Also this is not Apple. This is a User to User forum and Apple does not come here.

I'll take care of it on my own then. That ***** since Apple had an official program.
It will cost me no less than 250 usd I presume.

Feb 19, 2013 2:25 AM in response to alankirschby Shootist007,Only Apple know how much it will cost but from what I have read there are 2 options, that is IF Apple will even fix it now.
1) To replace the Logic board is somewhere around $400 if done locally at an Apple store.
2) It can be sent to an Apple Repair Facility/Depot and be completely refurbished for something like $320. Unless they find more damage then that $320 will cover.
But since the system is now 5 years old (Not from date of purchase but Model years) Apple stops all support for system 5 years old and older. Only an Apple store and or the facility/depot would know if your system is to old for them to fix it or not.
Good Luck & Best Wishes.

Feb 24, 2013 1:51 AM in response to Shootist007by alankirsch,Ok, I understand. Thank you.
Yes, it is an old system but it used to work perfectly fine. It still does, I just have to plug an external display. Anyways, it's my second time since I've had a problem like this. A couple if years ago I had to change the whole display and cost me around 600usd I remember. In an apple retail store.
I think I'll go and have it refurbished if I can. I'll go and check directly to the apple store.
Well, thanks again for your time and discussion. Have a great day and all my best for you.
Good luck!
