Ok, so my mbp has been working pretty good for the last year, still love it. But recently, my usb ports have been slowing down down down... using a usb flash drive 4gb sandisk cruzer it took roughly 40-50 minutes to move 147mb of files last night... that is totally crap. I know the usb drive is working, i can move 60mb+ in seconds on my friends macbooks, and new mbps, and still fairly quickly on my ibook, so it isn't the usb drive. I've looked and couldn't find any way to actually measure the speed of the port. I am using the 2nd port down on the left side of the machine if you want to know. I've also had trouble with the usb port on the right side as well (takes just as long). I have tried resetting my pram settings the last time this slowdown occurred (about a month ago). Any ideas?
Also while I have your attention, to me it looks like the backlight on the left side of my screen may be failing... any tests for that? (other than perception?)
Should I just find time to visit the apple store and get them to check it out as i'm still under applecare?
Thanks for the advice
