MBP returned to store for service

A little background first; I purchased my MBP in June of 06, it has the 2.16 ghz core duo processor and 1 gig of memory. I have not had any problems or worries about it, other then it seeming to run hot, since then. A week and a half ago the MBP started to act funny. The left half of the screen looked like a tv with bad reception. The computer was fully functional, only the screen looked weird, and sometimes when I would changed the screen angle the screen problem would go away.
I took the computer into the local mac store last sunday and when they looked at it they said it was probably just the LVDS cable, and that it should be a 2-3 day fix. Having not heard from them I called yesterday and asked what was going on, they said that they had replaced the LVDS but the logic board was also bad and needed to be replaced, and that it should be done today. I then recieved a message last night that 'something else' was wrong with the computer and they had to order another part and that it would hopefully be there 'soon' and that my MBP would 'hopefully' be fixed 'soon'.
Right now this worries me for two reasons; One is that I want to know what could be going wrong with the MBP, I don't have any info and it worries me. The second is that I am finishing my MA thesis right now and not having a computer to work on is making this nearly impossible. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know if the mac stores have loaners one can get while a comp is in the shop? [yes I know how stupid that sounds] Any advice is welcome, thanks.

I do have my thesis backed up on a disk, and have been trying to work on it when I get a chance. My issue right now is that I work 55 hours a week, and all of these are when the computer labs at my school are open. The only current option I have been able to come up with is to use my girlfriends computer when she is not using it, but she is a Law school student and working on her own papers at the moment.
It kind of sounds like I am up a creek right now. I purchased my MBP becasue of a bad experience I had with Dell after getting a computer stolen last year, having actual people and a store to go to was a big draw for Apple for me. I so far have been happy with the service I have gotten with my MBP and the Applecare plan, I guess it is just my past history with computers that worries me.

  • Returned to store for service and ended up with New computer

    I returned my MacBook Pro 2.0 to my Apple Store for a New top case due to mouse problems. The part took over 3 weeks to come. They said it would take about 30 minutes to fix. After about 2 hours had gone by I started getting nervous. they finally came out and asked me if I was having any other problems with it and I said other than it ran warm none. They tried to boot it and it would start and then stop. They also said the fans were starting but then turning off. They captured the comptuer and gave me a new one. Serial on this one was a week 15 my old one was 8606. My first one had no whine and neither does this one although this one seems to run cooler by far. I also played with a 17" while I was there and that was running cooler than my first MacBook. Anyways they did right by me and I am very pleased.

  • Tc return bought online can you return to store for refund?

    I bought the 1TB online its not working correctly it seems to be frezeing up my DSL modem and I have to keep reseting it it worked great for about a week but seems to get hot to the touch and like I said it is frezeing the modem If i go back to the linksys wireless router the modem no longer has to be reset. But my queston is if I bought it online can I return it to the apple store at the mall for the refund? or do I have to send it back by mail

    Yes you can, i was having trouble with my first 500gb tc that i had ordered online, after hours of tech support they told me to go to an apple store along with my laptop to test to see if it was my time machine software that was the problem. I knew that wasn't the case so i just brought in the tc and they offered to either refund it fully or give me a new one, so i took the new one.

  • MBP Dropped while in for Service

    I have a problem; My MBP was in for a service under warranty (Found an error during hardware tests) at a nextbyte service centre. They dropped the laptop and have replaced the screen, case and hard drive. They want me to take it back like that. I'm not sure if the drop would have caused some damage to the mother board and am worried I will be stuck with a repair bill in the future. Should I be asking for a new laptop from them?

    Absolutely, ask for a new machine! I don't know anything about nextbyte, but if they are a halfway reputable company they will certainly replace a machine damaged while in their "care". I wouldn't accept anything less than a new machine after having to have so much damage repaired due to someone else's negligence. As much as we'd like to believe these machines are bulletproof, if a drop caused that much damage, certainly other internal components could have become damaged, i.e.: optical drive, speakers, wiring solder, etc.. Sorry that happened! Good Luck!

  • Ipod returned to store for new one. Need I do anything to get it synced

    I returned my 32 gb to the store because it did not have enough memory. I was given a refund and bought a 64gb. No personal data is stored on the 32gb and the store said they will clear it. the serial no. of the 32gb was registered. Do i just register and sync the 64gb as if it was my first ipod or is there anything else for me todo?

    Nope.  Just connect it to your computer and iTunes library, register it, and sync away.  There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPhones, or iPads you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.

  • Does it safe to send mac to authorised store for service?

    Hi everyone,
    My MacBook Pro has some system problem(screen brightness control disappears n also the auto graphics switc) so I need to send back to an authorised store(I live in Malaysia there has no a single apple store in my area) to service and BTW my MsacBook still under warranty coverage, but the problem is my friend notebook which is fujisu having subwoofer problem after getting back from service n I also heard some true story too, so am I need to send back or just solve it back my own(redownload os x)
    Because that shop is a authorised store but I can't trust them will care my mac!!!

    See if you can find another AASP in Malaysia -> https://locate.apple.com/my/en/.
    It's not clear what sort of problems your friend had but you want to be absolutely certain that you're dealing with an Apple Suthorized Service Provider before mailing off your machine.

  • Goods Return to Store against Process Order

    Hi,
    Tell me how to do Goods Return to Store against Process Order
    For E.g.
    Process Order X having Material M1 with Requirement Qty 100 Kg as per BOM specification and Issue Qty using COR6 is also 100 Kg but due to less Consumption 20 Kg is required to be returned to store
    So how to have effect of returned 20 KG against Process Order
    Note : I have used MB1C option for Goods Receipt but it won't make any effect in Process Order
    i.e. Requirement Qty  -   100 KG
         Withdrawn Qty     -    100 KG
    But in MMBE it shows 20 KG after receipt from MB1C
    Kunal

    Hi Vivek,
    I tried as per your given direction but it won't worked
    What I required is for E.g.
    Process Order No 11111
    Material No           Mat-A   
    Batch No              Bat-A
    Storage Loc          PM01
    Requirement Qty which is coming from BOM                        120 KG
    Withdrawl Qty either using COR6 or MB1A (261 mov type)     120 KG
    Consider that Process Order is already confirmed and due to some reason All the materials issued against Process Order has to be returned to Store for another Process Order
    When I used MB1A and entered movement type 262 with storage location PM01 then click on To Order Button to enter Reference : Order and click on Tick Button
    It then displayed only those materials which is not yet issued and required to be issued and automatically Movement Type changed to 261
    Please guide

  • HT4436 I sent an email using my mac book pro and later on I return the mac to the store for good.  Can I still retreive the email I just sent, how? please help!

    I sent an email using my mac book pro and later on I return the mac to the store for good.  Can I still retreive the email I just sent, how? please help!

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
    Ciao.

    Where is Apple Stores in Saudi Arabia for service or replacement?

    I'm sure it's not a secret: have you tried  "Apple stores in Saudi Arabia"

  • We're sorry, the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here.

    I needed to restore my phone to an earlier restore point because my notes were deleted after I restored I recieved this message
    "We’re sorry, the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here."
    I need to get phone running asap abd do not want to go to Apple to talk with Genius.

    That message will occur when you put in a NON-AT&T sim

  • If I sign up for service in store, will I have to pay my first bill then and there?

    If I sign up for service in store, will I have to pay my first bill then and there?

    That depends on a lot of things - your age, your credit history - are  you porting in from another carrier? taking over an existing Verizon line via Assumption of Liability?  Moving from pre-paid to post paid?  Starting a brand new, never had a cell phone account?
    Most likely you'll have to pay something - the device cost, taxes, accessories (if chosen), but the actual service portion is billed.

  • Should I return for service?

    i'm using a 5.5 30GB iPod. Somehow I'm forced to restart my iPod everytime I want to sync it. Other that that it's working perfectly. I've tried repairing the disk via disk utility, even restoring. But I didn't hear any weird sounds, so I'm not sure if it's a software problem. Should I sent it for service?

    I've tried using a different cable, but I still need to reset my iPod before I can sync my iPod. I havent tried using a different computer, as I'm not really interested in reformatting my iPod (I'm the only one using a Mac). I'm going to try returning it today and see what happens.
