Ok. 25 bucks. But all data on the Mac must remain intact.

You're brave enough to want to see what Jag's been looking at?

Someone wants years of therapy, from the sounds of it.

Yeah, if you have a warranty for your laptop, it covers the charger. Mine died as well shortly after I got my laptop. I'm pretty sure they'll have them in stock if you take it in, but you might have to wait (mine took 3 weeks to arrive, but it was around the time when they realized there was an issue with the ones that came with the single core macbook pros).

Thank you

Yeah well...needless to say I ran the battery to 7% last night listening to a podcast, plugged it in to charge left the room and came back to it dead. In the middle of my podcast

I need Time Machine.

I need Leopard.



On the other topic...Do I need to take my Laptop in with me to the store and......

Umm... Will the single torrent file on my desktop damn me?

As long as the credit card and social security numbers are valid, I'll take my chances.

They might not care but why take the chance? You could back it up and delete it from the computer.

I'd take it with you, just in case they want to verify that it's the power adapter and not the internal power supply.

I wouldn't worry too much about the torrent file, but move it someplace out of sight for the time being while you have it at the Apple Store with you, just in case. Most tech guys aren't going to care, but you never know.

I don't even keep that stuff on my system and anything personal is fully encrypted. Me FTW!

Ten bucks and I get to stab you in the face and upper torso with a large kitchen knife until my arm gets tired.

Jag, 50 bucks with all of the memory kept intact, provided you don't create a virus timed to take out your computer the first time I start it up.

Do you get to switch arms? Might take a while for both arms to tire.

No, I don't get to switch arms. Keep in mind that I'm a weight lifter, though, so I'll just consider this a VERY high rep workout.

You already want to convert and you know it.

Only because you make your bread and butter off of Windows.

Got a friend with a power supply so you can move the file real quick? Plus, that would determine whether it was the power supply and not your MacBook.

I dont want no MACbook air. I want a laptop with some weight to it!

That's like the single best commercial concept ever. Props to the marketing department.

I had thought of that. Except....

Rural America = Hicks or Cowboys = PC users = I am alone with my MacBook in shark infested waters where people are always picking a fight with me when they see my shiny MacBook Pro = no one to ask.

Why do you think I'm always running to ya'll when I have issues?

 

[Malice]

How much is the latest OS for the MAC?

Ah, I see. In all honesty any tech geek working at an Apple store probably has a few torrents on his computer too. You'll probably be fine.

 

[wiegeabo]

I doubt they'll make a big deal about the torrent. Heck, they shouldn't even need to turn the computer on. Just hook the new charger into it. Light on the charger goes green, everything is fine. And if it's completely shutdown, it'll have to reboot anyway.

If they try and take the laptop, just say you have sensitive information on it and you'd rather stay with it. I don't see a reason for them to even touch the laptop (unless there's something wrong it and not the charger).
