I don’t know who to believe in.



I suspect there is a break down in translation. You can believe what ever you want.



What is the difference to you this detail, to keep hammering on the question...(?)



Let them fix the issue and hand back your computer, no?

This makes no sense...the logic board is the motherboard.

The feedbacks about that official reseller aren’t good: I just want to make sure they’re doing the work and they are doing it perfectly.


Take it somewhere else then, if no other option then you are stuck with their service—you can not change that.


I have no further comments.


Ii would hope it is a warranty repair.

Dear Leroy, I just want to make sure they’re doing right. The feedbacks about that official reseller aren’t good: I just want to make sure they’re doing the work and they are doing it perfectly.

they told me that the “logic board” (in Italian there’s a difference between logic board and mother board) was broken so they’re waiting for the spare part.

I was just asking myself whether the logic board and the mother board are the same thing. If they weren’t, is the logic board welded into the mother board (as the RAM, for example)? Because if the logic board and the mother board are welded togheter, the spare part they should have been waiting is the mother board.

Am I clear, now?
