Replacing the cap might not actually be a win. Would need to know more about the actual hardware costs, as well as how often swapping 1 cap really fixes the problem (like, why did it blow to begin with? Will it just blow again in 3 days?)
- dkersten 6y agoRight, but apple don’t charge $20 for a motherboard, its more like $900, vs a third party repair shop charging $100 for labour + $0.40 for the cap. The third party is still a lot cheaper because apple don’t want to repair those parts.
