Run your install DVD that came with the notebook by holding "D" while booting and run the hardware test. I just got my logic board replaced free today in my Santa Rosa. If you have the NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card then it could be faulty. Running t…

Just got the logic board replaced for the 2nd time thanks to NVIDIA's faulty video controllers. Apple silently made all Santa Rosa 15" and 17" 2.4's with the NVIDIA 8600M GT cards a 3 year free logic board replacement!!! Happy! This notebook has …

Thanks. I was able to run the Apple Hardware Test on the Tiger CD that came with it. Came back with the Video Controller being the problem. Then I did some research and apparently this is a common problem with the NVIDIA 8600GT that I have. It has a…

Weird. My brothers 3G has been doing that since 3.1. We have restored twice and has not gone away. I have a 3GS and have not had issues except for wifi which was fixed by switching my router from channel 6 to channel 11.

GOT IT! Update thru iTunes and then reset your phone!

I never got that text either. No update as of noon here on east coast. Perhaps 1pm we might see it since it'll be 10am pacific then.

Battery life: My battery life was terrible as soon as I upgraded to 3.1. Then, I restored the phone again and now it is much better. However, twice this week a "full charge" was 96% when I took it off the dock after charging all night. Wifi: …

I don't see it coming because AT&T is still working on getting their 3G up to par with all the current iPhones owners bitching about its speed. Until they can get 4G nationwide, I just don't see it coming. But perhaps it might. Thats one thing I…

I went thru a similar problem myself by cracking the screen on my 3G just 3 weeks before 3GS launch. I too was paying for an iPhone with data plan and could no longer use the iPhone. I used my little brothers old razor phone as the replacement unti…
