Long story short, I accidentally spilled beer about 6 months ago on my roommate's TiBook. It blew out the inverter board, and the screen was not readable. I took it to a shop in Boston and they replaced the board for some cost, forgot what it was.

My roommate just emailed me and said his keyboard and CD-ROM / DVD player were not working either, and needed to get them repaired as well. He sent me this email:

"I received my invoice recently from
TekServe, the shop where I got my computer repaired. I had to get the keyboard
and CD/DVD player replaced. They were $72 and $239 respectively. Labor and
shipping costs contributed another $20, making the total cost $331. I was
hoping that you could reimburse me for these repairs."

Do these repairs sound accurate? I know the problems existed, just wanted to know if the prices were about right, I do not want to be taken advantage of (ie paying for an upgrade to CD-RW or something). Thanks!

BTW, I know I am at fault for spilling beer on the PowerBook. No lectures please

Sounds about right.

In fact, I think you got off cheap on labor and the cost of the keyboard.

Keyboards are usually a hundred, the drive is priced right, if not a little lower than I expect, and the labor didn't include a bench fee.

Tekserve is charging you CONSIDERABLY LESS than what Apple would be.

Keyboard: $199

DVD-Rom drive + installation: $399

You're getting off cheap, Bub.

Just hope it was a good beer you spilled on the system...sounds like it was an expen$ive one!

(Like Warsteiner!)

Alright thanks guys. Just wasnt sure about the repair costs, but will pay them no problem.

Unfortunately, the beer was Miller Lite... Hey, it was for a drinking game!
