Well, actually $50 is not bad for a service call. Hope they can restore your mini to good health. Please let us know what happens.

| Problem solved. Tech called and had to replace the logic board. The thing is a bunch of people in my area had the same kinds of problems. Moral...unplug during lightning storms. Surge protectors are not infallible. |

So Apple replaced it for you? Did they charge you or did they cover it?

Onetime fee? So if anything fries your Mini again you don't need to pay again?

I was going to say, that would be awesome if you only had to pay $50 for all future repairs,  .
