TI Book Repair?
Hey friends,
I have a dilemma, I have an older powerbook that has seen some better days... I took it into my local Computize and they mention that they can 1. fix it... with regular parts (at a substantial cost) or 2. ship it to a partner service place and they can do a full repair of anything damaged for $429 over approx 3 weeks, with a 6 month guarantee.
Questions:
\tHas anyone heard of such a service? Have they had a good experience with it?
\tWill they really fix everything? the screen alone is usually $6-700, with a drive another $200 usually.
\tIs this too good to be true?
I'm not concerned with the time it will take to repair, (I have another machine) but I'm worried about being able to sell the Ti Book for a reasonable amount once it's fixed up... would it be worth approx $900?
Appreciate your thoughts!!!
Titanium Powerbook
15inch screen
500mhz G4 Processor
768 mgs of Ram

Broken:
\t- Screen has two vertical colored lines on the right side
\t- CD Combo drive is dead
\t- Battery has problems connecting
\t- HD is starting to get a little loud
Thanks!
