I just hope for the sake of Apple that this is a rare case. I realize that my computer is a lemon and that it's not normal to have to go through all this hassle in getting it repaired, however since there are a lot of new mac users since the new ad compain started (myself included), not too many of them will be willing to put up with 8 months of their new computer not working properly before they count their losses and go back to having a PC. Finally when they do get the solution and replace the piece of hardware that I've been telling them all along to replace, it stops the freezing but at the same time I get another defective part as well as them breaking my right speaker. I'm sorry if I seem unreasonable or impatient but I'm really starting to get fed up with this! I mean, I'm a PC technician myself and I knew exactly what was wrong with it plus offered my suggestion but it still took me 7 1/2 months to prove to them that this is a hardware problem and for them to start working on a solution. Also, I should be getting a phone call in a week to tell me that it's fixed I took my mac to the apple store for the 5th time and the Genius there heard the noise and said that he's going to replace the board again as well as the top panel on the notebook. It sounds like a fan but I don't know why it would start and stop. it might last for a minute or two then it's fine for another couple minutes or so. It's wierd though because it starts and stops without any pattern. The downside is that because I'm young I can hear the squeel but I know that others can't so I want to figure out what it is so atleast I can tell them just in case they can't hear it. I've made an appointment at mac genius for tomorrow and going to take it back to get them to look at it again.

So I headed back and booted up my notebook and now it has this high pitch squeel and to top this off, the right speaker doesn't work. So I headed over to the Apple store and picked it up they told me to try to use my notebook as much as possible to and see if I can get it to freeze.

They told me that there weren't very many repairs to do so they had time for mine right away. They told me that it would take upto five days to replace the motherboard and only 4 hours later they called saying it was ready.

Why imac keeps freezing
