Apple Begins Fixing MacBook Pro Issues

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the help-on-the-way dept.

Hack Jandy writes "For those of you who bought one of the first generation Macbook Pros, a new replacement may be in your future. Flickering LCDs, overheating and intermittent WiFi connections are all common place for many of these first generation machines, but apparently Apple is fixing the problem. The article claims 'According to Apple, it has begun replacing the mainboard inside its MacBook Pros with a new revision. It calls the updated product "revision D," which is identifiable by product serial number.' If you have a reservation at an Apple Store, they may even replace your MBP with a new one."

    This story is bullshit. Most week 12 machines still have the problem. It is NOT fixed yet.

    No, most other companies would have done enough testing to get the glaring bugs worked out before a gigantic release such as this. I'm not saying Apple doesn't have good service, but let's tell it like it is.
