Replaced Screen (15” Had too many dead pixels…they actually replaced the entire top assembly, so bye-bye dents and scratches!): $550 (screen) $250 (top case) But, just on mine alone which I purchased in 2006 I have:

…my advice to anyone with a Mac is that they just buy the Applecare protection plan because it’s always worth it!. (the following is copied from another post I had here and is something which I feels needs to be added) It’s still configured for that and I could fire it up and use it today if I needed to! I still have an olde G3 Beige 233 which I had Yellowdog Linux on and used as a firewall/Gateway between my Cable modem and router.

So, guess what I use it for? SERVER! It has Gigabit ethernet and sits in my basement, humming away and helping to offload files till they can be archived onto external/removable media, and store stuff like my massive collection of mp3s (which I have backed up, of course), as well as movies and TV shows which I have recorded. And of course, I can use the external Firewire for even more drives! (and yes, it’s louder than modern Powermacs because of the SCSI). The Firewire died on it a few years back and remarkably enuf, I got a Firewire PCI card from Radio Shack(!) and got it to work in it for a replacement!!! It still has USB 1.1 (constipatory, indeed) and has to be hacked to use any UltraATA drive over 160GB in size on the internal ATA bus, but it has room for 4 UltraATA devices on the bus internally, and I have an UW/UF SCSI adapter with a chain of four 50GB drives in it. It was used daily for 8 years though and remained on for much of that time. Now, I also have an older G4 Digital Audio 466Mhz Powermac which is beginning to show it’s age. I found a Howto online for it and just followed the instructions there. The only thing that I ever had to do was replace the hinges in the top cover, which was actually pretty easy. My kids use it and it was my wife’s Mac for a few years. A little clunky at times, but overall for a Web/Mail/Chat/Office 2004 user it’s great.

(It also fixed that throttling bug.) It’s hard to say whether the overheating batteries are a newly discovered issue now that these batteries are aging, or one that Apple is finally dealing with all at once, but the recall is welcome either way.Īnalyst Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the most trusted sources of Apple rumors, believes that the company will release an “all-new” 16-inch MacBook Pro design later this year.I still have a G3 Pismo Powerbook that runs OS 10.3 (Panther) pretty well! 60 GB Hard Drive and 512MB of RAM. We asked Apple what’s causing these batteries to overheat, but the company dodged those questions.Īpple knows it’s had a reputation problem with its newer MacBook Pros since 2016, and it’s clearly been taking them more seriously over the past year, offering Flexgate fixes and keyboard replacement programs for issues that the company might have traditionally ignored. Last April, the company also issued a battery-related recall for some 2016 13-inch MacBook Pros, but that one wasn’t considered a safety issue. In general, the company says the recall doesn’t affect any other MacBooks, so this shouldn’t affect the smaller 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display that was also sold between those same years. And Apple says this won’t extend your warranty. That’s quite a while, particularly if you need that machine for work. The bad news: You’ll need to send your MacBook to one of Apple’s repair centers, and the company’s estimating the fix could take one to two weeks. If eligible, the company says it’ll replace your battery for free, meaning your older MacBook Pro may wind up lasting longer than it might have normally - much as older iPhones did when Apple offered $29 battery replacements as an apology for throttling the speed of those phones. A new lease on life for your trusty old MBP?
