It is not DOA.

It does not have a cracked screen.

It is fucking massive.

HDD Failure Permalink

Apple Added more than a year ago

I had the original HDD fail in my MacBook two days ago. I replaced it with a new Seagate 2.5" SATA 5400RPM 320GB drive yesterday. Luckily I had my work backed up in git repos and my documents via rsync to the Mac Mini.

Macbook Screen Flicker Permalink

Apple Added more than a year ago

For months now my Macbook (2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) has been suffering from screen flicker.

My Macbook isn't Gen 1 like some of the complaints - but it's also not faring as badly as some of those reports either. My flicker only happens at a certain screen angle. If I change it or even alter it a tiny bit forward then back to the same position it seems to stop the problem.

The computer is almost 2 years old now so I doubt I'll be attempting to get it fixed - I'll just live with the small screen adjustment I have to do every now and then.

Update: the flicker, which seems to be a fast switch between brightness levels, disappears when I put the laptop's brightness level down to two notches below maximum! Interesting...
