Hi everyone,
My macbook pro is a mess right now. I am going to give all the info I can. I am sure there are some things about the computer you will need to know, but I have no clue what you need or how to get it so if you tell me how to I will find it out and put it up ASAP. I have had if for just over 3 years and it has not been what I expected it to be but now it is even worse.
Problems:
Since the beginning I have had some issues with Safari closing for no apparent reason. It has asked me to report it... but I never did. I just quit Safari and opened it again (sometimes I had to reboot to get it to open again and actually work. If I click relaunch it won't do anything other then open and load an 8th of the way and stay there).
About 6 months ago I dropped it and dented the case by the screen. It worked fine after that (well kinda... it has always had a few issues). The only real problem that happened right away was that it doesn't line up perfectly when it closes. It still closes though.
Sometimes if I close it when it is on, and then I open it, I won't get the screen to type in my password. When that happens there are times that I just close it and open it a few times and it will come up and I can type in my password. Other times I have to hold in the power button and kill it...
It frequently freezes now. I mainly use Safari and Pages, but it happens in other apps as well. It will freeze for 5 minutes or so sometimes. That is really frustrating when you are in the middle of a paper. It used to freeze for 30 seconds every now and then...but now it is a huge issue.
Sometimes when I type it gets way behind what I am typing. It has done that for most of this post.
This summer my keys stopped working for a few days (well the bottom row, spacebar, and some of home row). But that hasn't been a problem since then.
My mouse doesn't work properly sometimes. I will have to click several times (10-15) to get it to actually work. I have it set up so you have to physically push the track pad in because I bump it when it is set up the other way and it drives me nuts.
I think that is all of it... I will add some if I remember any of the other problems I have had. I am just frustrated and what to know how to fix if (if it can be fixed) and a cost estimate. Let me know what additional info you need for my help.
Thanks!
