i had my logic board replaced once on my early 2008 because the 8600m gt failed. this one i've had for a few months but recently pretty much all videos, even ones i know are flawless, make glitchy graphics and freeze every once in a while. i think my 8600m gt is failing once again. when i do minimize/maximize the animation scrambles too every once in a while. the browsers when scrolling smear text sometimes....


already had logic board, LCD, and super drive replaced. there's a solder point stuck in the glowing apple on the back of the toplid so i could get LCD replaced again and i think 8600m gt is on its way out. i think im going to demand a repalcement laptop whenever the arrandale refresh comes out . when should i call customer support after it comes out? also, the casing sucks. the plastic piece near the arm rest to the left keeps getting a bigger gap and the edge near the battery latch is raised so on some surfaces, typing makes the laptop wobble back and forth (which isnt how it used to be).
