I was about to say the same thing. Its not a $2400 laptop.

His only choice is go to ebay / amazon. A laptop 7 years old it is a miracle that laptop lasted that long. at $200, apple rep is right, its best to put that $ into a new or slightly used laptop.

I do not get these posts that say things like this on a laptop that has done its duty for 7 years. Even HP / Dell / Lenovo enterprise will not have the parts for this.

It's not a miracle, it's why Apple hardware has high second hand value. Got a 2012 Macbook Pro here still doing great. As it should be.
