I normally have few computer problems, mainly because when I do have them, I fix them immediately. It’s an advantage of being a nerd. The disadvantage is that when they exist, they are terrible.
In few words, my Macbook Pro just went from perfectly fine to not working at all, a few days after installing Snow Leopard. Technically, the screen does not light up at all. Only after certain acts such as running it on Target Disk Mode or removing the battery for more than 15 seconds; and this isn’t even linear, it only happens sometimes. Mind you, I would love not to blame the new Operating System but there are no evidences that it wasn’t the culprit, mainly because the laptop was impeccable before the upgrade.
Luckily I’m not the only one, apparently. Here’s the Apple Forums thread, in which we are still waiting for an Apple reply. And since I can only bring it into an Apple Store next week, I will have to wait a little longer to get a fix on this. Until then, I’m out of laptop.
More will follow.

I have just advised you a few days ago that you should try some others Operating Systems. Remember??
Ok, as you said, I am a little geeky guy ^^
Good luck with that or…back to XP! XD

Well, that new Zürich Apple Store has to be given some work to do, right?
