Dear Apple: My Macbook Keeps Trying To Light My House On Fire, Please Replace It

[ixania]

This poor guy is named Steve. Steve's Macbook keeps trying to light his house on fire, so Steve would like replacement. He's already sent the computer for repair several times, gotten it back, at which time it tried to light his house on fire again.

Бедный Стив. Это надо было в "Само приползло".
Выглядит очень подозрительным. Там комменты есть правильные:

I'll second the issue of suing them in small claims court.

I have to wonder, how the hell is it sparking? The only way I could see it happening is through something metal making a connection thats shorting something... I could understand a frayed power cord but at the magsafe connector? There is something he's not telling us.

I think Steve's a downright handsome fella. Sorry about the runaround with Apple. It seems that generally Apple is really, really great about coming through (especially with AppleCare) but sometimes they just face plant hard. You would think they'd be a bit more proactive about fixing a 'puter with pyromaniacal tendancies.

He has a firewire cable there! FIRE!

У моего друга здесь была проблема еще с iBook G3, никакого AppeCare у него не было, работала машинка как часики пока на нее колу не вылили. А тут как раз Apple сделала callback на эти машинки, замена дисплея. После провала 2-x попыток Apple починить этот комп по той программе (мой друг находил что-нибудь нерабочее) они просто выслали ему новую модель (старому тогда больше 2 лет было).
