[QUOTE="daboy0370, post: 666294, member: 57066"] [b]Most recent visit to the "Genius Bar"[/b] So I visited the "Genius Bar" on Friday. I explained the situation to the genius and he wanted to look into whether or not a wire was dislodged during the Super drive replacement. Ok, that was a bust. Now they ordered 2 new fans for the system. I have owned numerous computers (sparc, mac, pc's) over the years. never have I seen 2 fans fail simultaneously. At least they did not say that they would have to reinstall the OS (symptoms occur under both XP and OSX (I want to avoid the OS reinstall if I can). I asked about the possibility of replacing the unit for a new one. The guy said he would look into that based upon the service history of this machine. I had it in for the superdrive, some cosmetic thing right after purchase, and now the fan issue. If they say they will replace it, I will not accept a refurb. Absolutely not. One more thing, the battery life is greatly reduced due to the fans constantly running. What a surprise! O-well, more to come. [/QUOTE]
