[Cialug] Off topic: Mac repair?

[John Moder]

Thanks for the mention DC.

I don’t really have anyone in town that I would trust.  Depending on age, I usually go through Apple for hardware repair, though they will likely send it to TN,  and they will replace the entire logic board.

If it is of an age where the Apple Store won’t work on it, for most intents the hardware is likely not worth the cost of the repair…

I know there are a couple people in town that service hardware, but they aren’t listed with Apple, nor would I implicitly trust them.  I’d prefer not to mention them on a list, but you can email me direct at jmoder at crispsolutions.net<mailto:jmoder at crispsolutions.net>.

Did you run diagnostics on it?  How did you come to the conclusion it is a bad SMC?

I don't know of a local shop that does chip level repair like that. You'll
probably need a motherboard replacement.

Guessing John Moder (on this list) may have some resources for you, he's an
Apple consultant, his company is called Crisp.

Sorry for the fruit-focused question but this is the most technical,
regional group I’m in: looking to get a MacBook motherboard repaired
(probably a bad SMC chip). Good shops in the area?
Thanks,
Guy
