MacBook Pro Issues
So, my MacBook Pro was dropped off at Apple support late monday night, and has been shipped out by them to get fixed.
I was having issues when while it was charging, and I was using it that I would get shocked really bad every so often. After some checking, I found out there was a grounding fault, and that every so often it would pump a full 120 volts through the case itself rather than back out to the power brick. Also, my screen would every so often flicker off and back on. Sometimes every hour, and other times it would not do it for days.
My power supply also when charging, I would know a shock was coming because the little LED in the power adapter would stop glowing orange/green and instead would go out entirely (still charging the battery though).
The genius was awesome, he immediatly shipped it off to the apple repair center, and told me that he would do that for me since I knew one of the ex-apple employees there. So I got rush shipped :P. He said it was easier than ordering parts and hoping it would fix the issue, so I should hopefully be getting a laptop with new guts in it!
That being said, since I am without my MacBook Pro I have been feeling rather naked, like I am missing my phone, or left it at home. So in feeling of desperation and eye-candy, I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on an old P4 with 1 GB of ram. Please don't shoot me!
