Took in my daughter's ipad mini to be fixed - the headphone jack had broken off inside the ipad and…read morewas well and truly lodged in. I had received a quote from Apple to fix it for $260 - however Mobile Essentials quoted me $110. Not only did they fix the ipad within 24 hours, they also only charged me $66 in total.

So... yesterday at about 3.30pm I killed my Mac. I dropped…read moreit on its side while it was charging on the concrete, amid an oily coconut tanning frenzy. Dam you random 28 degree day... seriously! 0.34 seconds later I was on the phone to the Apple Mac Doncaster store sobbing, hoping I wouldn't be judged be tech nerds for taking its life prematurely, or even worse labelled a murder. The conversation went a little like follows: Frantic Voice: "My Mac isn't working and I need help" Nerd Voice: "O.K Let's go to the start menu and find the...." Frantic Voice: "No, It won't turn on.... I dropped it..." Nerd Voice: "You did what..?" Frantic Voice: " I dropped it." Nerd Voice: "Well, that's probably why it isn't turning on then isn't it?" (Judgmental eyes burn through phone) Awesome, me and the tech nerd are on the same page... Following on from our conversation he offered me an appointment at the Apple Mac Doncaster store as he "clearly couldn't help me from the Brisbane call centre" in the hope of finding a resolution. My one reservation prior to visiting the store was fighting the billion other tech nerds grazing in tech nerd heaven that I would have to compete with. Thankfully they knew I was coming, greeted me at the door and somehow scanned me and my MAC in ready and waiting to see the specialist. After a long winded assessment and a bit of 'out the back' emergency surgery, the prognosis wasn't all bad. Apparently the plastic casing surrounding the charge area was all that was affected, but that meant the whole bottom case needed to be replaced in order for it to charge again. I was slapped with a quote of $700 (worst case scenario) and was told it wasn't able to be fixed today and that I would need to leave it for a 5-7 day turn around... Although my "Mac Genius" was super friendly and did empathize with my situation I still felt as though he could have tried a little harder. If there was a workshop out the back, then why couldn't he grab a hammer and start banging. Its only a little bit dented, wishful thinking I guess. Devastated... Time for a new MAC I think..
