![]() ![]() Jason’s current Macbook Pro also has a variety of issues and he ordered a new one just to be sure he wasn’t left stranded. So please share your successful run of Apple machines that have been able to last 3-4 years without breaking down. But it has happened enough times that it seems statistically unlikely. Or if I, and many people I know, have just been incredibly unlucky with Apple gear. ![]() Luckily, I also just got myself a new MBP (and the dual-DVI cable is supposed to arrive tomorrow!). Mary’s fairly new Macbook air is making weird noises occasionally. One of my Macbook pros that my brother is using lost its firewire ports and its DVD drive (it’s just 2 years old). Three of my older laptops have had their hard drives fail (with painful data loss in one instance). ![]() My old G4 iMac had it’s DVD drive fail on it after two years. I often donate older machines to family, so I get to hear about how they do 2-3-4 years into the process. This incident made me think about all the Macs I’ve had for the past few years and how they’ve all failed in various ways. When the software fixes don’t work (and they didn’t), the solution is to change the logic board. Apparently, it’s a known issue relating to the 1.5/1.5.1 firmware update. My Macbook Pro 2.2 just decided to kill the display and all I get is blank on boot.
