Definite overheat and fan issues for this MBAir, despite the new logic board. I'm certain they don't have a solution, but have decided to go through the motions. My understanding is that a logic board is like the kiss of death, and if that repair doesn't remedy the situation then they are at wit's end. Apple Store Appointment at 2:00pm this afternoon...🙁
dude, if they replaced the MLB and it's still overheating then they need to replace your unit (that is if you have tested off of an external OS or in a different user environment).
Your case is pretty simple...march right up to the genius bar and say 'ok, i've played by the rules, i came to the bar, the genius said everything should be fixed by shipping my unit to depot, i got it back and look....same exact issue. I've already been without my machine for x weeks, and I'm a bit more than frustrated. I definitely can't go another x weeks without my machine as i'm a student. What can you do for me?'
if the genius mentions anything other than a CRU, ask to see a manager immediately. I wouldn't ask to see the lead genius, bc they tend to be hard-asses...managers are highly trained on customer service relations. When speaking to an Apple Manager be sure to say the sentence 'up until now, i have been nothing but an apple promoter, but after this situation...well, i'm not too happy.' That should get you the CRU after re-explaining your scenario.
after speaking to a manager, if he doesn't decide to replace your machine, ask for his business card, go home and call 1-800-My-Apple. They will give you a customer replacement unit (but they'll have to ship it to you and such).
you should be fine. just be calm at the bar and DON"T yell at the genius
🙂
good luck (though you won't need it)...
stay cool...total bummer that the MLB didn't fix it. When you get your new one, get coolbook running on that badboy
🙂
