My PB came back last Friday and had spots again by Tuesday. I called AppleCare with the intent just to make sure they recorded that the spots are back, not with the intent to send it back in right away. Well, they put me on the phone with a "sen…

Quote: Originally posted by machem I shoulda bought a G5. I'm getting spotty again. Me, too. I've got the top center one I mentioned a couple days ago, and it's been joined by one on the right and another starting on the left. I think I'…

My PB came back from Apple repair last Friday. The LCD and logic board were replaced. There's 1 stuck pixel (lower center), but the real kicker is that a white spot (upper center of screen) has appeared and is getting more and more distinct. I'm …

Mine is back, as well. Looks and runs great, so far.

Quote: Originally posted by machem Mine SHIPPED! I'm almost as happy as when it originally shipped on the 23rd of Sept. I could have it tomorrow, but I hate to jinx it by saying (typing) it. Too late, I guess. All my AppleCare returns have be…

Apprarently the parts have arrived and my PB is under repair. Hopefully it will be back tomorrow . . . without any white spots (please!) and a new logic board. -N

Thanks, Cycle, for doing the petition. According to the ApplCare rep, the white spots defect is not an issue that he's aware of. He also told me that all of their LCD's come from the same company, and that my PB LCD would be probably replaced with…

My new 15" is with Apple Repair for white spots, battery life, latch problems, and, get this, a faulty logic board (won't reboot without resetting the PRAM every time). The latst word is that my repair is on hold "awaiting parts." The parts (new L…

But, what I want to know is if I'll get a free, or at least discounted, 10.3 since I just bought a 15" Al. Any ideas? Thanks. -N

Don't abandon your beloved Pismo! Mine, with 1 GB RAM and a 500 mhz G4, will be with me for at least a year. (shh, don't tell him, but the moment a G5 PB comes out he's gone) This laptop has been my best, ever. It even has survived multiple 3 fo…
