Problem for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Computer with Intel Duo Core 15.4...
My daughter's 15
My daughter's 15'' macbook pro is on the blink. It will turn on but the screen stays black. Battery charges fine, the on sound works when I turn it on, lights for battery charge work, etc. She called Apple and they told her repair range can be from $300-800! I just need advice if that repair price is right, is the laptop done for, etc. I am not computer sauvvy. Also, she is at work so I have quiet time without the sad mumbling from her and ask someone. LOL! Any advice?

Hello. Thank you for choosing fixya! Begin by removing the battery and unplugging the computer. leave it with no power for at least two minutes. Then reinstall the battery, power up and that reset may solve your problem.
That said, I would not spend money repairing any laptop that was over three years old. What we have found is that the solder used in compliance with low lead requirements does not hold up over time. Therefore, repairing an older computer these days is not advised.
Personally, when one of my laptops starts acting badly and it is over three years old I replace it with one on sale in the 300-400 dollar range.
Regards, Joe.
