Has anyone here had their logic board replaced yet?

I am going to take my MBP to my local Apple store tomorrow to hopefully get the logic board replaced due to the whine and some crashes. Has anyone had the board replaced? Does it fix the issue? I am just wondering if it is dead silent after the switch...

Yes, I just received mine back today for logic board replacement. It did get rid of the whine, I must say that apple's service was first calss. I placed a call last Wednesday, received a shipping box next day, prepaid I might add. DHL picked up the box on Friday, apple service center received, repaired and shipped it back on Saturday. Amazing, never experienced this kind of turn-around on anything.
Thanks Apple

Performing a system restore on iBook that has had its logic board replaced

I want ot do a system restore on my iBook G3. I had to send it in for a logic board replacement and received new install discs when it was returned to me. My problem is that I would like to have my iPhoto software and iMovie software that was installed on my computer when I purchased it. I have to do a clean install with the Mac OS X 10.3 disks that were shipped with the replacement of the logic board I will lose this. I want to use the system restore disks that came with my iBook when I originally purchased it. Is this possible since I have had my logic board replaced?

The simplest way to reinstall iPhoto and iMovie is to download Pacifist and then extract the relevant applications from the Software Restore Discs.
Pacifist comes with instructions; this is not a difficult operation and there is no need for erase & install to recover the applications.
Pacifist is Shareware, but you need not pay the fee in order to use it. Every time that you open Pacifist you will be prompted to purchase a licence. If you feel that Pacifist is worth the money (and I think that it is), you can purchase a licence at any stage.
If you're a plonker like me, then purchasing a licence will provide justification for third party developers like CharlesSoft to save the day for the rest of us.
Good luck!

We just had our logic board replaced on our G4 2005 model is this common?

I have done some looking and seems the older G3 and G4s had this problem so maybe ours was a rarity. Also in my research seems apple came up with a separate coverage so do we need this in addition to the applecare extended warrantee?

Wow! Didn't know I would be bashed for being consise. It is a G4 ibook we bought it Oct. 2005, (this is b/c I noticed in other posts that the G4 ibook date back to 2002). Not sure how else to put it as it was in my post earlier, "we just had our logic board replaced on our G4 ibook (which is stated in the original at the bottom corner as the brilliant apple people have designed to keep these consise) 2005 model is this common," then in the message it goes on to say that I have found other posts and other sites that have people typing about having to have their logic boards replace/repaired 2-3 times, ie this example below.

Douglas,
Apple didn't knowingly sell faulty goods. Once the problem was identified, Apple stepped up to the plate with the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program (which is not a recall — they are being fixed when and if they fail, but have not been recalled), and your iBook still falls under the three-year plan.
If that is not satisfactory to you, please take the measures I outlined in my previous post to you.
Sorry to not be more specific in the first post, I figured since my search brought this issue up immediately someone out there would know about this.
And to the second response, no I don't have a clue the difference is, that is why I bought an apple, suppose to be easier for those of us who are computer challenged.

I just had my logic board replaced. now im having trouble using the interent even with a strong connection and the internet is working on other devices!! please help me :(

I just had my logic board replaced. i am now having trouble with using the interent even with a strong connection. all other devices are having no problem with the internet. please help

Test while started in Recovery : if the problem persists, then it likely is a hardware issue.
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) probably won't change anything, but you can readily do it before contacting the repairers.

Has anyone here had experience with a Sony NEX-VG10/E m2ts file?

A recently created file with this video camera, and importing its m2ts file into Permiere Pro CS5 is proving offering disappointing rsults. The images are fuzzy and there is a great deal of what appears to be interlace issues. If it were not for other programs playing these files very clearly I would dismiss them as coming from an inferior camera.
Is there anyone here who has had experience with these files and editing them in PPCS5?
The file in question is shown as being a "File type: TS(AVC) Format" and the "Image size is 1440 x 1080"
Hoping to hear from someone.
Cheers,
Michael

Thank you
Forgot all about that one - i.e. Playback - Full Resolution

Has anyone ever had their Iphone 3GS jsut shut off repeatedly?

My Iphone 3GS has begun shutting off for no apparent reason. I can be surffing the internet and have sufficient battery and it will just shut off. Has anyone else experiences this?

I'm sure there are people who have had this problem. I haven't however. But I don't see how finding that other people have had the problem will help you fix yours.
A Restore with iTunes may fix it. If it doesn't do the Restore again and do not reload your backup. If that fixes it the backup is corrupt.

Has anyone ever had their icons disappear on their dock

I was using Address book and when I started it the picture of the book became an picture of a program that looks likes it is downloading the program for the first time. Can anyone help me git the normal on back or tell me where to find the help to do that.
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.3)

With Address Book closed, drag its icon off the Dock. It will go 'poof' and disappear. In Finder, click on Applications, locate Address Book and click on it once and drag it to the Dock. That should replace it.

Has anyone else had their google account turned into Chinese?

As of yesterday, chrome shows all my google accounts in chinese adn I can't get rid of it. Anyone else have this issue? Should I be worried?

There were many customers in this same situation, including myself. I had 5 of 6 cancelled, I contacted them immediately. This was a major computer "glitch" that is just getting cleaned up in September. Only 3 of my 5 lines have been reinstated. The issue I had with this was that I would now have to wait 16 months instead of 12 months(May through August) to be able to edge up without additional funds out of my pocket. Or I would have to wait 28 months not the 24 months to be free of the edge agreement. I sent an email to my Verizon area president, within an hour I got a phone call. After an hour on the phone I negoitiated a $75 credit for each line. And then if I choose to early edge in May 2015 I will get an additional credit of $50 towards payment of my device I'm edging up. Since they are unable to adjust the length of the Edge agreement, I started out asking for a $100 credit for each line, which consisted of the $25 per month credit for being month to month in May 2016 to August 2016. Calling them is just a waste of your time, the CSR's can only offer a $50 credit.

Has anyone else had their Support Case closed without notification and with false details?

My support case was "withdrawn" by Adobe for false reasons and nobody contacted me when they closed the case. Is this normal? After the case was established they asked me to provide some more information (proof) by uploading to the support case. I did this on 6/21/15 (uploaded the file they requested) but on 6/25/14 they closed the case and said that I never replied even though my reply is there for all to see and it even shows the uploaded file. Additionally they never contacted me, they just closed it.
I always had a really positive view of Adobe until I had to contact them for some support on 6/18...since then, not so much.

Was it for a current version?
What is the problem? Maybe somebody here can help.

Has anyone else had their home button start activation itself...?

.../switching between apps/opening Siri? i can't seem to figure out why this is happening

I have not seen that posted here before. Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Just had my logic board replaced, dim screen with no brightness control

My MacBook Pro 17 inch was just in for repair due to the nvidia 8600 issue (no video, Mac won't boot, etc.). I have it back as of this afternoon but when I turned it on the screen is unbelievably dim -- almost as if I have the brightness at the second-to-lowest level.
Here's the catch: when I attempt to use the brightness control, either via F1/F2 keys or in System Preferences the brightness will not change. The icon overlay shows up on the screen as if it is working but the screen brightness just doesn't work.
When I bring the brightness indicator all the way down, to the point where the screen would normally shut off, the screen stays on...but it's just the same dim screen.
Any ideas?

Have you had logic board replaced?

Hi,
I am wondering if any folks who have sent their MacBooks in to get the logic board replaced (and received them back) could comment on the effectiveness of the replacement.
I have been reading the boards avidly (as my MacBook is off in repair-land awaiting a logic board replacement) and noticed that some folks have been speculating that the logic board replacement won't fix anything.
Could someone who has had a logic board replacement report on the effect? Did it fix the problem? (Note: my issue is/was that the macbook refused to turn on anymore after 3 weeks of problem-free use)
Thanks!

About 8 hours after receiving it, my MacBook would not turn on. Called AppleCare and was told to bring it into an authorized service depot. Diagnosed as a faulty logic board, it was replaced and it's been fine ever since. 2 weeks and counting...

Seeing a lot of logic board replacements here.

I know that the majority of posts to any discussion boards are by people who have issues of one kind or another, but I am reading a lot of posts stating that the poster has had the logic board replaced at least once.
Being that the logic board is to the MacBook what a motherboard (or mainboard) is to a Wintel unit, I am finding it hard to believe that the main component of a computer from one of the (or the) most respected personal computer manufacturers is being so troublesome.
As I have a 17" MBP on order & live over an hours drive from an Apple store, I would like to know exactly how common is a replacement of the LB?

Indeed, you are right. Apple's approach is usually silence. Those of us with warped cases, bad logic boards, bad batteries, defective trackpad buttons, and much more will likely be brushed aside if all looks well on the marketing end. And that is how we can best get their attention. In my job I can tell at least 5 people per day how horrible mhy experience with Apple has been. The market is corrective. The greatest thing we can contribute to the welfare of the market is to base our next purchase on our past experience. At this point, it will NOT be an Apple bit of hardware. If OSX is not running on other systems by that point, I will simply revert to SuSE 10, or SLED (by Novell) running on a an inexpensive but reliable HP or Dell.

Logic Board replaced after randomly shutting down

I know there are a lot of posts on the randomly shutting down issue...
My MacBook started randomly shutting down after a month since I got it. Apple replaced the logic board and I got it back today. I read on some posts that people got their logic boards replaced and the problem continued. Is this likely to happen with my MacBook?
This seems to be a big issue. My friend got a MacBook last week and it started randomly shutting off within the first hour of use. He had it exchanged, and it's fine now... but for how long?

I don't think it would do any good to yell at the store manager/technician. Still, I do understand you since I got the same problem here. However, since my logic board was replaced, I got fewer RSD, which is a start...
Personnaly, I know that my MB is guaranted 1 year, so I won't hesitate to have it repaired, or exchanged if needed (after 3 repairs for the same problem usually). As a matter of fact, other than some RSD, my fan has started making noises when I power up my MB, when it is cool. I wait because there is no solution out there yet (for RSD, and my problems are not that bad.
By the way, reading many of the threads around here, we can almost state for sure that:
-the logic board
-the RAM
-the hard drive
-the heat sink
-the battery
are not the (direct) sources of RSD. This has to be proved for the processor and the fan.
To be followed...

Has anyone here had their logic board replaced yet?
