Q: Brand new Macbook Pro... with water damage.... help?
I purchased a Macbook Pro one month ago at BestBuy and also bought the extended warranty. Everything together cost over 2500.00!!
Yesterday water dropped onto the keyboard from an umbrella close by. There had been rain earlier, but not for awhile. I immediately heard a sizzle, turned the computer upside down, held the power button and powered off, and I have no idea what to do now?
I contacted BestBuy and they said water damage isn't covered. I called my home owners, contents insurance company and they said they'd cover anything over the $1000 deductible, but I can't afford it... it killed me to purchase this computer in the first place.
I live on disability and swallowed the cost of this computer after a nightmare with an ASUS PC laptop. I used a MAC in college that I fell in love with, so I did wothout ALOT to get this computer... now I'm back to having nothing and no way to afford a replacement.
I have a rare spine disease that prevents me from working outside my home, and I'm blogger fighting for attention to my rare disease, while also working hard to earn extra money as a writer. Now I'm shafted, with no way out if I can't get this MacBook Pro replaced!!
I could use all the help I can get to figure something out... Any thoughts? Ideas?
All comments welcome..
Thanks
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
