No, you don't need to. The first time I sent one in for repair, I was confused as well. The two other times, I left them unchecked (these were all different computers). They have all the information they need in the case notes. Leave the boxes unchecked.

yea yea i know triple post..

well, something is seriously wrong with my MBP again..

graphics:

expose makes windows flash white squares
scrolling causes text to bundle/white squares
youtube videos cause white squares
screensavers leave a trail and "ghost"
screensavers sometimes freeze
automatically changing desktops sometimes goes slow and jerks

the hard part is these things sometimes only happen when the computer has been on for a couple hours, and i cant pinpoint what is causing them. the computer is usable, but this computer shouldnt be having these distractions. i sent an email to sjobs@apple.com and now i am waiting for another call back from Ken Bell.

Time Machine/Capsule Problems: with all thats been going wrong with my computer i thought i should get a time capsule for backups.. guess what! the thing isnt even working right now, probably at the cause of the MBP, but the time capsule itself may be bad as well..
