There are certainly some honest repairers out there. Alas there are also
some dishonest ones. And there seem to be more of the latter. I've seen
repair invoices lisitng work that can't possibly have been done.
This is one reason I try to fix everything myself. At least I can't be
cheated that way
In my case, I shouldn't have been so impatient. If I'd thought about
it slowly, I didn't need much of the old data right away. In theory
I could've shopped around more, spent time calling places to ask about
what they could do for me, sent the drive out a few times... but my
time is money, too.
Since you were pretty sure it was the NVRAM chip, why didn't you try
chaning it yourself? You didn't have anythign to lose by doind that.
