QUOTE(neo_lam @ Sep 13 2019, 12:08 AM) guys recently I faced a troublesome issue from this MacBook Pro 2018.... Greed Machine. A touch ID faulty need to change a new logicboard? RM4000?????????????????last month I found out the battery is swollen so I decided to send in and fix....I paid rm850 to replace the battery and the keyboard... last 2 weeks I got it back but found out Touch ID is broken, can't register my fingerprint or remove anything...I send to Machine again and they charge me RM4000 to replace the logic board and stuffs.... this is so speechless and I am very disappointed they charge me on the part that is broken due to their first repair...anyone here got experience with this and how should I deal with it? Personal experience from 2011 15"mbp with graphic card faulty designed. Class action taken in US and got my logicboard free replacement. 2014 15"mbp Screen staingate issue. Have my screen free replacement at Mid Valley after apple recall. Not from my experience 2015-2019 Butterfly Keyboard faulty designed 2015-2017 mbp battery bloated recall issue Seriously buying a functional MBP for years need some luck. TBH it's good to see apple made those recall to have free replacement for the parts. That's the credit. But when your computer/device is not the list you will like fuck up whole time. Advise? send to third party and have a quote see. |

QUOTE(limkj @ Sep 13 2019, 08:03 AM) This is ridiculous. You should have called apple and talked to them and explain them the problem. From what I know if your battery is swollen and it’s not more than 2 years and your battery cycle count is less than 500 it’s not normal and apple would have replaced it for free. Especially the battery issue are trending lately.Some of the MBP are even banned to checked in https://www.lowyat.net/2019/193170/malaysia...-battery-issue/ They should fix it for no cost from my opinion. |

QUOTE(neo_lam @ Sep 13 2019, 04:17 PM) Now I felt stupid on paying battery replacement....should directly go for Apple instead of Machine..... Not sure about malaysia as we dont have apple stores, and your paid to the retailer.Anyway on the Touch ID issues, I called Machine customer service and they just gave me blah blah and need me to email their tech team or what... So I decided go directly to Apple...and god damn even the tone and way they talked to me is so different....they can feel my irritation and got all my service report from Machine...Apple will have a detailed discussion with them... I wonder can Apple affect Machine on waiving such charges on the fix? If they really can I swear next time will go report to Apple first instead of local service centre. I know there's cases people got their repair fund back when the there's a recall. All you can do now is contact Apple and ask for advises. |

QUOTE(Zaryl @ Sep 13 2019, 05:06 PM) just wondering, is Machines or Switch is the official Apple stores here in Malaysia? We dont have official stores in Malaysia. Only Authorized stores.example, if let say i buy my MBP via Apple online store. then later got problem, i can bring it to either Machines or Switch shops right? I brought mbp from apple website. I went both before, they okay with that. I think the reason they take is because they can earn your money mah. Sure accept one. This post has been edited by submergedx: Sep 13 2019, 05:16 PM |

rMBP are stainless steel made. You can use any liquid to wipe but use dont very toxic one la. I cleaned it regularly when it has fingerprint on screen or dirt on the surface, my daily rMBP 6 years of using looks like 95% new.

You dont need any cover or sticker or keyboard protector or screen protector to maintain it. It just looks perfectly fine.

QUOTE(holoman @ Nov 4 2019, 10:13 AM) Hi guys , Rm5,499 MBP 13' 1.4GHz / 8GB / 128GB / Touch Bar & Touch ID This model suitable for editting or not ? AI/PS My experience told me a large PS file would go up from 100mb to 500mb, professional touch up would more than that. A year of archive would easily max out the storage. Processor doesnt perform much in AI/PS. The hard disk it will come with atleast 1000 MB/s read/write and it cannot upgrade in the future. Upgrade to 256GB and it will be fine for the spec. |
