Comment, comment, this should not happen.
My laptop crapped out again. It’s back now, after a new logic board. At least it’s working for the time being. I wasn’t exactly confident that a second logic board replacement would fix it. I mean, the tech basically said, “That shouldn’t happen,” when I told him what was going on.
Basically, it would boot up chug along for a few days and randomly lock up. Then the weird part, the screen would go into a test pattern mode. Black, white, red, green, blue, then a couple black and white test patterns. Because I’m a nerd, here’s a movie of the laptop in the act.
The good news is that the Apple store turned it around inside of 24 hours and just one more major repair wins me a new laptop.
Update: I made WordPress make the video an enclosure in the feed. Woo, woo! I’m a podcaster.
Update, again: Apparently you have to be subscribed to the RSS2 feed for it to actually work, not the Atom feed.
