digeedivaOk, I've taken my mac into the Apple Store for the second time in a week. This time it was for a catastrophic failure. Apparently the graphics card that my mac uses has a defect that Apple issued a service bulletin for. Unfortunately, you won't know if your mac has a defective card until it actually goes south. Well, mine did! And it's not just a simple switch of the card. No, my baby is a MacBook Pro that has the graphics card soldered to the mother board. This "defect" basically makes the mother board toast. OH JOY!!!
So, now, I have no mac for at least a week while it gets sent out for the repair since they do not keep the part in stock. And to add insult to injury, the toasted mother board also toasted the fans that cool said mother board. At this rate, I'll have a new mac without having to buy a new mac with all the stuff that has been replaced so far.
Thank God hubby has a working mac that I have temporarily commandeered.
