It’s been quite a few years since I’ve purchased my MacBook.
MacBook 1,1
Model Version 1, Revision 1.
It’s been though hell and back, with a power adapter that lit on fire, a battery going dead, and a (still un-fixed) dead SuperDrive.
I recently realized that I also have the infamous failing hard drive that was shipped in some, but not all, first revision MacBooks. Yay for me!
This has been a known problem since a few weeks after the MacBooks were released, yet Apple still hasn’t issues any sort of official statement, or recall of its failing products.
I was lucky enough to get my power adapter and battery replaced, but that is only because they likely wanted to avoid any legal issues with A CABLE SMOKING AND SPARKING, CAUSING A FIRE IN A COLLEGE CLASSROOM!
I’ve been lucky enough to not have any major problems with this HDD yet, but I now know it’s only a matter of time before it grinds a hole through its top layer of the platter.
