To Those That Still Aren’t Sure
It’s been over a month and I’m still up and running perfectly after sending my week 21 black macbook in for repair. Apple put in a new heatsink and logic board. Here’s what I have done so far and it has made my experience with my machine as good as it should have been when I first bought it:
1. Download all the updates as soon as you get your machine back from repairs (yes, that includes 10.4.8 and the FMC firmware update).
2. Go to the following link and download the FanControl 1.1 software to have full control over your fan speed (I recommend speeding up your fans between 500 and 1,000rpm). Now you can actually use your macbook on your lap!!! Note: this gui installs in your system preferences menu:
