Bollocks. It’s the logicboard. While the price to fix it is pretty steep, it’s still a lot less than outright buying a new machine. Thing is, it’s a 6 year old machine. Need some perspective from everyone. Worth repairing or should I just call it quits.
@kaa You are making me quake a little. My MacBook Air must be approaching 5 years old. It is doing well, apparently, but I wonder how much life is in it? I have held onto machines, in part because I don't like the throw away aspect of the computer industry (cost as well) and been left with slow performance as my Mac crawls through tasks. I hate to say it, because I know that I will be saying it to myself at sometime, just so that you can stay current I'd go for a new machine.
