Rick Nielsen (left) stopped by the OWC office where\u00a0OWC Jamie (right) helped with an issue with his MacBook Pro<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rock Stars don\u2019t always stop by OWC headquarters in Woodstock, Ill. But when they do, they get help with their MacBook Pro repairs.<\/p>\n

Rick Nielsen, long time customer and friend of OWC, dropped in on our office today for some help with his Mac troubles. As you may already know, Nielsen is the lead guitarist and backing vocalist for the band Cheap Trick and has long used OWC solutions<\/a> as part of his recording toolset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On this particular visit, OWC Jamie helped Nielsen replace the Airport Card on his 2008 MacBook Pro. The card had failed his MacBook Pro with crucial data on it after he returned from a show in Australia.<\/p>\n
