Rev’s Thought Dump

Took the MacBook in on Monday and they didn’t even bother playing with it. They pulled up the paper work and scheduled it to go to the “depot” to get the motherboard and heatsinks swapped out.

I’ve heard on line that it’s believed that a wire running next to or over the heatsinks will actually have the insulation melt off of it during extrememly hot times. Then at any point later on the exposed wire can short the whole thing out and cause the shutdown. I suppose that makes sense as I had run it pretty hot for extended times but my shutdowns seemed to occuring randomly and not at times of high use.

Anywho. The guy said 5-7 days and the paperwork said 7-10. *shrug* I just want my MacBook back.

Also, I updated the firmware on my Nano today and noticed that it stutters now while listening to podcasts. Woop. Maybe I should let it finish figuring out the gapless play. Or maybe I should reset the thing. Likely when I get my MacBook back I’ll reset it and format it for Mac.
