Hello everyone.
This is my first post on the forums, although I'm planning on looking around in here once in a while, to see what people are posting.
For starters, I just wanted to tell you about this little problem I've been having with my MacBook 1,83GHz.
Sitting at my desk at work one morning, peacefully drinking my coffee, I suddenly received a rather discomforting error-message from my shiny new (about 1 month old) MacBook;
"A USB devise is currently drawing too much power and the port will be deactivated.".
This lead to, as the error message oh so clearly states, that I were unable to use one of the USB-ports. It also blessed my MacBook with the inability to go into "sleep-mode", because of the short-circuit constantly drawing power through the motherboard.
Now, for one, the strange thing is that I didn't even have any USB-devices connected at the time it happened. Secondly, I never really used the USB-ports for anything inappropriate. Just regular stuff, like a mouse, an iPod cable and an external hard-drive.
Anyway, my MacBook is now in Apple's hands for them to fix and I've received word from the local Apple store, that they're going to replace the motherboard. At first, I was worried that Apple would charge me with this rather expensive service, but I guess Apple's customer support is pretty fair on that part - lucky me
Now, I would just like to hear if anyone else have been experiencing these problems, since I've been able to look up a few similar ones with the same error-message on google.
Thanks in advance.
Brian
