[brod(d)ers]

G'day,

I'm just interested to find out from those who have had to repair their pb/mbp's what they got done, and how much it cost. It's bloody hard to find out what the cost of a repair is, so I'm hoping to basically make an informative thread for those looking at getting something repaired!

Cheers,

Sam
