Well, a lot of your question are answered by simple google:
http://www.on-linetechnologies.com/directResponseTerms.php#r

Let's say you buy a car and the engine said can go 100km/hr. But yours only goes 50km/hr or less. Will you wait for you car died only send to claim or claim immediately without wait is entirely up to you. But my young nephew can tell me the answer without posting on forum.

My 15" macbook pro is out of warranty and my charger stopped functioning anymore, and it was confirmed that it is the charger that is broken. I went to Machines and they said that the repair would cost the same as buying a new one which is at RM319 in which that i can't afford that. So my options are

-buy a second hand/cheaper charger which i have no idea where to find

-repair the charger, but i also don't know where to send it to because it's Mac.

so if you guys could offer me tips or any help it would be appreciated, thanks.

hi there.
My MacBook Pro 17" got flushed with water and my circuit board got fried.
I think probably to change the motherboard should do rite.
Any recommendation where can i fix it or roughly how much is the replacement for the parts?

Hye all mac sifus and fans..

I own a macbook 13" wif Intel C2D in it..

I've used it very lightly until recently i increase the usage to that laptop because i have to do some photoshop work with it..

but to my surprise.. the battery pack spoils very fast eventhough the battery pack is expansive(about Rm600 if im not mistaken)..

believe it or not i've got my battery replaced 3 times already since i bought it on december 2007 and lucky me it is still in warranty..

just now i was leaving my macbook on while i went out and fetch something and when i return and check on it i cant see a light(usualy green or red) on the charger's head..all of a sudden my charger fails to work and i dont even know if the port on my macbook or the charger itself spoiled..

i know if i send it to mac service centers it would cost me a fortune and a long time to get it fixed..

so i would like to ask all the mac sifus and fans out there if its possible to check if its the charger's fault or the port's fault myself..

and also which service centers would you prefer to send your mac to?(coz there are so many authorised resellers and service centeres)

if it is possible pls tell me if i can get any 2nd hand charger in lowyat as well..

thanks a million..

*edit*
just checked the prices..

RM319 for a god damn charger.. ~___~
RM559 for a battery pack

now im afraid that if i buy one it wont last long and i have to buy another one..

I've just posted a topic on battery & charger. You might want to check that.
To your question it's easy, you can bring your mac and charger to any nearby Apple Reseller. Ask to use their charger there, if your MacBook charging fine with the charger there. Means your MacBook is fine, only the charger is faulty.

Sometime it's luck that some owner bought a defective unit. Sometime it's also the user's using habit that cause damage to the unit/ causing parts dying fast. We have many client, most of them are happy Mac-er.

But there are no 100% for everything in real life, if you think Apple doesn't fit to earn your money, you should rethink about what to buy next. There are a lot of buyer in the forum alone if you don't want to keep your MacBook.

1. You can set your app to remember your login info and auto connect when Internet available.
2. Keep your mac awake.

Mac OSX are designed to disconnect all connected device and network when goes to sleep.

Dear All,

Just wondering anybody know how to format an iBook G4? I was helping my friend to format his iBook without original CD. I've downloaded Mac OS 10.3 Panther, 4 CD's.
My problem is when I turn it ON, press C while it booting up, apple logo shows up, and I can hear the CD spinning, but after a long wait, nothing happen, only apple logo appears..

Can anybody help me on this...
Thanks in Advance...

How do you burn the CDs?
Why not just use 10.4 instead?

Hi,

I was using Nero to burn. The iBook original come with Mac OX 10.3 Panther.
Do you know where to download the 10.4?

Thanks.

Do not ask for warez here.
You should burn the disc from Mac.
