Well I got mine back today too. I had a bad left latch, fixed. I had the whine, still present and not as load. Will run for a day or two without letting it sleep to see if it gets loader or if it goes away.
They replaced your thermal sensor.
They also replaced your logic board, you should have no serial number in your "About This Mac" "More Info". It will read SystemSeumb, for the serial number.
BUT! I sent it in with 2 GB RAM and it cam back with 1.5!!!!
I am ******! I have two matched sticks of Lifetime Memory Prodocts RAM and got back one of my original sticks and one of Apple's 512MB Sticks!
They are going to send me a replacement Apple Stick that I will sell and replace it with the originaly purchased RAM, with a liftime warranty. They said they would warrant the RAM for life under my Serial Number.
Should I keep their stick of RAM?
They won't replace any third party RAM even though they LOST IT!
This is the 2nd time it's gone in.
This is the worst experience I have had with Apple since I purchased my Blue and White. I own all Mac Products and spend big $$$ with them.

  • I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    Hello deneye2112,
    Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing.  I found some resources that I think might help:
    First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If you are still having trouble with burning after that step, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:
    Disc Burning Quick Assist

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • Got my Mac back from Apple Repair... now TimeMachine is messed up!

    I'm hoping this is something "routine" and some of you smart folks can help me out.
    I recently had to send my MacBook Pro to Apple Care for repair (a whole other story! The LCD died...), when I got it back I noticed a couple of strange things:
    1. my iTunes told me I had to authorize my "new" computer (no problem. I can deal with this, it doesn't impact my work. It's just a bit odd.)
    2. my Time Machine backups stopped working. (This is a much bigger problem, since now I'm working without backups).
    Here's the situation:
    Time Machine preferences shows me my regular backup destination drive (it's called "total-backup" by the way, and it's a big ol' Firewire drive.)
    It says "Oldest Backup: --".. as in NO oldest backup. But when I look at the drive out in the finder, there's a folder there sure enough named "Backups.backupdb" which takes up many GB.
    That folder now contains two subfolders:
    - one is called "My Computer" , which itself contains many folders named with dates. This appears to be my old backups folder.
    - the other is called "My Computer 2" and it contains only an odd 8 KB thing named "2008-04-26-182146.inProgress" which contains the date I got my computer back! (And also shows you how long I've been working without backup!)
    Here are my two questions:
    - How do I point Time Machine to the correct backup set?
    - And is it okay for me to just manually delete that "My Computer 2" folder off the backup drive?

    In all likelihood, your logic board was replaced during the repair. There's a MAC address (Media Access Control) embedded in every networkable device that gives a unique ID to every device; the Mac's MAC (name similarity only coincidental) address is on the logic board.
    iTunes authorization is keyed to the MAC address; so are your Time Machine backup files.
    You can't change the MAC address, since it's hardware, but you can change the record of the MAC address in the Time Machine files so they'll be recognized by what it thinks is a new computer. It take Terminal (and guts).. the info is here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
    I don't think that article says to back up your Time Machine files before you start mucking about with them, but that might be a good idea. You may have room for a zipped duplicate right on the backup drive, so that'd be a good thing to do first.

  • Just got my MacBook back from 2nd repair

    I just got my MacBook back today. It just had its 2nd logic board replacement because of the random shutdown issue.
    When I picked up my computer, they also replaced the Top Case Housing and the Keyboard. Why would the replace this? Does the keyboard and top housing have anything to do with the random shutdown?
    Anyways, I will see if my random shutdown comes back. I surely hope not.

    Oh ok. I noticed the feel of it is a bit different
    than before.
    Another question. I have CoreDuoTemp opened, my
    computer has been on for 30mins and it only shows
    22-27C. Is this correct? Or is CoreDuoTemp
    malfunctioning?
    At 30mins, my MacBook was at least at 45C always.
    It's an Intel processor design fault. I got this info from the Hardware Monitor developer.
    Q: I have a Mac with an Intel Core Solo or Core Duo processor.
    Sometimes, the temperature readings seems to "hang" and are no longer
    being refreshed. Is this a problem with the application?
    A: No, this problem is caused by an internal design flaw of current
    versions of Intel Core processors. The Digital Thermal Sensors may
    stop working when the processor returns from a C3/C4 power saving
    state. Intel plans to correct this hardware bug for future steppings
    of the CPU.
    Intel refers to this hardware problem as Erratum AE18. For detailed
    information, please see Intel document 30922204

  • I got my MBP back from AppleCare, LCD whine fixed!

    Hello, I just got my computer back from AppleCare to get the screen whine repaired. It quiet as ever and I'm very happy. I've had no issues with CPU whine, ever.
    -Jacob

    Congrads! It's always nice to hear something positive from Apple. They don't have time to do it right the first time but they have plenty of time to it over again. Either way, its stories such as yours that keeps me from canceling my MBP order which scheduled for 30 March shipment. If it takes longer I will be happy to wait. Reason: I'm praying for a serial number: W8610xxx or grater, meaning manufacturing date of: "86" = 2006 / "10>" meaning week ten or greater in the production cycle. I would be even happier if shows week "11" or "12" in the suffix since Apple has identified units with serial numbers of: W869xx… or below that are more susceptible of having a defective “inverter” w/noise that emits from the upper right corner of the keyboard. This valuable information comes from another Discussion Member who got lucky with an honest and knowledgeable tech support dude at Apple.

  • Just got my MBP back with a new logic board but...

    Hello all
    I just got my laptop back yesterday. They did the logic replacement due to a bad graphics card (nvidia) I was not under warranty. I was having the Videocontroller error on the AHT. I just ran the AHT today via the apple disc. It came up with 4SNS/1/40000000:TGOD-86.500. I also noticed my superdrive does not accept blank disc media, it spits them out after a few seconds in. It still install and read programs off it. Burning discs is just the issue. I posted that issue here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12410595#12410595 But prior to the new logic board, it recognized the discs as "blank"
    Please any help would be appreciated.
    Marc

    I had an issue whereby only certain DVDs were usable.....some were, and some weren't.
    My MBP went in for repair and the SuperDrive was replaced under my AppleCare extended warranty.
    You'll likely need your SuperDrive replaced.
    If I didn't have Applecare, I'd be up Shyte Creek by now with some very costly repairs on my September '08 MBP.
    BTW, My MBP had two logic board failures in its second year of ownership which were replaced under my AppleCare warranty.

  • Got my G5 back from the apple specialist (A Fixed Logicboard?)

    So Just got my g5 back from the apple repair place. The computer had a problem with its logicboard, just spent a sh%t load on getting that repaired...
    So bring it home, update the latest mac software, as i was burning a scratched cd-r, it stopped and said some kinda mac error, (probably something like the cd is unreadable, which makes sense) right then is when it froze... not even a force quit could save it. Restarted it no problem... played a game, an hour or two later, out of nowhere it did another ultimate freeze... Restarted it, now its not even loading, just still on the apple logo. This is what happend when the apple genius guys did a diagnostic on it originally before getting the new logicboard...
    So first thing I will talk with the repair place see why its doing this again... But what do you think it is? Another bad Logicboard? I know its not a HD problem, but it might be a processor, right?
    What do all of you guys think?
    Thanks soooo much for your time!

    If what you are seeing is a boot that only goes as far as the Apple logo, but never starts the spinning gear, then you've got what I had this last weekend...
    What's happening in the sequence is BootX has checked the basics of your hardware and found things working by its quick test. It's not exhaustive, but it's not trivial either.
    Then BootX transfers control to the boot code on the disk (I believe in a fixed location on the disk). That puts the Apple logo on the screen.
    Then it starts to load drivers, and puts the spinning gear up.
    If you never see the spinning gear, I would strongly suspect you have a boot disk problem. Likely the logical structure of the volume has a problem; possibly there are also surface problems on the disk itself.
    Try starting up while holding the "Option" key down, this should give you a choice of drives to boot from. If you have the APP or Tech Tool disk, that's a good one to put in the CD drawer. Try a disk test from inside there, or if you don't have those, use the OS X install disk and run a verify from Disk Utility.
    Write back and let us know how things progress.

  • Got my MBP back from Apple-Problems

    I sent my MBP in for repair on Monday and got it back today.
    I now have a couple of annoying problems. The first thing is every time i boot up my computer, it says "Your computers clock is set before March 24, 2001." Some applications may have issues etc. The first time i thought nothing of it but every time i restart my computer it says it. I went into date and time and had ti sync with time.apple.com and it did so successfully. The data and time are correct and i just restarted and the same thing happened so it seems my computer isn't keeping time while off. The second this is every time I turn on my computer or wake it from sleep, i have to put in my Wi-Fi password again. I check the box that tells it to store it in my keychain and I check in keychain access and it shows it stored. How do i solve these problems?
    Lastly, i got my computer back and they didn't do a re-install of the OS so everything is still on my computer but when I plug in my external drive, it comes up as the green time machine drive but whenever i try to backup, it fails. Why is this? I would like to be able to access my old backups and just continue. I know there is plenty of space, my time machine drive still has 118gb free. I don't know what apple did to my computer but they fixed some problems and created a few more to take their place!
    Thanks in advance!

  • How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

    i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities (from hard drive), turned out I needed to repair disk from a installation disk. Did that, I got the volume (Hard drive) repaired from the installation disk disk. To this point, great!
    When I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair. I went thru two rounds of this.....
    Can anyone help? thanks

    Sorry guys, I don't see how to reply to you so I use reply to "me" basically.
    So the error I get is "volume header needs minor repair" and then you need to perform repair from the installation disk message.
    I did repair not verify from the disk twice. Every time ending in the "the volume had ha been successfully repaired". Then I reboot from the internal disk. Run disk utilities from it, do verify and get the same error message I got before repair. I hope this can shed some light fr you guys. Sorry I didn't include details in the original
