So yesterday I woke and started using my M1 Pro (10cpu,14gpu), it was strange.... it was working but strangely, I realized the problem was that the haptic trackpad had failed, it was responding to my touches but not vibrating. Leaving to the feeling of hitting just a non-reactive surface (for example turn off your computer and tap the trackpad). I was.. unnerved but decided to deal with it because I was doing an assignment and I couldn't really afford to pay to fix it it was broken but functionally -worked-, halfway through working on that the computer went black and restarted itself..... trackpad is working again. I shrug and do my assignment as it was saved.
In class a few hours later, the computer restarts itself 3 times, one while doing a project and twice after it had just restarted and id entered my password. Fourth time it works. Later that night while reading an ebook I hear a sound I vaguely recognize, the fans are on full blast!! I check activity monitor 2% user 3% system, yet the device is acting like i'm doing a handbrake encode! The metal is actually cool to the touch at this point sucking in the AC'd air at a frenzied pace.
This morning reading an ebook, realized fans were on full again, checked, usage below 10%. 30M later fans go off.
Haven't had a trackpad problem restart/fans anything the rest of today. No heavy work however just reading and browsing.
TLDR; Is anybody having issues with the latest software because my computer is going freaking crazy?!! Fans full, trackpad broken......
Or is my hardware going kaput and I need to book it to the nearest Apple store? As a college student any expenditure is awful but I also -need- this computer.
PS: About 6 months ago my computer did suffer water damage.... but Apple fixed it under the $299 Applecare+ and ended up replacing only 2 components in the computer 1 major 1 minor(I have the receipt), if more have failed, are they going to charge me an additional $299 or honor the past warranty payment? I' concerned more parts are failing because Apple didn't fix every affected part, i'm terrified ill take it in and they'll say "this shows water damage $299" when I already paid that to get everything fixed.
I'm really hoping some other people have had issues with the current release so I can relax but I do believe it's hardware related to that incident.
