Burn Baby Burn
Yesterday has been a dull day… I was just restructuring a huge part of a web application, with the music in my ears when my screen went black and the mp3 suddenly stops.
For some seconds I was puzzled, because I thought that my MacBook had gone to sleep with no logic reason. I closed the white lid and opened it again, prepared to insert my password again… but nothing happened.
It is known that S**t Happens, so even if it is a Mac, something could have gone wrong. Bad thing to do, but a shutdown is what was required. At least I saved all the modifications before the crash…Â I kept the power button for five seconds and finalli the small white light went off. Then power button again and… and… ok, the white light is there, but all the rest? Where is the typical “Boing” every Mac do while switched on? Where is the apple in the grey background?
I tried to switch on my MacBook in any way, but I fear that what happened is pretty simple: I’ve burnt the motherboard or some other vital part… I mean, what else could have crippled it to prevent it to made its normal sound?
Today I’m going to bring it to a Mac Genius, in Regent Street… I’m trying to take it in the positive way: at least I will be able to make a comparison between the Apple Support for the MacBook to IBM (my t42p received four new motherboards and a new DVD Rom), Compaq (My EVO n800c had two new monitors, one new case, two new CD Drives, one new processor ). I know that like Mida transformed in gold everything he touched, I am able to cripple every computer I use… do you think this is funny? :(
