Nice. That's pretty much the same as my MBP. Dual 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 250GB HDD and 13.3 display. It's just an awesome notebook as you are well aware.

I took it apart yesterday and found corrosion on the logic board (pic attached). The good news is that I can replace it. The bad news is that a new board will cost $500-700. The price seemed high but when I factored in the dual CPU's and new GPU that's included with it, the price actually seemed kind of fair. The wife has given me her blessing to order it but I honestly feel bad after installing the Koni's ~2 weeks ago.

Good morning all. :tiphat:

Yah, in my experience MB replacements in laptops are pretty straightforward. It shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes tops. Good luck! :)

ahh, i opened mine up twice to increase ram and also to add the 2nd HD. i luv my mbp, it's been really great. yep, for $700 i would just get a new one and keep that one for spare parts if you can clean the other bits and salvage them. :)

The car can be fixed, just hope you are okay.

karotz- get Bridgestone S04's. they stick very well in the wet.

Why not Continental ExtremeContact?? Very good especially for DD

onzedge 02-13-2012 01:11 PM
Michelin Pilot Super Sports -- excellent all around...

DW's are good, but S04's are better in the wet. i use S04's on my G in the summer. very good, but heavy.

Maybe that's why it doesn't get hydroplaning as easy as the lighter tires.

Good afternoon Mr.kenchan, Mr.onzedge :hello:

hello, mr.alcheng :tup: hahaha, that's funny but no. it's their water channeling technology called Uni-T. very effective. :tup:

ive driven my Z through pouring rain (i mean visibility was very bad) to test my DW's. they did very well, just not as good as S04's.

That's good to know, cos I have to decide which tires to match with the 19 wheels that I ordered, treadwear is also a factor cos the Z is my DD in summer and I drove about 100km(60miles) more or less per day.

BTW, tracking number for the CAI has been issued. YEA!!!! :tup: :tup:
