i'm not quite sure, but i think the dregs of a holsten pils has killed my macbook.
everything works, except the screen... plus i've heard the sugar from any liquid could corrode the logicboard.
i salvaged the ram and the hard-drive, so i'm wondering if there's anyway to buy a macbook WITHOUT the ram and HD (besides ebay), which would save me a hella lotta money.

thanks

this is why laptops suck

Andy · 19-06-2007, 08:04

nah it's completely my fault, was trying to plan san andreas, drink beer and surf the web at the same time.

Well, you can ask some computer expert there. I mean, just some very small computer "shop". I think they can deliver macbook bits

(in Holland they can, for pc at least)

Do Gooder · 19-06-2007, 09:17

you can get bits for Macbooks - but you'll more than likely pay the price of a Macbook-Pro diagnosing the fault/faults, buying the parts in and getting them fitted.

PC's are more fixable... generally.

solix · 19-06-2007, 09:23

besides, pcs are as good as macs (thats what people say). so why pay much. (this is not a question, I'm not asking you to react! so please dont )

I have always prefered mac operating system... don't get me wong i got PC's too. just macs tend to go tits up less and require less tweaking to keep them happy.

I find it funny that people think of macs as toys...

far from it in my experience.
they are serious well made tools for the creative business...

and for filling up your ipod... ahm

twentysixtwelve · 19-06-2007, 11:05

no.. no im not gonna fall into the trap... nope....

Ok macs suck. No they dont... well they do... but not as much as a pc... well some do.... not all....all pcs do tho.... what, suck? who sucks? eh... who said that... said what... eh?

Do Gooder · 19-06-2007, 11:38

Chuppa Chups suck big time but Werther's Original's where its at.

Yoyi · 19-06-2007, 13:25

How about the desktop vs laptop war

one advantage

I get to grow all sorts of goey nasty germ creatures inside my $7 keyboard

As to the macbook bits, I think ebay or a new one is the best bet

11 months. accidental damage isn't covered on the warranty.
might be able to claim it on my home insurance, hopefully!
then just sell the ram on ebay, get a few bob and buy a new one.
