[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1529061, member: 101749"] HAHA too funny, and we could well be twins, as i went a little further and thought i would check the iSight, and Photo Booth came up as *No Camera* lol so i took it apart and there was 1 wire loose, (**** they are really really really really small wires and connections) and i go it in and with the tiniest piece of Blu Tack (Is like chewing gum, but used for posters on walls, those in the US might call it something else) and stuck it to it, and reconnected the wire and its working for now. I got word back from the Service centre and they wont even attempt to Solder it back on, they want to change out my Logic Board, and for the sake of stereo speakers, i can live without. I have Airport Expresses in nearly every room with speakers, so i dont need them on my Mac, but i do get excited hearing the **Swooosh** sound mail gives off when email is sent, but i still have my left speaker for that. Now on the SSD. WOW WOW WOW is all i can say. I have nearly instant Startup, Apps dont bounce when opening and i just love it. Im glad i made the purchase. I have iTunes pointed at my old HD and thats where ill keep all media. I nearly didnt because it looked like i was running out of space, because i only had 180gb left on a 650gb HD (i Have a 100gb Bootcamp partition). I opened Daisy Disk and did a scan, and in the hidden files i found a mobile backups.backups file that was HUGE and doing online reading it says not to empty it, and some say do, do i did and got all my space back. Its a Folder where TM puts data if the TM Backup is interrupted, and it went fine and did another back up. Now im mega happy. [/QUOTE]
