1/27 macheads: where is a good place to get mac service in the east bay?
hard drive is not happy and needs restoration. -brain

\_ in the peninsula, there is one in Palo Alto near the Fry's
Electronics there.
\_ I never used it but I think there is one right across the
street from the Apple campus in Cupertino. Ages ago I got
the power supply of a mac replaced at the university's computer
repair service. They may not exist any more. I thought they
were lame.
\_ Elite Computers (the place across the street from
Apple) is one of the most unfriendly and expensive
places I have ever had the misfortune of dealing
with. They are at least 10x worse than ComputerWare
(the place across from the old Fry's on Lawrence
Exp.) You'd be better off sending your Mac to Dell
than to let Elite get their hands on it.
\_ What kind of Mac is it? If its a G3 or newer, your best bet
is the Apple Store (I think that there is one in Emeryville).
Does your Mac still boot? If so, your cheapest option is to
just buy a new HD and do a fresh OS install and copy over
the files you care about. Other things to try might be running
Norton (don't try this on OS X disks) or DiskWarrior. |
