Mac pro power supply removal windows#
I have been using Apple computers and the OS since 1990 (SE/30) and wouldn't switch now, but I do not enjoy getting hosed for the parts at three or four times the price of a comparable part for a windows box, particularly as I retired and am on a limited budget now. chances are they won't but you never know. You will need to lug it in and have an appointment but there is a small chance they might fix it for free. when i swapped a display cable on my ibook, i found prices from about $15 to over $200, for just a cable. Since this is not under warrantee and since I am paying for the part, I don't see why Apple would be so restrictive. The whole point would be for me to ensure that they do have the part in stock when I bring it in. My beef is that they are unwilling to tell me if they have the part in stock unless I bring my machine in AND have an appointment with Genius. It will probably be overnight if they have the part in stock, possibly even same day if you get there early enough. Those things are not cheap, and the price varies a lot. Would have prefered to spend the money at AAPL since I knew I'd be getting genuine parts and a tiny portion of a penny would come back to me through AAPL share price increase :-) I used Mr Google and indeed, it seems to be available from 3rd parties. You can get disk drives, memory from them, I would have thought a power supply would have been available too. there are also places on line to order whatever part you need. Official apple stores won't let you buy parts but some (not all) apple dealers will.

I am not willing to leave my machine for weeks at the apple store.

(the whole design of the Mac pro is to enable such easy swapping).Īppple Care ( I don't have that machine on apple care) suggested I go to an authorized service/sales 3rd party to order the part.Īnyone have any experience on this ? Is there truly no way to order the part from Apple anymore ? Ideally, if I must bring the whole machine in, I want to do it when I know they have the part in stock so they can just swap it right there. The local Apple store won't give me the time of day, they say that I have to bring the whole unit in with an appointment with genius bar before they decide to check to see if they have the part in stock. Have now spent 2 hours on the phone with various apple departments to find a way to order the power supply. (it would click, lights in room dim a bit and about 3 secodns later, click "off". It took over an hour of trying after a power failure before it powered the machine on.
