Hi All,
Have an early 2008 15" MacBook Pro (2.3, 256, 2GB RAM upgraded to 4GB).
3-4 weeks ago, the graphics card failed & Genius barista said the entire logic board must be replaced. Apple considers it "vintage" but can still replace it for a flat $300. This is too expensive for me.
Does anyone suggest other options? Here in NYC there are some places that might be able to fix it cheaper. But any other ideas? Should I sell it for parts?
Thanks,
