Isn't that a good deal?
Lol, no. A good majority of the time the issue is something simple like a loose or broken ribbon cable that would cost $3 in parts and $50 in labour (if you're being generous with the time).
This practice of the "Genus" bar people telling a customer that they need a whole board replacement that would cost $2000 and saying it's cheaper to get a whole new computer is well documented.
