New MBP Problem - DOA i guess after 1st restart

[blueridge]

Just got this this afternoon.. Set it up..rebooted..and it wont restart.. Stuck at daisy wheel loading screen... I let it sit there for 15 mins.. I then shut it down after doing quick search on apple forums... Started again and its still stuck.. brand new MBP 15" and one restart and now stuck.. Any ideas ?

Try reinstalling the os. If that doesnt work it could be a bad hard drive

DOA mine also arrived with a screen fault. I think Apple should look into getting a different manufacturer.

I had this issue, but only after I used Onyx. I suspect you'll need to have it replaced again, that's what happened with mine.

Don't even waste you're time. Send it back. If you have to fight with a brand new laptop that you have never even used!!! You send it back.

That sucks and I hope it gets resolved soon.

Well, let's say you magically did get it going tonight would you really want to keep it? Leave it in the sorry state it's in right now so they are sure to see it.

yah.. im just frustrated.. i already packed it up in the box.. i was just letting off some steam..

 

[blueridge]

well.. talked with customer service over at amazon.. where i bought it.. it was cheaper w/o tax then edu discount at apple and anywhere else.. plus i got it overnight.. they are shipping me another one today should have it tomorrow.. brand new.. then i have to send this one back.. so cross my fingers this new one is not DOA..

Ups dropped off new one yesterday.. I set it up and rebooted.. Took 10 seconds... I used it for a few hours.. Did updates.. Seems to work great..
Gets a little warm.. Need more time with it to learn this
