QUOTE(MetalZone @ Jul 21 2009, 12:23 AM) ouch... it's really almost 300 bucks for a 60W power adaptor. I hope mine holds up. i plugged in to the power point and the adapter (white box thing) feels warm but it's not charging!Apparently a bulk of the problems happen at where the wire connects to the magnetic connector. I remember reading somewhere that apple have fixed this FOC in some cases. Are you sure yours failed right at the power adaptor itself and not the cable? My friend found adapter at RM200 selling over at lelong.com.my. But i have doubts... |

QUOTE(lilko @ Jul 21 2009, 12:04 AM) Erm.. if you are not in a hurry then better wait till September for the new sleek OS. No nid to pay extra. Actually if you buy a brand new Mac today, you are entitled to free upgrade to Snow Leopard when it launches. Anyway it's gonna be USD29 only - that's 10 times cheaper than Windows 7 Added on July 21, 2009, 1:47 pm QUOTE(pooiyee @ Jul 20 2009, 09:48 PM) Hi last night i was using my macbook with my power adapter on like usual. Suddenly i realized that the end of the charger doesnt have the usual orange/green light anymore. I think it's a faulty adapter now. Anyone faced similar problems? What should i do? Mine does have the same problem once a while, even though it's less than 6 months old. Sometimes a bad connection to the lappie is the issue. Did u trying to clean the connectors on both end? Even with the lights not lit, can you see from the OS whether it's charging?Added on July 21, 2009, 1:52 pmSome update on the Snow Leopard question. "All users who purchased or will purchase a new qualifying Mac between 8 June 2009 and 26 December 2009 will receive a free upgrade package and pay $9.95 for shipping and handling. You must request your up-to-date upgrade within 90 days of your original purchase." http://www.tuaw.com/2009/06/08/apple-to-re...e-in-september/ This post has been edited by johnliew: Jul 21 2009, 01:52 PM |

Received a quote from Apple service center regarding my problem on keyboard/trackpad hang after getting warm. Problem with the logic board and the repair cost RM2450 (including labor charge)... (Warranty period expired)
Called Apple Care toll free and ask for help... Wow, all I can say is very very good customer service !!! Listened to my problem then told me to cool down and he'll see what he can do to help me. Later received a call from Apple service center informing me that Apple will take care of all the cost and I don't have to pay anything. Absolutely nothing!!! Even after warranty period. The conversation with Apple Care Hotline operator ended with him telling me that he hope I'll be a happy mac user in future. Indeed I'm very happy with Apple. |

QUOTE(nimrod323 @ Jul 20 2009, 03:00 PM) Doesn't really matter either way. The MBA users and their devices have been "orphaned" since the first iteration anyway, so the "pain of segregation" has dulled to a numb throbbing wound anyway. The MBA caters to niche market, to an already niche subsets of Apple products, so the MBA users have learned to be independent and solve and troubleshoot our problems on our own without much whining, .....well, that holds true to me at least. Hey, if this is an attempt to unify every portable Mac discussion under one roof, then great! Sure it's "water under the bridge" and all, but we also remember how "orphaned" we've become and treated around here. *shrugs* This post has been edited by stringfellow: Jul 21 2009, 04:11 PM |

About the power adapter problem, if it doesn't charge sometimes due to the cues problem, you home unstable current cost that. Change the fuse yourself, it's rm0.50

I need a favour from those MBP 15" unibody (built in non removable battery with dual graphic card) users.
Please set ENERGY SAVER (in SETTINGS) to HIGHER PERFORMANCE. Run on battery. Do a screen grab by pressing SHIFT + COMMAND + 3. Please let me know if you noticed any lag or system freeze after the screen grab shortcut key is press. Thanks a bunch!! |
