My Problem

First time on this site, which was recommended to me by Isreal my usual tech in Ibiza. As i´m now living in Mallorca I´m alone with my mac, as a dj and producer, shes kinda important and chose not to switch on as i was preparing to play out. not cool. ended up improvising with another dj´s set up and my music. anyway, bought a second hand one so i could continue to play and now have a dead mac that has all my dj/production software (no cracked versions) and my only saving grace apparently is i have a samsung ssd in there that should have all my $@$* safe. I was contemplating taking my mac to a repair show here but no as a half jamaican/english dj living here i am going to get fleeced, so reading this precise step by step explanation of how i could possibly do it myself with your guidance and save a few euros is amazing. I look forward to letting you know how i get on. thanks again. craig
