Just got back from apple store. Mine isn't covered under the recall/support issue (http://discussions.apple.com/thread....readID=2753605).

49 months I've had my MBP.. why now! You were working just fine last night.

$500 for the logic board, including labour.

Should I do it, or buy the new MBP? Though it is the 1st gen of the new lightbolt/sandy bridge MBP's, I kind of want to wait till the 2nd gen. That or I get a refurb iMac, but they're due for an update come September when the new OS & cycle of product updates come out.. hm.

So if I do buy something new, I have this nice expensive paperweight here. Should I sell it off for cheap and let the buyer know they can fix it but for $500? ehhhh
