My Poor Macbook
By admin | May 16, 2007
So today I decided it was time to bring my 10 month old Macbook to the Apple doctor. After surviving the previous macbook plagues like discoloring keyboards and random shutdowns, the poor thing has been suffering from a flickering screen since a month and it only seems to get worse. Of course after I logged a call with Apple last week and bringing her in today, the flickering reduced to practicaly non-excistent. I told the repair center to hold on to her for a few days so they can see the problems.
When I was having problems with my ipod it got sent back to me without any repairs done. I had to call support again and could convince them that I really needed it fixed or replaced. By this time the warranty had expired but luckily they agreed to sent me a new iPod.
I am forced now to steal the iBook G4 from my girlfriend to keep posting until I get my Macbook back. Sorry Honey

Never found a solution for the Dirty Mac - so glad I found this tonight, went and got an “eraser” - it DOES great!

Good news for you
In regards to my problem; I really hope they ran out of the old Core Duo logicboards and replace it with a Core 2 Duo!

My brand new MacBookPro is sliding at random thru pages. There seems to be a problem with the keys and touchpad. Maybe the latter are due to lack of use.
Thanks for visiting, Bob. While Universo Anárquico is gaining visibility, Anarchic_Universe is still flying under the radar.
