scottgroovez Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 When you say the warranty ran out 11th October, was that the year warranty? By law we actually get 2 years warranty, but of course manufacturers don't want people to know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 apparently its a common fault with the 1st gen macbook airs? my warranty just ran out on the 11th of october :\Apple are normally pretty good when it comes to common faults.Book yourself an appointment at your local apple store's genius bar, Take your Air along with you and see if there has been an extension of the warranty on that particular problem. You may be pleasently surprised! I've just had the keyboard and top-case replaced on my BlackMacbook Free of charge despite it being somewhere between 2.5 and 3 years old !

Tryin to get the most out of this puppy iTunes is good for movies...Al has already given you a list of apps. You don't get anything particularly decent for free hence low responses. Adium is probably the best free bit of software. I also use Skype for video chats to mates with Macs/PC's or whatever. Handbrake is good for ripping DVD's and converting video files.That's about it.

hunid-brake Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 no its a dead one (black). stuck pixels is when one of the three sub pixels is stuck on a single colour (seen when on a black background) where as this is a black dot which means all sub pixels arent getting any charge or have no liquid crystal in em. unfixable apparently. tried "pixel fixer" widget anyway and it didnt do shizzle so pretty annoyed.

nfbr Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) I've noticed my battery life is slightly reduced since installing snow leopard?*edit* Nope, Turns out it was Microsoft Excel using 81% of my processor gobbling the juice! Typical of microsoft hey. Edited November 8, 2009 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjblyth Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Lol yeah, sorry Don't suppose there's anybody on here that's upgraded a unibody from Leopard to Snow Leopard? Since doing it my battery is coincidentally saying "Service Battery!" and only holds charge for about 30 minutes. No way am I paying £95+ for a new one just yet.I upgraded, but I did a fresh install onto a new hard drive at the same time so might not be same scenario...But my unibody is happy with SL and touch wood, so far I've had no battery problems. In fact, I would go as far as to say I'm seeing improved battery life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
