Question obout Apple Repair
Hello,
I'm looking for a little insight and comments about Apple's "Genius" reapir service.
Heres the deal, I have a dual 1.8 powermac g5 about a week ago started experiencing kernal panics, through several frustrating days of troubleshooting, I finally caved and brought it into the apple store. Now the genius told me that its probaly not a problem with the RAM or hard drives, and he seemed fairly confident it was either the logic board or the processor. So heres my question;
He said it would cost $600 to replace the logic board, i would pay the money, if I was certain it was the logic board but I'm worried that once I pay for the initial repairs then maybe the processor will go, ramping the repair costs to over $1000. My computer is barely 3 years old and out of warranty, I hadn't even though of replacing it until a few ays ago. So basically, what do you guys think I should do? Can I put my faith into the repair and hope for the best? Or would I be better off just taking the money I would spend for repairs and put it towards a new machine?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
