I am looking at a MacBook pro 17 early 2011 with water damage that doesn't turn on. Now t would have a voided warranty wondered if anyone knew how much apple would charge to fix. If its worth fixing?

It mostly depends on the damage that was done (the LCD, keyboard, etc) but yours does not turn on so I am assuming it was fully submerged and completely damaged. Therefore, I would think your warranty is most definitely void.
When did this happen? How bad was it? Have you taken any measures to get it to dry? You can go online and you can find tips on how to dry it at least a bit so that it is not as bad, it might not get it to work, but it can help you prevent rusting, which would cause further damage thus reducing the probability of getting repaired/replaced. Also, do not try to turn it on unless you have tried to dry it as it will damage it even more (electricity + water = destruction). I would suggest giving this a try, and if it is still not working then it is probably worth a try with Apple, just go in for a consultation in terms of pricing. If they seem too high and/or the warranty is void, then you can opt for after-market products which significantly reduce the repair costs... as you would have nothing to lose anyway in terms of warranty.
It's $3,000, that pays my rent. Even investing $1,000 would be better than just not giving it a try at all lol.

  • Macbook pro early 2011 with amd 6750m

    Hi,
    its a fact that many users have problem with the amd 6750m after some time of use ans Apple replaces the logic board. I tried do discover where is the problem contacting AMD: is it the GPU itself or a soldering?
    Id like to know whats the problem, since my macbook has no more apple care and im facing the problem.
    best regards

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The MacBook Pro has got its GPU soldered, so the whole logic board has to be replaced if the GPU is damaged.
    I have read cases of other Early 2011 MacBooks Pro users with the same problem. It looks like a general issue

  • I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011, with 10.7.5 that recently started freezing.

    I have run disk verification and repair.  I have tried resetting the SMS with that- hold down cmd, opt, shift and power at start up trick.  I have deleted tons of files that were a waste of space.  The problem started after trying to run time machine to reaccess my internet history. I deleted the history and then realized that I wanted it again and I used time machine to recover it. That was around the time it started freezing up.  Also, another culprit could be my email... I accedentally set my email account to active on my school profile and recieved tons of emails at once. I tried deleting them, but many of them gave me an error message and wouldn't let me delete.  Then my computer started freezing up... I don't know what was the culprit, but maybe these clues help?
    Also, I am wondering if I upgrade to the free Maverick OS if this has a chance at fixing the problem.  ?
    Please help! It's been several days now and I am trying to get my school work done.  If all else fails I will take it to the Apple Store.

  • My Macbook Pro (early 2011, 15") randomly shuts down after being turned on from sleep mode?

    -So over the past week, I find that my macbook pro will randomly shut down within 1 minute of being turned on from sleep mode. Within the first few days of this, I figured out that it will only happen if I move my mac around before its completely into sleep mode. BUT now it shuts down regardless or preparation before sleep mode and everytime I turn my computer back on, I log in, and then have restore my chrome window tabs and stuff. What is going on??
    -Do I need to replace my drive??
    *PLEASE help me, thanks!
    P.S. - I am runnng OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5

    austine38,
    if you boot into Safe mode, and then immediately restart into normal mode, log in, and put it to sleep, does it still exhibit the same random shutdowns afterwards?

  • No audio coming out of MacBook Pro Early 2011 with Mountain Lion

    I just updated my Early 2011 MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and I am having no problems except for the fact that I have no audio coming out of my computer.. when I turn it up it says that it's all the way up but theres a circle with a line through it like it's muted or something like that. When I click the mute button on my keyboard the line goes through the little speaker picture like it usually does and the cicle with the line is still there but then when I unmute it and turn it up it's still all the way up with the circle and line. Any ideas?
    Here's a screenshot of it:

    Same issue with the same model.  I restarted and the problem went away.  Hopefully it will stay away.

  • How install snow in a macbook pro early 2011 with mountain lion? snow leopard original dvd its no support...

    Any solution for this?

    You have to boot the system from the original Snow Leopard DVD. With the DVD inserted in the drive restart the system and nhold down either the Option key, and then select the SNow Leopard DVD from the boot selection screen that comes up, or the C key to boot directly from the DVD drive.
    Once the computer starts from the SL DVD Click the Utilities menu item and select Disk Utility. Once that starts select the top most entry in the keft side, the drive name and size, then the partition tab. Select one partition from the Partition Layout area drop down, Middle area, give it the name Macintosdh HD and format Mac extended (Journaled) and then click the Apply button.
    Once all that is done exit DU and continue with the install.

  • My macbook PRO early-2011 was dropped and the cover of the screen now has a bump, is there a way to repair or change the cover? if so, what would the cost be?

    Also the cover under the notebook is screwed up, anyways the unibody is fine but both covers are pretty much damaged, anyway tho change those?

    Let's start by highlighting the fact that this repair will not be covered by any form of Apple warranty. That being said, you can check in places like www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com for parts prices as a reference. You will have to change the entire lid, with all its guts, but the replacemente procedure is of medium to easy level of difficulty; basically you're disconnecting the cables and unscrewing the lid off.
    Note that you can opt for new or used replacement parts.

  • Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade

    Dear all,
        A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O
    Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8),  I have tried every option of those doesn't work.
    With EFI it just boots Mac
    With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s
    I do not know what is wrong :/
    P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).

    I am willing to try this, but I was kinda trying to find a solution that doesn't need me to unscrew stuff ..etc

  • Does anyone know how much apple charge to replace apple headphone with mic?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knew how much apple charge to replace apple headphone with mic?

    If they are under warranty - nothing.
    If not, then you would have to buy a new set.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro (Early 2011) so slow!!!

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) with intel dual - core i7 4 gb RAM so slow. It came with Snow Leaopord and upgraded it to Lion, then uprgaded it to Mountain Lion. Whenever I run one of the Adobe CS5 apps it gets reeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyy slow. It used to not get slow at all. Also when I have FCPX open it gets really slow. I used to be able to run Photoshop and Safari at the same time and now it is really slugish and slow. Is there anthing I can do to  clean it up and make t run faster?
    Thanks

    Follow Sig's suggeston in adding more RAM.
    Photoshop and FCP are RAM dependent applications.  With 4GB of RAM, open activity monitor and see your page outs and swap used. 
    I have 16GB installed - page outs - 0. swap used - 0.  see image below.
    8GB should be a perfect upgrade for what you're using it for.
    Good luck.

  • How to fix magsafe port Macbook Pro early 2011

    For a while I struggled to charge my Macbook Pro, so I decided to buy a new charger. It worked fine for a couple weeks but now it has started to do the same thing. I have to spend like maybe 3-4 min wiggling the charger until it finally starts, and then I  have to keep it perfectly still for it to charge. Recently my macbook stopped charging completely. The magsafe port looks very burned (its kind of black). Also the area around the magsafe port is always HOT, even before the charging issues. How can fix this issue? Is this common for Macbook Pro early 2011 13" ? I don't have apple coverage at this time.

    Sean, see if these troubleshooting tips help:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters if not, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out.

  • Macbook Pro(Early 2011) not turning on; Flashing Orange Light on Charger

    So yesterday, I did a teardown of my Macbook pro (early 2011) in an effort to clean the keyboard because some keys weren't working. I used rubbing alcohol and As I was putting the keyboard and trackpad connectors back in, I heard the computer making a startup/shut down noise so; I realized I neglected to unplug the battery - out of fear of shock and impulse, I unplugged the battery quickly. The computer shut off and, ever since then, my computer won't turn on. When I plug in the charger; it initially gives me a very faint green light, and when I hold on the power button it changes into a very dim orange blinking light.
    I've tried:
    1) Resetting the SMC (No such luck)
    2) Unplugging the battery; letting the charger charge the motherboard overnight (No luck)
    I'd really appreciate some fresh ideas; just to reitterate, it only stopped working the second I impulsively unplugged the charger. So, can a battery die from something like that? Short circuit? Any advice would be really appreciated as I'm in the middle of finals week and really need it.

    My only issue with that is that there weren't any hardware issues before i decided to open it up. I know the apple people will be very eager to charge me for something in not convinced is a hardware issue. I just get the feeling i screwed something up while I was putting it back together. I'll post a picture of my logic board soon to see if there's something obvious I'm missing
