Hooray for handy boyfriends!

Several months ago, boyfriend’s dog accidentally peed on my laptop. Instead of paying the ridiculous $750 fee to repair my laptop or buying me a new one, we decided that he was going to try fixing it. eBay has a ton of MacBook parts on sale from other damaged laptops that weren’t worth fixing.

For about $250, boyfriend got a new logic board, another $42 for a new battery and probably another $30 for some other parts and tools. Boyfriend spent a lot of evenings working on my laptop and now it’s back!

Was it worth the wait? Yes. Absolutely. I bought the laptop used from a friend who left me about 72 hours of music on it. She’s a world traveler so she had many songs and genres I would never seek out. The cost savings is more than half of the fee I’d have to pay Apple for their insane policies. Luckily I wasn’t totally out of commission with access to other computers around me, either at home or at work. It’s good stuff.

Hooray!
