Apple Fixing MacBook Pro Issues
Published April 3rd, 2006 in Apple, Noteworthy, Technology, Wireless
Daily Tech has got some good news for the folk with MacBook Pro’s. Apple has updated the MacBook Pro’s with a newer revision, fixing all the problems people have been complaining about. These include the screen flickering at the lowest setting, MBP being very hot, Airport issues and the whining sound some MBP have been making. Tuan at Daily Tech spoke with Apple at the weekend and was able to comfirm with them some of the problems they’ve been having with the MBPs.
According to Apple, it has begun replacing the mainboard inside its MacBook Pros with a new revision. It calls the udpated product “revision D”, which is identifiable by product serial number.
- Serial numbers starting with W8611: revision D
- Serial numbers starting with W8610: revision C
Apple said that revision D MacBook Pros have many issues addressed and improvements made, including fixes to the above mentioned issues. We were also able to get a hold of a MacBook Pro that just arrived during the week with a serial number starting with W8612, which did not exhibit any of the above issues.
Apple also said that if your MacBook Pro has any problem you should first check your serial number whether you should be exempt from these problems, and then contact Apple who will fix it for you. If your MBP gets too hot, or hotter than you think and your serial number is the one affected, then Apple said that they will replace your MBP with a newer revision. Finally, Apple have addressed the problem, but I wish that they were more open about it, at least announce that they are investigating the problem so that we know there is hope!
