MacBook Grind
Oh no!!!! My four month old MacBook Pro has started to make an awful grinding, whirring sound as illustrated here, here and here.
Oh crap! I was very happy with it. I have never had a Windows laptop make this noise. It gets SO HOT too! I think this is why. Heat expands things dontchaknow. It sounds like the space for the fan to move has gotten smaller. Like the spindle it spins on has warped.
Now, as I bought it in the USA, does this mean I have to take it back there? Or can I take it to Apple in the UK? Y’know. Are they like – global? ;p I did buy AppleCare with it. But surely they should fix this anyway right?
The worst thing is, is that this means I will no doubt have to go without it for over a week!! I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THAT! But I suppose now, I cannot afford not to. Hey Steve, could you please warm your hands first? They’re delicate.
So, if anyone out there has had the same problem and had to take theirs back, could you tell me – did you get a whole new one? Did you have to lock up all your files or reinstall anything at all on its return? Do they prod around your files? (Let’s not forget I’m CTO of podcast.com folks) Should I trash the Windows installation on here?
Oh no. I really don’t need this now 🙁
