[Hidden-tech] MacBook Pro (Mid-2012) Repairs in Franklin County

[David Bennett]

Thanks all.  Brought it up to Browns in Bratt today and they basically told
me that since it doesn't power up anymore and Apple considers it obsolete,
there is nothing they can do.  Any replacement parts wouldn't be
available.  I do have a fresh backup of all the data, so that's a plus.
Time to purchase a new machine.  Thanks again for the suggestions.
