One More Chance, Mr. Steve Jobs
John Anderson | August 20, 2007Ok, so you all know how much I hate my Macbook. I have done nothing but fight AppleCare since it arrived, and in fact, over the last six months, the unit itself has sat in a storage bin in my closet. When I moved to my new pad, it had upgraded accommodations to a tote in my garage!
Since then, it has been largely ignored, until I realized that I needed a laptop to take with me to our datacenter to roll out our new stealth search product.
So, I’ve made this progress. First, I have ordered a new hard drive. AppleCare has given me nonstop shit about trying to get a new drive, so I decided to buy one on my own… I’d rather spend $100 than sit on the phone with some nerd wannabe for 3 hours working on the holy grail of knowledgebase articles.
Step 2: Replace my own screen. Yes, I have the PDF of the MacBook service manual. It makes it much more difficult than the DIY sites out there.
So, who knows what’ll happen. Please, feel free to place bets with your local bookies.
