Naruto Uzumaki Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 sorry to be the bear of bad news but your screwed because if you have no apple care plan of even one year then there not even gonna bother fixing it. also you probably have been chipped off so that really sucks If I were you i would file a report for selling broken products unless it was a as is product.

Anything that can be repaired in warranty can be repaired out of warranty, and stores actually prefer out of warranty repairs since they get more money for them (in warranty repairs, the store gets a flat rate; out of warranty the store gets all the labor cost, and sometimes part of the parts cost). The problem is, the power port might be part of the logic board, which would be a very costly repair. I'm not familiar with how the MacBook's internals are laid out.

wywywywy Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 When you say "power port", do you mean the MagSafe board? If so it is not part of the logic board, and can be replaced (easily). I've seen it on eBay. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98208-broken-charger-port/#findComment-703542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
