I had a bad experience with Brickfence, too. My 2011 17" Macbook Pro went dark, no video. I found Brickfence on eBay and sent the unit on January 18th. He assured me he could repair my machine without replacing the logic board. I paid $194.95 up front. After two months I still had not heard anything about a repair status and filed an eBay claim after trying in vain to get a response from Brickfence. Then he sent a nasty message that no repairs would be done unless I closed my eBay case, which I did. Then he sent a message saying I needed a new logic board and it would be an additional $250. On April 5th he said he had repaired the computer and shipped it. I didn’t receive the unit back until April 16th. As soon as I unpacked it, I turned it on and it wouldn’t boot at all, black screen, same as it was 3 months before before it was “repaired.” I am in the process of trying to resolve this through Paypal and my credit card company.
Not sure which Unibody model is pictured, but my Late 2011 17” looks entirely different from this one.
Is there a DIY on replacing the rubber feet?
