Guest /u/thrilsika Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 A quick note regarding a recent experience at the Genius Bar. I brought in my laptop MBP 2020 4 Thunderbolt ports to have the battery replaced, and during the diagnostic test, I was informed that the logic board might also need repair. This significantly raised the estimated cost, even though it seemed the issue could potentially be resolved by simply replacing the battery. I decided to take the laptop home, purchased a battery, and successfully completed the repair myself—for a third of the price quoted (I am aware apple always charges more). This experience has shaken my confidence in the Genius Bar’s recommendations, as the additional repair was unnecessary in this case. submitted by /u/thrilsika [link] [comments]
