  1. Ratio of cows to churches in this town so far appears to be 1:1. There are a LOT of cows. Send help.
  2. Traffic poops.
  3. Oh one dead pixel. In the middle of my screen. "We will exchange it." -my Apple Haiku
  4. It's cute how both Macs have happy faces on the Transfer screen. Inaccurate, but cute. http://yfrog.com/0x9fvj
  5. @NightGod yup, few HOURS was all I got out of it. And just like that, the laptop becomes a desktop.
  6. $1200 to fix my old Macbook Pro. My NEW Macbook Pro better be worth the extra $700. Here kids... use this nice binder clip.
  7. @honkhonkGOOSE Thanks, my paperclip solution is sure to win me some sort of Apple Design Award. Hope the prize is GOOD!
  8. And THIS is the way to solve my problem for $0.25 :( http://yfrog.com/5dp7xj
  9. Well, I found this video: http://tr.im/qt8Q to take apart the LCD casing. Am I brave/desperate enough to try THAT trick at home?
  10. @samerfarha thanks for the iFixIt idea, though- it certainly worked for switching out the dead hard drive on Monday, so it was a good lead.
  11. @jmbaute Pressing along the sides of the frame definitely "fixes" it, so I'm guessing the frame is bent just slightly so that makes sense.
  12. @samerfarha Yeah thank you, it has the replacement instructions for the whole assembly (that $800 part) but not to take THAT part apart.
  13. @jmbaute Promise no sarcasm, fairly desperate to NOT go buy a new one right now after I just fixed this one!
  14. $800 for the display assembly. There's no way to get in between the case and screen where something is obviously just loose?? :(
  15. @perlchyk and no amount of knocking is gonna make it tight again, eh? It's like a bad vagina, then. Fuck.
  16. @samerfarha yeah but my AppleCare is no more. The Genius will tell me "buy a new one."
  17. @phyllisstein But I JUST finished replacing the hard drive and reinstalling EVERYTHING. Think they'll take the 4yo in trade for a new one?
  18. Sad Lazy Twitter: What's it mean when pressing on the left side of the LCD "fixes" the screen? It gets all screwy as soon as I let go :(
  19. Awakened by the sound of the 4yo knocking my MBPro onto the floor. Display is displaying, uh, stripes? NOW I get a new one, right? RIGHT?
  20. Somewhere around lunch, I realized my kids officially had birthday cake for dinner last night. Thankfully chocolate IS a food group.
