Heya guys, just a want to get some of your opinions. I've got a MacBook Air (a1369) 2010model and the screen died on me. Do you guys thinks it's worth replacing the screen (rough estimate below 1k)

Also a mbp 2009 where I broke one of the fan connector pins on the main board. Now the fan runs permanently at max speed. Can it be fixed? A simple soldering job perhaps?

Appreciate the inputs.

If the repair costs are more than half the price of a new unit, just like the forumer before me have mentioned, just get a brand new unit.
