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.
Java 1.6 no Leopard, versão não alpha, não beta, não RC. Mas apenas para 64bit! Tudo a seu tempo claro. Ver no blog do Nuno.
Até hoje tenho usado um port alternativo de Java 1.6 muito engraçado, que nunca me deu problemas, chamado Soylatte. E cheira-me que o vou mandar ao meu lado, pelos próximos tempos…
Well, I just got my laptop stolen.
It’s an Apple Macbook Pro 15″ and was taken from my car which was left untouched.
Along with other resources, I called Apple Portugal to notify the theft because I heard that if the laptop eventually went for some technical repairs in an Apple Store they could snatch it. They kindly told me that they hadn’t any mechanism of this sort and that I should notify every Apple retailer in the country. Well, thanks a lot.
Here’s its serial number: W874325YXAG. It isn’t much, but what harm can it do?
I’d like to think that this is some sort of a lesson to learn, although I doubt it very much.
Happy New Year.
