MacBook issues

Ohhhh the broken LapTop

The last 2 days I’ve noticed that when I go to charge my laptop that the charger light is very dim, but it continued to show the signs that it was still charging my laptop. Last night, I took one quiz on line, I had my list out of things to do, I was going to do at least 2 quiz’s on my other class and my Math homework. My day was cut short and I was hardly able to do anything after my computer shut down and wouldn’t turn back on. I was frustrated and tired, so after dinner we headed out to the Apple Store in the Falls. We didn’t have an appointment so we were on the standby list. We were waiting for almost 2 hours when we finally got called up. He tested the computer to see what it could be, he said it could either be the connection to where you charge the laptop (DC-IN board replacement) because it wasn’t the battery, or it could be the motherboard. Not only can they not just sell me the part, to see if we can do it ourselves, since my boyfriend knows how to fix things like this, but it’s also going to take 4-7 days to get fixed. If it’s not the problem and it is the motherboard they call you and you have to decide if you want to get it fixed for $300 and up. YIKES!!!! So I have a big decision to make if its the motherboard.

To keep the old faithful that’s failed, or to get a new Laptop?!?

My laptop has been great for almost 2 years now. But some may say that 2 years isn’t old, and it shouldn’t be giving me problems so soon. I agree, and as much as I brag, and always give points to the Mac, last night it failed me. I’m very upset and very frustrated because I have classes on line and now I have to either use my boyfriends old laptop which is smaller or the the computer in the office room, and I won’t go into detail as to why I hate going into that office, but I just want my LAPTOP BACK! So I have a decision to make because if it isn’t the DC-IN board replacement and it is the motherboard I can either fix it or wait about 4 months or so for Apple to come out with the new ones, and then get a new one. I know in about a year or so I would want a new one anyway, so I think I would wait to get a new one, but oh what a mission I will be put on for the next 4 months or so with school. Why do things have to be so difficult?!? Just when I was starting to see things going up in life, something always brings you back down.
