Sure enough, they didn't call me by the end of the business day, so I called them. They found one of the screws wasn't set right, and it's a known problem from the factory, so they ordered a new bottom case from Apple. Estimated shipment is tomorrow, so I guess we'll see. Maybe I'll have a new MacBook from them in parts. *sigh*
Apple: June 2007 Archives
I forgot to mention, my MacBook went into the hands of Apple for the, uh, fourth time on Thursday, due to random kernel panics and kernel_task going insane once in a while. After arguing with the genius on what kernel_task actually does, they agreed to take it and run 'diagnostics' on it at the local store. They said it would be about three days.
So, here we are, four days later. I give them a call and ask to see what the status was. They weren't sure, really. I had reinstalled the OS, but evidently they did it again to no avail. They're going to put in a new logic board tonight to see if that helps, and give me a call tomorrow with some kind of status update. Maybe. If they get a chance to do the logic board replacement tonight.
I keep telling myself that I really like Macs. I kinda wish they'd just give me a credit for a different one, because honestly, it seems MacBooks don't like me at all.
