Death in the family–MacBook Pro Gen1
I’ll keep this short to remove the emotion and simply state the facts.
- I have a cough.
- Went to bed with a glass of water by my bedside.
- Struggled to find alarm the next morning, knocking my water glass over.
- Had my MacBook Pro Gen1 Core Duo machine with the back / rear on edge.
- Water spilled straight into the industrial design for the cooling.
- DEAD… Level 4 Logic board replacement required. 7-10 days to repair. Estimated at $1,300.
I am now using a new 15″ MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo to write this. Trying to decide how to sell the parts to maximize the value of the old machine.

Ouch, this is really sad. Jeana dropped her cell phone in a glass of water once. That was easily replaced – and no where near the $1300 price tag.
