Much better than 5 years ago
Several years ago, my Mom’s original iBook (the blue toilet lid looking ones) got goofed up - I broke one tiny piece of a keyboard key spring while upgrading a hard drive or something. LIterally, it was a tiny wishbone piece about 6mm long - I just needed a new one of those and I could fix the rest. Could I get that from Apple? Nope - it was $400 to get the entire keyboard replaced - the only option offered - that was my last Apple laptop repair experience.
Fast forward, I was in a car wreck at the very end of last year (talk about going out with a bang) that rolled the car - everything inside went on Tumble Dry for a few seconds.
Ever since then, I’ve had a persnickety problem with the WiFi on my first gen Macbook (2GHz black model) - once it warmed up, the usable WiFi range would drop down to just a few feet - I had to sit in arm’s reach of the Time Capsule to get a signal. No couch surfing, no bed email - bummer.
Read on to see how things have improved.
