Late 2006 MacBook 2.0GHz Problems

I have just got my first macbook through online classifieds


Im having a ton of problems with it already


The bottom of the laptop is cracked around every screw
Screen hinge is really really wobbly

Everytime you move it it will shut off (bump it or shake it)
Mouse button on trackpad it broken

Battery charge lasts only about an hour on power saving mode

Overheats alot, fans go crazy without a load on machine
Optical drive doesnt work at all! spits out discs a soon as it goes in


I have an apple genius bar appointment today there going to check it out
Just wanted to know is it even worth it to keep this? will they replace anything?


First and last mac?
Really loved this experience with the UI and everything just seemed easier on mac.
But if this mac is past its day i cannot afford a new macbook and will be going back to windows.
Thanks for your input

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), White, Late 2006 2GHz 1GB Ram 250GB

Ah...No. That's why I asked if you could get a refund.

Probably way more then you want....making the repairs, most likely, worth more then the MacBook.

Hate to be blunt, but If you are going to buy Mac's from unknown sources, who don't back up their product,

you will probably get burnt again....get a refurbished with a warranty if you can't afford a new one.
