;ogic board why do they just stop working?

My mac book pro is costing more then I  can cope with . its on its third logic board and now 18 months down the line its packed up again this time no warrantee  .
I’m a student living of saving here in Borneo. age 51 so can get work doing a degree in digital photography with the OCA ,OMG when I bought my mac. For help i could not wish for better service . I missed renewing the warrantee by 1 week when i was back in the UK so when i went to renew could not . now the logic board had packed up again and a bill for 500 UK 2500 rm . Its just not adding up justification 0
This if i cant get it working going to set me back 5 years . What to do. I plead anyone got a logic board they can replace cheap?
And any way to look into why these logic boards, WHY they  just stop working for no reason. They seem so un reliable after all the reading I have done on line. And for the cost. OMG I wish i stayed with a normal lap top . My last one lasted 7 years like this PC Help mac I need help.
Symptoms none !
I was doing video editing from my I movie from the 1 t bite HD it was on the cool tray i shut everything down to go to bed, but the lap top in the other room as was off for the week end. came back. and nothing. light come on. drive whirls . no other light. I put a leopard disk in . optic drive did some thing then stopped. the left side starts to get hot. Still nothing. Closed it and opened . tried to boot from partition nothing.
WHY WHY WHY?       Must be some answerer as other computers like my old Toshiba never have this trouble.

  • Why does Acrobat just stop working?

    Installed CD6.  Everything works/opens just fine.  Then all of a sudden Acrobat stops working.  Illustrator and Photoshop are fine.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and everything worked fine for numerous uses.  Then Acrobat stopped working - in the middle of a PDF and it just "disappear" and Acrobat will no longer open.  This time I uninstalled, used Adobe CleanUp Tool and reinstalled.  Works just fine now....but I am concened that Acrobat will stop working again.  Has this happened to other users?  Operating system is Windows 7.

  • T510 - internal speakers just stopped working

    I have a T510 using the Contexant 20585 SmartAudio HD driver for the internal speakers. Today they just stopped working. I run the tests and I get no sound left or right. Now I did notice something odd. I open Control Panel and then I click SmartAudio. I then click the third icon from the left at the bottom of the screen (Audio Director). Now on the right hand panel of the screen I see a large, red 'X' beside the laptop. That would be between the laptop and the headphones.... anybody know what that is? (Would it appear to signify that something is amiss with the speaker?)
    Anyway, I've uninstalled, installed the latest drivers (May 2010). Still nothing... any ideas?

    I can merely offer a suggestion, reset the iPad.
    Press Home + sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the white Apple logo appears.

  • I'm having huge problems with my MBP (2010). Exposé just stopped working, both the key on the keyboard and the multitouch gesture stopped working. Does anyone have any idea why, or how to solve it?

    Exposé just stopped working, both the key on the keyboard and the multitouch gesture gets no response. Does anyone have any idea why, or how to solve it?

    I found a way to fix it. Simply restart the dock by using "killall Dock" in the terminal.
    Cheers!

  • Why do some keyboard shortcuts just stop working?

    Since upgrading to Lion, some of my keyboard shortcuts - especially one for Mail - just stops working now and then and the only thing I can figure out to fix it is to restart the macbook.
    The main one I've had trouble with is ⌘+ enter to send a message.
    It seems (unreal, I know) that certain messages disable it in replies.
    Any other way you can think of to reset the keystroke other than restarting?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    Sounds like the project has somehow become corrupt. You may need to create a new project and copy/paste slides. You may also find that this will transfer over the issue. So it could be limited to a specific slide or even a single object on a slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

    The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen.  Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
    as to how to fix.  Thanks in advance

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • One day, my bookmarks tabs just stopped working. I only have 12 pages bookmarked, why is not working anymore? I can't click the star, or manually do it.

    It used to work, but now when I go to click the star, it turns yellow for about half a second, but won't click and bookmark it. I cannot bookmark it manually under the tab either, it simply does not click--no option comes up, and nothing is saved. I didn't turn anything off, it just stopped working, randomly.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My iPod 5th Generation charger just stopped working??

    Both my mother and I have iPod 5's and we've only had them maybe 6 months. I've never had any problems with the charger I have which is the white regular one that came with the iPod when I bought it. Today, when I got home from school, I tried to charge my iPod, but it simply wouldn't charge with the wall adapter. I then tried to plug it in to the computer and it still wouldn't work. I then thought it was the charger, so I tried my spare charger, yet it refused to work as well. I also tried it on my mothers iPod and it would not work either. The cables are not broken, I have just used them today. Also we thought it could have been the wall adapter and we used the standard white one by Apple, yet when we plugged it into the wall it said it was not compatible. I don't understand why they would just stop working out of nowhere, when nothing has been done to render them from working.

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Yes, try another one that is known to work 
    Iphone 5 lightning port charging problem - SOLUTION!
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Two games apps just stopped working

    I'm new to the ipod and was wondering if someone knows why two of my games apps have justed stopped working. The icons display a "X" symbol on the top LHS when you hover over the icon. Tapping the icon tries to launch the app but they always fail. Its frustrating as they did work. Reloading, re-syncing and updating these apps does nothing.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Try resetting the device. Hold down on the sleep and home keys, past the red slider, until you see the silver apple and let it reboot.
    If that doesn't work, try downloading a free app. Any free app. This often clears the glitch. It's like the iPad 'forgets' who owns the iPad and when you have to sign into iTunes to download a free app, that act reminds it and clears up the non function of apps.

  • Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

    Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

  • Can't open a dng or raw file in cs5, just stops working. So many problems in cs5!

    I totally feel for you. Just upgraded from cs4 to cs5 and it was the  biggest mistake i ever made. It will probably end my livelihood as a  photographer since EVERY time i open a raw file it crashes photoshop,  makes it freeze up after i have adjuted the file in camera raw then I  hit open; i get a few bars then it just stops working.
    Even got  tech help, which helped when i was on the phone with them. The next day  the problem came back even when I danced the same jig that I did when I  had the guy on the phone - he had me move a raw file on to the desktop  rather than take open from my hard drive, then I was able to open it, so  we came to the conclusion that my drive was corrupt. I had the same  information backed up on a brand new hard drive so we compared files  from the each drive against the other. The files from the new drive  opened successfully. Yesterday. Now Photoshop cs5 doesn't open any raw  or dng files at all from anywhere so it can only be a problem with  photoshop. We thought we had the problem solved but we did not. This  never happened on CS4 unless i was trying to open 30 or more raw files,  and even then it gave me a warning that it had no more ram, it didn't  just lock up and do nothing. I'm at my wit's end. Even though there are a  lot of great new things in cs5, they aren't very useful if you can't  use the product to do the simplest thing.

    1) Install the Photoshop 12.0.1 update
    2) Install the latest ACR update.
    If problems continue after that, then there probably is something wrong with your system.
