If they are asking you to do this work, it indicates they either have no idea how to determine the value of computers and computer repairs, or that they are hoping you will 'low-ball' the amount of money involved due to your inexperience. No one needs to certify in blood that something is 'not worth repair' - anyone can see that if a reasonably-derived repair cost exceeds the 'replacement with used' cost, it is not worth the repair.ĭetermining the actual values of these things is all the job of the adjuster working on your case. You may be able to 'buy back' the dead chassis for some amount - they do not know what amount that should be, but dead computers on eBay go for next-to-nothing, if they move at all.

(even if they won't service yours, they should know the price of a comparable repair.) That price will likely be higher than the cost of a used computer, so Insurance will pay you the lower amount, whichever that is, and ask you to turn over your dead chassis to them for savage/scrap (so that you don't take advantage of them). You could ask at your Apple Store for a quote on a comparable motherboard replacement. They will not buy you a new computer to replace a dead used computer. Insurance generally covers the depreciated cost, unless you have unusual coverage (for which you pay an extra premium).
