A Little Bit Of Input On This Situation

[gatman400]

Hello everyone this is my first of what will be many posts on Mac Rumors, But this post is about my 2.2ghz 2gb RAM SR MBP, I bought it in october last year and since then ive had this list of problems

-keyboard and trackpad replaced
-Screen Replaced
-i Sight Camera Replaced
-Upper and lower case replace
- Burnt By It
- Fan Humming

Personally i think this is terrible for an 8 month old notebook to have had this many problems already, so this is the reason i would like your opinion on this matter. Is this normal with a macbook pro or isn't it.

Thanks In Advance

No, obviously not normal...

No. Probably 1 out of 200 customers have less-than-major problems with the MBPs. It seems like either you purchased a faulty one or you abuse it. I would personally ask for a new one do to the long list of problems.

 

[gatman400]

thank you for your input, i totally agree with your opinion. Yet apple reassuringly says it is fine (load of bull)

yes i have asked for a new one and they have said no since there are no vital parts that have been replaced they have given me a 100$ apple online store one time use credit but whats the use of that if my mbp is crap, On the other hand i don't abuse my mbp i technically worship it

And yet they have seemingly worked to satisfy you by replacing items

Are you still having issues currently?

1st off, $100 is alot of money to get from Apple for free.

If your MBP is still working, and Apple says its fine, then you're probably going a bit overboard here.

And the humming fan problem/burnt myself problem can be easily fixed with "Smc Fan Control".

What could possible be wrong with the screen hinge and trackpad? Sounds to me like you are a bit over the top here.

If it's so messed up, make a video of how bad it "sucks".

The trackpad becomes unresponsive and to be truthful i bet if you were in my position you would be a little over the top i bought this computer with my own money in grade 10 and the screen hinge is messed that if i move my mac into say a more reclining position in my lap it will flap down with out any pressure.
In regards to making a video, what will that be the use of ? please elaborate

Make a video and video tape everything wrong with your MBP (and demonstrate with scenarios and such).

Seriously. Handle this in a professional manner. Write to Apple corporate. Just do something about it instead of whining here looking for justification.

Thank you very much i hope this issue will be fixed or it will be rather disappointing

What do you mean when you say the trackpad is unresponsive? Explain in detail.

Sometimes the trackpad on my MBP is unresponsive for a fraction of a second if the "ignore accidental trackpad input" is enabled. Try disabling that function in the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane if it is currently enabled.

after a while, im sure we would all "look" for things wrong.

Especially after all the OP has been through.

It sounds like its getting a little much though. If apple says its fine, chances are, it is. In this situation, it sounds like your becoming a bit difficult now. Do you deserve a new machine? Not in my eyes.

The only major thing i see changed is the LCD. Just try to start enjoying the machine. Youll regret it if you dont.

This is just my opinion, and since you asked for them in your original post, dont yell at me

If apple has looked at the Machine and is fixing these problems, they would look for damage / signs of abuse and if so, deny any claims.

If you have any more issues with any of these components, demand a new machine. This is a pro level machine and its customers should be treated as such (WITHOUT purchasing ProCare or whatever other over the top contracts or service plans).
