I love this site but am intimidated by the repair guide I found for my problem (broken magsafe port). The mac store says they are not authorized to do this repair and I have to buy a new computer. But the guide makes it look quite doable. How do I find a skilled, dependable repair person who is not beholden to Apple? I tried searching “unauthorized mac repair” and didn’t come up with much.

I’m not authorized. Where do you live? Can you post a photo? Is the case cracked?Maybe we can hold your hand. It’s hardly worth the cost of shipping it off.
