What are you putting your hands up there for anyway?Īs for the fan noises, are you sure it's not the DVD drive that you're hearing? That's the only thing that really sounds like a fan starting up and shutting down quickly that I know of. in other words it's a feature, not a bug. My problem was (along with the whining sound, which has been fixed in my replacement) a small dent that was on the corner of the computer when it shipped.Īs for the heat "problem," I think that the area above the FKeys is designed to dissipate heat. I live in the US so I don't know if they'd do that for you but it's worth a shot to ask. They'll be crediting us back when I return the old one. I was able to just use the Migration Assistant to bring everything over to my new computer. Apple let my dad put it on his credit card so I could have both the new one and the old one at the same time. Well I just got my MacBook Pro replacement. There is talk of replacing the notebooks, but I live in Northern Ireland where there are no Apple stores - so if this becomes a reality, am I to ship the notebook off again, at my own expense, waiting for ages to get a replacement? More importantly, how can I use the Notebook in the mean time, knowing that I might have to send it off, to be replaced with a new model with a new hard drive?ĭoes anybody know about any solid info on MBP replacements? I'm going to keep a close eye on the steps Apple take to rectify these issues, and options they offer to customers, like myself, who already own a MacBook Pro. Could this be linked to the heat problem? It's not too loud, but distracting nonetheless. This noise would happen every 15 seconds or so. However, I've only recently started to notice a new issue - recently, I've started to notice a sound which I can only describe as a hard drive - or fan - trying to started up, but failing after a couple of seconds. The squealing noise on my machine appears to only happen when I remove the power lead - it is completely silent when plugged into the main supply. One of my main concerns is the heat problem - I can't keep my hand on the area above the F-keys for an extended amount of time, it just becomes too painful.
