Dead MacBook

[Shan]

Ok, I know this is totally off topic but since this is the only forum I actually have time for, I need to vent and need advice.
My MacBook Pro has suddenly turned off and can't turn it back on. After spending nearly 2 grand on it and having it only 6 months, I mean what the ****. I phoned apple who apologised for this happening and said they'll fix it but I really don't want them opening up a machine that is more or less brand new and fiddling with it.

If its brand new, then it must be on warranty! So they should fix it without charging any money.

It is under warranty but I really don't want them taking it apart, I'd rather have a new one.

Often they won't take it apart, but instead just give you a new one. I know they do that with iPhone and iPad battery replacements.

What exactly are you asking here? I mean, it's obvious that you need to take it in, there's no other course of action to pursue.

Also, this thread belongs in "off topic discussions", not "start your own topic".

You sure it is a genuine one and not fake? It might look the same but what about inside...

Where did you buy it?

I bought it direct from apple. Anyway you can't activate your warranty with a fake serial number.

That's good news.

I hope you get it fixed soon because the forum needs your valuable posts.

You are a bit paranoid pal I was being serious.

Is that you in your avatar?

He looks familiar, reminds me of a fella in my local market selling dodgy phones..

Apple will sort it man, don't worry about them taking it apart. They are professionals!

Update

Took it to the Apple store yesterday and all it needed was a simple SMC Reset.

If there is a god, I really owe him a prayer of thanks. I was wrought with worry and was losing incredible amounts of sleep. I have a final today too; I am eternally grateful that I can cross your computer troubles off of my list of worries.

That is not his. He is using photo of a Pakistani actor, Shaan.

I'm surprised someone who's so cool, smart, wealthy, attractive, and has a big d*ck would be too ****ing stupid to even try some basic troubleshooting.

Don't worry though, those of us following this thread are still wanting to hear about how when you walked into the store three separate women tried hitting on you.

3 women, I aint that lucky
