Hi
Just seeing if there would be any interest here in my old 17" MacBook Pro (2008, 2.5ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 250gb, 4gb RAM) plus 23" Cinema Display before I put it on eBay?? Don't have a figure for it yet (and not quite ready yet - needs wiping etc, and new one to arrive), but just wanted to offer it up here first!
Cheers,
Ben

Not having much luck with MacBooks this week.... this one I wanted to sell has now gone kaput. Seems like the old NVIDIA fail, and well out of the repair programme window.... arse... any need one for spares?!

One of my 15 inchers went that way. Simon (Saspro) put me in touch with a company in Kingston upon Thames who are currently fixing it for £200. Whether you think that's worth the money is not my call, but we felt it was worth mending. http://www.analogic.co.uk_________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I've found a couple this morning... one which reflowed the solder (or something) for around £100 - if it worked that might be worthwhile... hard to tell what I might realistically get for the MBP though... was hoping for around £400??
There another service centre which lists the repair on eBay - that one sounds more comprehensive, for around £160.... feedback seems positive...
Not sure I'd feel happy which a quick fix and selling in on if it wouldn't last the buyer long....

I can highly recommend The Mac Fixer - http://www.macfixer.co.uk - I know the guy who runs it from another forum and he's fixed people's Macs, iPhones and iPads on that forum with many happy customers. Knows his stuff and the repairs are done promptly too - sometimes delivered back to you within 24-48 hours! The guy's name is Darren Griffin, give him a call on 0845 689 0252 or use his contact form here: http://www.macfixer.co.uk/contact/Twitter: @TheMacFixer

No probs, tell him 'MacOS10' from mac4mac forums recommended him - you might get a better rate! He'll tell you straight if it's not worth doing or might not fix the problem, he won't just take the money like some will.
