¿ªÔÆÌåÓýVincent, yes, if they have the part, they will offer a flat rate price for a ¡°remove and replace¡± type repair. I believe the OP¡¯s issue is her SSD needs to be replaced with a larger one. Only I believe her drive is not a unit, but chips soldered to the circuitboard. Apple doesn¡¯t do soldering of components. They only ?replace discrete units, but they won¡¯t replace a resistor on a circuitboard. That is why, to replace a bad port, they will replace a motherboard at several hundred dollars.?There were warnings, there was no upgrade path. It is possible she can but a motherboard with a larger Flash Drive, from a company like IFixIt, but if used, in what condition. She¡¯d be better off with a new external drive.? But again, I don¡¯t have the specific knowledge.? My early 2008 MBP, Apple considers as obsolete. I recently scheduled a Genius Bar appointment. It has what I suspected were hardware and software issues. I could not get it to go into Safe Mode or Diagnostic Mode. They used to have an external drive that held the various diagnostic programs. They have moved them to a server, only they apparently removed the diagnostics from the server in the store and online for obsolete devices. That apparently why I could not start onto those modes.? I asked If I could get the installers for 10.8 to 10.11, to upgrade it to the highest OS it could run. They have been removed from the servers, too. I was told to try and find someone on line, like on ebay to buy it from. ? On my iPhone Xr On Dec 6, 2023, at 10:36, Vince Winterling <vincentwinterling@...> wrote:
