    My MacBook Air 2015 was shipped to a company for repairs and now it appears to have a MBA 2015 serial number! The Apple website does not recognise any of the serial numbers.

    Constant Kernel Panics – userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from com.apple.WindowServer

    I have been receiving these kernel panics multiple times a day (the computer freezes, followed by an eventual crash/restart if I don't do a hard shut down first). It occurs most frequently when waking the computer from sleep. Often I'll go to the bathroom and return to my computer, only to see...
