On Saturday I picked up my MacBook from Tekserve. It was hard/interesting to be without a computer for a week.

Actually, it was kind of a relief. I was still able to blog and write. But in a greatly limited way. That was a good thing. I needed a break from it all. It being: writing and blogging.

Turns out my Mac was a LEMON. It was from the early batch of MacBook production and some of those problems randomly turn themselves OFF.

When i told the technician my problem he said, "I think I know exactly what’s wrong with your computer." He checked the serial number. Viola. Mine is one from the early batch, alright.

In some cases it’s a software problem. In rare cases it’s a hardware problem. Mine was a hardware and software problem.

Problem is fixed. I’m glad I didn’t fumble around. I’m glad I didn’t suffer with it for too long. Good lesson. Act fast  when you have a problem. Especially when you have a lemon. 

My lemon is all better now. The motherboard has been replaced. I am happy, too. Back to writing and blogging…
