I have a MacBookPro 15'' purchased in May 2008.
Background:
First week, the superdrive went. Luckily I had MAC care. Then I had problems with my PCI slot recognising Express Card 34. It only recognises a Belkin Model for some reason... Then as I started using my computer more on the internet as I began sending huge files. I'd check on my little buddy 45 minutes later and find the wireless signal had disappeared requiring me log onto my wireless network again then timing out 30 minute to an hour later again ... and again ... and again (I have a 12'' PowerBook that gives me no such grief on same wireless system) This problem was bad enough and had everyone down the Mac shop in Bangkok scratching their heads, but soon after, not only would I loose my signal, but my AirPort switched OFF completely and wouldn't let me turn it back on no matter how many times I clicked ON. The only thing that resolve the problem temporarily, was a restart. I talked Mac Service into installing a new airport card. Got the computer home and three days later it started all over again. The last time Airport switched OFF for good happened right at the moment I was inserting my Express 34 card into the PCI slot. Computer is back at the shop. Heads are being scratched, hair follicles falling out.
Any bright ones please?
