Hello everyone,
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a screen jitter problem with my Mac SE.
I have received a lot of feedback on it, and want to thank those people that
have responded.
Armed with my newly acquired information, I brought my Mac in to be repaired.
The shop had it for a week, did nothing to it save bench testing, and came up
with a result of "Well, that's the way it's supposed to work; they all do
that!". I argued with them to no avail. So, the Mac is back on my desk, with
exactly the same problem it had a week ago.
Several people have replied to me about a third-party replacement fan that
fixes both the noise and screen-jitter problem. I asked the shop tech. if he
would install this fan if I purchased it. He refused, and I don't feel
confident enough to do it myself. By the way, he mumbled something about a
replacement/upgrade fan from the manufacturer, and said my SE had it. I tend
to doubt that, since it is still loud, and the screen is still shaky.
Since the repair shop professes ignorance, I appeal to you net-people that have
had your SEs fixed - can you recommend a shop in the Boston/southern New
Hampshire area that knows how to perform a fix properly? I'm getting
desperate!
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
