Apple
Biajee and I went to the Apple Store yesterday. Our iMac has been dead for a few weeks. Biajee took it apart and diagnosed that the logic board was broken.
The guy at the Apple store suggested that the power supply was bad. It'd be $85 for parts and $85 for labor. He said that if we found out that the machine still would not boot up after we invested on the power supply, then the issue would be the logic board, which would cost $1700. We only paid $800 for the computer.
"You should buy a new iMac," he said gleefully.
"No." Biajee was livid. "I'm not going to invest in another MacIntosh product ever again."
"I only want to back up the data in the hard drive." I said.
"That'll be $135." The guy winked.
"But this model had a recall." Biajee tried to fight.
"You came here too late. The scope for the recall has already ended so you have to pay to get it fixed."
We left the store with nothing. I'm not a keen Apple fan any more.
