro replaced. When I was at a store, an employee told me that it "might cost, like, uh, forty bucks," in a way that made me think he was just pulling that price out of his you-know-what. After searching eBay for that part and finding no auctions for less than $100, I assumed that Apple would charge something more like that.Â
It's really irritating that in order to replace two of my footpads, I must replace the whole bottom plate of the body. Apple is really trying to get people to buy the service plan, and then a new laptop when that runs out. Great for the environment. The whole unrepairable Retina Display MacBook debacle is just more proof of that.

My macbook pro 15 inch (i believe its a unibody) 2.66 ghz has been through **** and back. I traveled through 4 continents with it since I got it, dropped it numerous times, keyboard light doesnt work, upgraded to lion from Lepoard, screws missing on the bottom, macbook heats up like crazy and its starting to wear down.  Im wondering if anyone has any kind of link or some kind of guide as to how much it would cost to fix my Mac. I know it wont be like new but it will be close. The genius bar and Apple may be crazy with pricing sometimes but they do the best job. Â

I have used a Apple MacBook Pro 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo (15.4-inch) for the past four years of college. In that time I've had it repaired once for some spillage, but other than that nothing has been done. The laptop has recently been showing serious age. I don't have a ton of extra cash, and was wondering if it would be smartest to A) Buy piecemeal repairs, and fix this one or B) sell/scrap this and purchase something new. I don't know the numbers enough to do a cost-benefit, so any help would gladly be appreciated!
INFO/BACKGROUND
Apple MacBook Pro 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo (15.4-inch) Bought in Summer 2006
? Track pad seems to be breaking/broken ($ fix cost?)o Does not click appropriately
o Frequently messes up typing when barely touched
o Extremely finicky? Screen sometimes displays lines of messy black lines in the middle of images with no rhyme or reason ($ fix cost?)o What in the world could be causing the screen to display improperly in lines?
o Is this a video card failure?
o Is memory too low?
o Is it the logic board? The battery is 100% dead and useless ($ fix cost?)o Laptop must be plugged in to work? Slow, and seemingly inconsistent performance ($ fix cost?)o Memory/ram was never updated
o Safari has to be opened twice to work, first time it always just sits there
o Microsoft Office 03 applications run at a snails pace? Still running original 2006 OS as well as all old OS applications ($ fix cost?)
? Case shows signs of use along edges with separation ($ fix cost?)
Also, if there are any ideas on what this would sell for, or a total cost to get it into solid running (and lasting!) shape would be awesome. I'm at wits end trying to budget for all this -

My Son had his MacBook Pro stolen. He asked if he could track it down through the Internet. I searched online and found some suggestions for tracking software. Not knowing who to trust I thought I would bring this to Discussions: Can it be tracked if no tracking software was installed? What are some preferred tracking programs to install on a new machine to allow this in the future?

My wife dropped her macbook pro 13 inch off the sofa. Everything is functioning fine but there is a nice size dent on the lower left hand corner of the body.
I know this is obviously not covered under warranty because it's accidental but anyone have an idea of how much it would cost to have the housing replaced? I'm assuming they would have to replace the entire lower housing since it's one piece.

I'm sure if this has been discussed before but I haven't come across the relevant post. Any guess on the price of the new mac pro compared to the current one? In other words, is it expected that the price will also go up to match the improved specs? Or is it still going to be a good / worthwhile deal to wait for the new mac pro.
The reason I'm asking is that if the new mac pro's are going to cost significantly more, then to some the current mac pro and a lower price point might make most logical sense and waiting for the new mac pro is kinda pointless if it pushes it beyond ones budget.

So I bought my unibody macbook the first weekend they came out.
It's been great till this point, however over the past month, the click stopped working.
it started off acting strange, then got to the point where only certain parts of the button would actually click, and now it doesn't register at all.

Okay, so I?ve come to believe that the problem with my MacBook Pro is related to the thermal sensor. What I experienced was:
The fan randomly speeding up to 6000 rpm even when the comp was at 45-55 degree range and then slowly down to 2000 rpm even when the comp got up to like 70 degrees, way too hot for 2000 rpm. (Id rather the fan be loud and at 6000 rpm than not spinning fast enough allowing the comp to get real hot if you know what I mean). I use my comp all the time especially for cpu heavy music production on Logic Pro.
I also experienced two-three random shutdowns. I reset the SMC and I still have the fan problem. Im currently in Brazil which has no apple stores for me to send to for repairs until I get back in the states in July. I was wondering how much a thermal sensor repair runs, how long it takes as well? In case I decide that I should just buy a new MacBook Pro or something, but I really dont want to spend $1200-1600 at the moment.

I would like to get a raid setup going on at my house. I currently have
2 Intel iMac's
1 Intel MBP
1 Mac Mini HTPC
I am in the process of making digital copies of all my music, movies, and photos. Obviously this is quite a memory hog. What is the best way to have all the files in one central location, and backed up. I would like the files also though to be wirelessly accessible. Is that feasible? Is there a way to have files on a remote computer, but show up in your aperture library/itunes library/ plex database etc?

Just looking for recommendations on a simple, low cost, printer/copy/scanner combo deal that I can use with my Mac.
Something simple is fine, I don't need high quality at all, just needs to get the job done.

My macbook pro is no longer eligible to purchase apple care. It ended in Feburary (should have saved up money and bought it then )but my macbook pro fell from my bed today and caused 2 chips on my keyboard. I took of my keyboard. url...I'm wondering how much it would cost without applecare to replace the keyboard? I'm guessing I would have to replace the whole keyboard for these chippings.

My iMac died a few days ago. I shut it down the previous night, and then in the morning when I went to turn it on, nothing happened. The screen display doesn't turn on, nothing. I opened it up and did the LED tests, and found that the first one would turn on, but none of the others would. The apple site says to take it to a store and have it fixed.
Now, I bought my mac on December 19th, 2004 ( what a day that was). At the time, I didn't think I'd need to buy applecare or anything. So about how much do you guys think it would cost to replace the logic board? And also, how long would it take to have it replaced?

Open a Terminal Window and type the following: defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling 5.0. "5.0" being the number designating the speed. Change that number to whatever you like. I've got my Magic Mouse set to 150 or so. This does not change the acceleration, just the scaling. Altering the setting via the preferences pane overrides the Terminal command. Log out and back in to activate. For a more complete solution, get USB Overdrive.

On the iMac I have 2 external firewire drives, both FireWire 800, always on and connected. One (LaCie Big Disk Extreme+; 1TB) is used for Time Machine and full backups (Super Duper!) and the other ( WD External HDD Button & Lights; 500GB) contains my Parallels virtual machines. Both of these drives are excluded from Spotlight indexing (listed in the Privacy section).
Frequently disk or even network activity will hang waiting for one or the other of these drives to spin up and become ready. For some reason that most often seems to the LaCie drive. This is annoying, but I have learned to live with it.
