[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1693060, member: 9096"] If you have some good generic tools, most cell phones you can open... Rossmann does a lot of work on laptops, and you can open them just fine, the problem is that there's ONE chip that goes bad, and Apple has told that chip manufacturer to not sell that $5 chip to anyone else, so your options to repair that laptop are to pillage the chip from another computer, or to send it to apple, where they'll replace the whole board for $1500, and you'll probably lose your data. That chip is also in some funky apple phone/battery case that uses that chip, so people are buying that case for $120, tearing it apart for the chip, and tossing the rest of it in the trash.. very green! [MEDIA=youtube]IBqSOA9wRPk[/MEDIA] What good is a right if you can't exercise it? Imagine if there were no aftermarket car parts available.. no brake pads, no tires, no oil filters, except through the OEM dealership.. Now imagine if your only option at the dealership was to replace the engine when the spark plugs needed changing because that's all they offer. It's one thing to require special tools to do a job, heck, look at the array of screwsdrivers and wrenches you need.. standard, metric, torx, phillips, etc, and you'll need specialized equipment as well, maybe a tranny jack, timing light, feeler gauges, but you can get all those things, and with a little skill you're usually able to get the job done [/QUOTE]
