Genius Bar says it'll cost $1200 to fix MacBook. Third-party repairman replaces worn $35 cable

That’s pretty much the de facto " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" response when they don’t know what’s going on but it’s obviously hardware related so I’m not at all surprised. The Genius Bar and other services like it operate on throughput - not on in-depth troubleshooting.
