MBP needs repair - can I get my HD and a MB for rent?

[Keiichi]

Hi,

my 2007 MBP just died. I'm getting distorted video and can no longer boot. So I guess it's the known Nvidia bug. I'll head to the Apple Store tomorrow morning, but I have some questions as I never had the pleasure to bring my MBP to a real Apple Store here in Germany. Do Apple Stores give you the harddrive if you ask for it? I really need my data next week at university ... my thesis deadline is getting closer ... (I do have TimeMachine Backups, but the last time I was connected to my server was a week ago)

Second question: Do they have Macbooks for rent (for the time of the repair?). I'd surely pay for that but I at least need the option ...

Thanks in advance!

I've never heard of them renting Macs in these situations
I seriously doubt it, but you can always ask!

Good luck with your thesis!
I know you will be glad to get that behind you!

Woof, Woof - Dawg

You need to backup your data before you bring it in.

No they won't give you an extra harddrive. You should have a harddrive for back up anyway.

You may get lucky and get a new mbp, that would be nice!

My 2007 MBP's mobo has been replaced twice for the Nvidia issue already. No they don't offer a loan laptop.
