Wet macbook pro value

Hi. Someone in my family recently soaked a mid-2014 retina MBP then turned it on and the screen "made pretty rainbows" and the computer wouldn't work.
Well, it seems to run fine now, except the battery charge shows 99% and states that it should be replaced immediately.
Two questions:
1. Are there any diagnostic tests I can run that would indicate how much damage (if any) was done?
2. Any idea what it would be worth on ebay? $600?

Actually, as soon as I unplug it the computer shuts off. I'm guessing that if I replace the battery it will work the same with a power source or without.
Thoughts?

MacBook Pro value

How much would I realistically expect to sell a MacBook Pro 13" (non retina) 8gb RAM, 2.9 GHz(Ivy Bridge) , 480Gb M500 Crucial SSD (Mid 2012)?
And where should I sell?

Take a look at similar models on eBay - of course you'll need to adjust your price to compensate for the RAM upgrade and the SSD (in particular).
I've used eBay to sell old Macs in the past. It costs you a bit but you should factor that into your Reserve price. I wouldn't sell on craigslist - I just don't think it gets as many local hits as eBay gets world-wide hits.
Good luck,

The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

Hi there,
I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

What is the value of MacBook Pro 17 inch 160 GB?

What is the value of MacBook Pro 17 inch 160 GB?

You can try one of Apple's recycling partners to see how much they'll offer for it:

But you are likely to get more for it on ebay or craigslist.

My MacBook Pro got wet and I need help?

We just had a different air conditioner installed above my computer desk. Even though my MacBook Pro was not on top of the desk it still got wet. It soaked through the desk straight on to the pullout computer shelf onto my laptop. We soaked it in rice for a week. We just pulled it out and nothing. The light on the battery won't even light up. Any suggestions?? Is there somewhere I can go for a miracle fix (I'm in Salt Lake City, UT) or am I totally screwed???

The only thing you can do is take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider for diagnostics to see what damage the water did. There is nothing more a user can do than you have already tried.
Note: it is not a good idea to publish hardware serial numbers on an open, public forum.

My MacBook Pro got wet and I lost all of my childs photos from the day she was born. Is there anyway I could get these pictures back from my iCloud? I actually care more for getting the photos back than I do my laptop. Please help! Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple community khnkOliver.
I assume these photos, or at least not all of them weren't in photo stream.
You should be able to recover your photos from a back up.

Component Value of Macbook Pro

Hey there,
So I have a 13" Macbook Pro that was purchased in December of 2010 that has been water damaged. There's some corrosion on the logic board and the battery doesn't charge up. Other than that though, it's a functional computer. I was planning on selling it for parts and was just wondering if you guys had any estimate on what the computer would be worth. I don't know too much about the value of the components, and want to avoid being ripped off by someone. Any insight would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Ebay is where the value of everything movable is determined nowadays. Check completed sales of similar machines for parts only. The fact that your logic board is bad undoubtedly reduces the value of the machine by at least half from what it would be worth used in working order.

Macbook Pro got wet with Coke

Hi everyone, first sorry for my bad english.
So a few days ago I wet my mid 2009 MacBook pro with coke and thats's when the problems started. the coke spilled on the right side of the notebook where is the hard drive and the optical drive, but I guess it doesnt matter because when I opened it up everything was very messy. First I cleaned everything and waited a couple of days and then booted it up. Everything was ok until I saw the question mark folder ( my HD is dead, im sure) I tried to boot up with another hard drive with windows 7 installed, it started to a point where a mistake was found and it couldnt repair it. I tried to put the original mac os x dvd and hit the option key at start up, the mouse appears but the mac os install disk doesnt. I tried with bootable usb and thw results are the same, long story short my macbook cant regocnize any bootable image..:( I will appreciate any ideas and advices to help to give life again to this macbook. :)
BTW I also tried to start it up without RAM I and thw usual beebs appeared, I thing this kind of a good sign

You're simply going to have to bite the bullet and take your MacBook Pro into your local Apple Store/AASP and have them evaluate the damage. Corrosion is going to set in and your Mac will - sooner or later - simply fail.
You may want to see if you have accidental damage on your computer equipment on your renter's/homeowner's insurance. 'Fixing' the problem is going to be expensive - you may want to put the money you'd spend having your machine repaired towards the purchase of a new unit.

Better Value between Macbook Pro 17 inch stock or 27inc iMac i5 stock

I need some help, which would be the better value between a stock 17inch macbook pro and a stock i5 27inch iMac? Using it for school, small video and picture editing. Price not a concern, I'm just looking for the better value in the computer itself. Meaning resale, upgradeability, (plan to use for at least the next three years)!

I'm saying to myself why spend the additional $500 for a slower machine?
Um...because it's portable? Because if there's a blackout you can still use it for 8 hours? Because if you travel to another country you can still do your video editing there rather than waiting to get home with all that film and photography to do it? Because it fits in a bag and doesn't require a desk? Because it can be hooked up to larger monitors for presentations in class?
I mean, Dude, it may not seem like a "slower" machine is worth $500, but it's not cheap or easy to make something that is as fast and does as much as that 17" does in something that thin and that light. There is a battery, a camera, an light sensitive keyboard, a gorgeous screen, and all the other components squeezed into that narrow and limited diameter...and you think that's not wroth $500 extra dollars because it's slower than a 27" iMac? If you love the speed and power, go 27" iMac. It's a great, great, machine. Awesomely fast, powerful and beautiful. But don't tell us "cost doesn't matter" and "resale" is what you're interested in and then complain about the 17" costing extra but being slower. You're being dishonest about what matters to you there.
If cost of the machine and its speed matters (far more than portability)--and you want the fastest and cheapest, then it's the 27" iMac. If cost doesn't matter, and you want the best resale value for when you sell the machine after three years, then it's the 17" MBP. That's just how the market is. People like speed yes, but they love portability.
Edited to add: but you might want to wait. Many are saying that the MBP might get a bump to an i5 and that would improve the speed of a 17" considerably.

Trade in value, 10 month old Macbook Pro Retina w/ WIFI issues?

I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro, Retina, upgraded memory from base model, 256 of awesome Samsung PCI-IE storage with the apparently very common wireless card issue. Web pages don't load, erratic ping times and high packet loss. It was purchased at an Apple store.
What is the common scenario one would expect if they simply want the new model, or would I be making an assumption that the wireless card issue was resolved at some point?
As a consumer, what would you expect?

I would have expected that you would exercise your warranty. We are only users like you. No one here can be expected to know what your scenario would be like. But every day you waste on these forums is one day less remaining on your warranty.

Why do About This Mac and Finder give different values of available space on my MacBook Pro?

About This Mac is reporting over 150 GB of disk space usage for backups on my MacBook Pro (2 GHz Intel Core i7, mid 2011) (About This Mac|More Info|Storage). Disk Utility shows the same usage as About This Mac.
When I check the available disk space in Finder, it reports approx 150GB more available (i.e. does not seem to see the backups).
I have never used the MacBook for backup - I back up to a Time Capsule.
I bought the MacBook second-hand - I have deleted the old users from Users & Groups. Is it possible that there is a hidden backup lurking on the disk? If so, how can I access it and delete it?
Is it possible that there is a bug in the Mountain Lion About This Mac storage reporting (but if so, why does the usage reported by Disk Utility agree with Abouth This Mac, but not with Finder?)
I really don't want to have to format my disk and restore from Time Machine. I'm not sure that the Time Machine backup does not include the 150GB of "hidden" files...
Any help would be appreciated.
Craig

It is local snapshots that Time Machine makes. Even when not connected to TM disk, TM creates local snapshots on your HD. Finder does not consider local snapshots essential and will use the space if necessary.

Used Value MacBook Pro

...dumb question, but... I just bought a new MacBook and was figuring on selling my older MacBook Pro. The problem is I don't have the slightest idea of what it's worth and I will not deal with eBay (burned three times in a row). So, the question is where to sell it and what should I ask?
It's one of the original Pro's, 2 GHz w/ 2 GBytes RAM and a 100 GByte HD. I have it setup as a dual boot system with WinXP. Still two years left on the extended warrantee, too. Anyone have a low to expected ballpark idea?

I am not sure if this a forum to answer such questions but typically one could use eBay to search for "completed listings" to ballpark a price and then use craigslist to sell it locally. One can also use universities, art institutions and other mac demand places to sell the computer.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro +1000 Euro repair costs (no external marks)

Hello together,
I am looking out for some advise. My mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15inch with an anti glare display just got a new logic board. I paid more than 500 Euro at a Premium Reseller called mStore in Kiel (Germany) to replace it, because the display stayed black after booting. My Macbook didn't even have a single external mark or scratch on the housing. I accepted it and said to myself if it is working again, it is alright. But less than two month later a vertical line is drawing from the top frame to the bottom (see photo). The line is narrow, it is just one pixel, but it is really annoying because it is always in sight. I went to the same reseller and asked what to do, they recommend a second repair attempt for again 500 Euro. In less then two month I cannot afford +1000 Euro for a laptop with an actual value of about 1100 Euro.
What is the best thing to do now?
I am really disappointed by Apple's quality. I am 24 years old and everybody in my family is using Apple computers since I can think back. The first time I could call a Mac my own was when I was 13.
When I graduated from school I was 19 and worked in a hospital to finance a new iBook G4. I had this one for about four years and it has been traveling with me through New Zealand and Asia for more than a year. I never had any issue with it, even when I dropped it from the top bank in a dormitory. It is still alive and working fine.
When I started studying the time came to buy an Intel Mac (15'' Macbook Pro, anti glare) and again I was very happy with the quality. I have also been a huge advocate for Apple products and was confidently suggesting them to friends and family. But today I feel disappointed by the brand.
Best
Marco

I had the same problem on a display MBP 15" in 2010, and it is a display problem recognised by Apple.
It was covered by the warranty.
If you do nothing, the number of vertical pixel lines will increase over time.
Good that Apple helped you out of this problem.
