Apple MacBook Woes
When I first bought my MacBook I thought it was the greatest thing since a slice of bread. It stayed that way for about 1 to 1.5 months and then it all started…
First I noticed that my RAM slot was loose and the little “pull switch” was stuck and didn’t function correctly. Then it wouldn’t allow me to use Apple+Tab (application switching) when I woke the computer up from sleep. I thought this might just be something that was only happening to me, but after checking in with a couple co-workers, it wasn’t just me. Then came the random shutdowns. While working on various things and with various/random applications my computer would just shutdown. Again, I thought it was just a one time thing, NOPE. It’s happened to me 20+ time, sometimes while working on important files…after checking the Apple Discussion Boards I wasn’t the only one this was all happening too. After 2 weeks of so of all this happening I finally decided enough was enough and got my logic board replaced.
Thought that fixed it?? NO! That made it even worse, now I cannot run the MacBook without the AC cable plugged into the computer. If it becomes unplugged the MacBook will shutdown. I have another logic board on its way from Apple so I am hopeing that will fix the issue.
This is a MacBook 2.0GHz, 2GBs RAM, 80GB HDD, in black, so is anyone else out there having troubles like these?? Leave me some comments and let me know…this is really getting annoying…
Update: Well I just listened to one of the latest episodes of
Diggnation and Kevin Rose was talking about how much trouble he was having with his MacBook Pro, not only that but my co-worker is also experiencing the random shutdowns. I’ve also continued to read the Apple Discussion Boards and more and more people are getting the little “X” through the battery icon in the menu bar…I’m really not a happy camper right now and I need to have something for when school starts on the 23rd of this month…which by my calculations is pretty damn soon.
I might have to ebay this machine as-is or something because I have no idea on a ship-date for my logic board from Apple and this is totally un-acceptable…
