Macbook Pro (mid-2014) made worse by taking to Apple Genius Bar
I took my Macbook to the Genius Bar because the battery status indicator said “replace soon”. After diagnosis, I was told that it wouldn’t just be a routine $199 battery replacement, but that it would be $575 for some “additional software issues”. I declined the service, as the trade in value of my Macbook through Apple is only $500. Since the moment I received it back from their care, it has been unable to stay on consistently without shutting off randomly. I never had this problem before. What can I do besides paying to fix a problem that didn’t exist before I handed it to them?
