I broke it!

I have a rather expensive, and very awesome Apple Mac computer. It decided to stop working on Thursday and I was troubleshooting it for the next couple days. After exhausting everything I could think of, I determined it must have a defective part in it which would need to be replaced.

Unfortunately the closest location where there is an Apple Store is in Edina which is an hour and a half away. However, the computer is still under 3 year warranty so it isn't going to cost me anything. it turns out they need to put a new motherboard and video card in it, which are the 2 most expensive parts for it. Without warranty it would not have been economical to fix it so I'm very glad I bought the AppleCare 3 year warranty.

The guy that helped me there used to work for my company: Geek Squad. So we got along very well while he troubleshooted the computer with me. I had to leave it there so they could replace the parts and it is supposed to be ready at the beginning of this week. I really hope it is done on Tuesday since I will actually be up in that area for work so it wont require a special trip to pick it up.
