It depends on your MacBook Pro. If it’s an older one and you have a DVI port, you’ll probably need a DVI-VGA cable. If it’s a newer one with Mini DisplayPort, you’ll need Mini DisplayPort to VGA.

Take a look at my post on backing up your Mac :)

Unless you’ve been tearing apart MacBooks for years, it’s not a repair you want to attempt yourself. You want someone who can strip a MacBook to the frame with their eyes closed.

If you take it to the Apple Store, they’ll likely do it in-house. This used to be something that we sent out however most repairs these days occur at the store itself. I don’t know about turn around, but if I had to guess, I’d say they’d quote you a week.

Make sure you make a reservation before you go as the Bar can get hopping.

If you take it to an authorized repair center, they’ll likely also do it at the store. If you’re out of warranty, you may get a better price from the non-Apple repair shop as all of Apple’s out of warranty repairs are flat-rate.

Good. Reliable. Cheap.

Pick two :) However, picking ‘reliable’ and ‘cheap’ is a null set.

‘Cheap’ and ‘ok’: This one from OWC.

‘Bullet proof’ and ‘more expensive’: This one from OWC.
