Where to fix vintage macbook pro

[alextheong]

i have a vintage macbook pro. almost 7 years already.
recently only just died. apple service centres say too old, cannot get parts.

is there anywhere else i can go? or really can just throw away?

if your product falls under the 'Obsolete' category as listed at Vintage and obsolete products, it means there are no more parts inventory or parts being manufactured for it.. repair will not be possible.

SLS has a lot of mac repair shops.

Just be wary that the parts they will be using is most likely used or new(old stocks)

Don't bother bringing in to an AASP, they're going to charge you a lot for the service anyways because it's OOW.

If you're the adventurous, DIY it yourself.

https://www.ifixit.com/ has very detailed guides on how to repairs your own machines.

You can buy the parts from them or anywhere online like ebay.

I'm more of the adventurous kind so I don't know exactly which mac repair shop to recommend you. You can ask around SLS, i think there's a couple of them in the upper floors(4th or 5th floor).
