After trying several times to figure out what is wrong with our PowerBook and not getting it to work, I couldn’t stand it any longer…I had to know the worst. So today I’m shipping it off to a service called PowerBookResQ to have it diagnosed. They basically ship you a special box via DHL, you pack the PowerBook in the box, then call DHL to come pick it up, and PowerBookResQ promises a diagnosis within 72 hrs. All for $49. They can repair it but if you choose to not have them repair it, they will ship it back to you at no additional cost. I hope to know what needs to be fixed by early next week. Here’s hoping (ha ha) that it is something simple and cheap.

[Update: Just got a call yesterday (10/01/2004) from PowerBookResQ and was told the worst possible news: The entire logic board needs to be replaced at a cost of $899. Groan.]
