| Just this morning my GF's macbook suddenly started experienced the random shut-off issue. Thankfully apple recognized it and I even got the notice this past week of the revised logic board/heat sink combo to fix it...so straight to the apple store we went. No genius bar wait (Despite several names listed and an hour wait on the screen? There wasn't many people in the store...I think they are fake!), he didn't even try to verify it thankfully (as it was certainly cooled off by then) and I'm sure well have it back in a week. I was hoping to have a battle with the "geniuses," which in my experience are anything but. It kills me that I am locked from entering any different shipping or billing info but work, so I can't do my own repairs or get parts.
(Hmm..come to think of it, apple no longer charges the $600 fee to be a service center, so maybe I can create one at home and link my account?) |
