It bugged us that most consumer devices lacked repair instructions. This, of course, voids the warranty, but, hey, you were going to throw it out and get a new one anyway, right?

The first site I am sharing is run by a pair of guys who were in college and decided to try and fix their Mac themselves, then they were fixing their pals computers and then, weell, they said, You do it. Heck, a logic board replacement for the MacBook doesn't even involve soldering Awhile back I repaired my first original AirPort Basestation by replacing a burnt out capacitor. It should be mentioned that I am no stranger to this kind of stuff. No fancy Apple Store Genius, know-it-all, Fixer Upper, dude (BTW, most of the time, they do not even do their own repairs at Apple, they farm it out). I found two places that were willing, with a little effort, to show me how to take care of these problems myself. Why? Well I have a small contribution to make to help stop this madness. Everything from cell phones to TVs are all disposable now. Now here is where most folks would start to rail against the new disposable society. And guess what the verdict was? 800 dollars, 100 dollars cheaper than the Brand New Macbook. I took the unit down to the Apple Store, where again the Genius Bar Dude said it was covered by AppleCare and that they would call us in a few days and tell us what was up. She was not happy, however, to her credit, she was not super mad at me either, just at the situation. I failed, the next morning she had a host of keyboard and restart issues. I freaked out, flipped the unit over, yanked out the mag-safe power cable and the battery and spent the next several hours wiping it down and blowing air through the unit to get it dry. Then I did the worst thing a husband can do to a Wife's computer. The poor old unit sat next to the front door accumulating dust until I stripped some parts off of it and sent the remainder to the recycling plant here in San Francisco where they are used to this kind of recycling, as I am sure they are elsewhere these days. So she cam home with a new improved 20 inch, Aluminum Bezel, Glass front, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. A few tears were shed before she realized this would mean she would need a new iMac - STAT! The logic board was failing and a replacement would cost more than the worth of the unit. When she got there they broke it to her gently, her mac was dead. They had her Mac for a week and then called and said, "you better come down here". She had Apple Care and had no problem trucking it down to the local Apple Store Genius Bar for a looksie. Several weeks ago an associate of mine saw her beloved 17 inch iMac G5 all-in-one start to shut down for no apparent reason. Well today I thought I would talk about disposable computers. I thought we were going to talk about Wi-Fi?
This year saw the culmination of, arguably, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
