Hey, good Saturday everyone.

My Macbook Pro died the other day. That's all I've got! Screw you, Apple!

The video goes haywire, like when a video card is toast. I haven't talked to the tech guy since I dropped it off but I'm betting (and hoping) that the issue is the on-board nvidia video. The 8600Ms provided by Nvidia for the MBP Santa Rosas and a few other laptops have a defect. They used sub-standard paste inside them. Apple extended the warranty to issues related to the video. So hopefully they will cover the cost of repair because I'm sort of pissed. It's not my only issue with the laptop. The battery only lasted 113 charges, the DVD ROM drive wont burn any DVDs or read burned DVDs, and the laptop wont sleep properly (after lots of troubleshooting I'm pretty sure it's related to the depleted battery.) It keeps waking up at random. The $1100 laptop I sold before getting this one still works fine for its owner :p

Take away these issues and its an amazing laptop
