Hey all,
I got my MBP in July of 2006 and it's just starting to have too many problems. I'm hoping people might be able to shed light on some of these issues, and if they are perhaps fixable without having to spend a load of money.
Most troubling, starting within the past month or so, my computer has begun to freeze periodically. This has happened multiple times when pulling up Dashboard, and simply not being able to come back from it. Last night, it just completely turned off out of no where while I was typing a term paper! I am not happy about this. Thoughts?
It's been about 6 months now that I haven't been able to burn CDs due to some sort of laser calibration issue. What's the deal with this?!
Also, my battery is a complete joke. I can't use my computer for 5 minutes without it dying. This is likely my own fault, but it is my second battery and I would've liked for it to be in better shape.
Considering how much I paid for this "professional" piece of equipment, it's not particularly stable. It seems like the problems just keep piling on, particularly with this new freeze/shutdown kick its on. I'll be living in London from January to May and would really love to have some of these issues sorted out before I leave the country. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding these troubles? Thanks.
