ok so after a week of using it I notice the whinning noise on my macbok there is also a loud hiss from my adapter. Besides the whinning noises my macbook is perfect. Should I get apple to look at my macbook I heard they are replacing logic boards. The whine really doesn't bother me but if I don't get it fix is it going to damage my computer....also does the whine happen because of a defective part or what? I really don't wanna exchange for another one if there is nothing PHYSICALLY wrong with my macbook.
Got a tip for us?

Yea harm done, if they take it they will keep it for weeks. I don't really care about the noise I can barely notice it but I just want to know if it is a defect or not I don't want it to die on me months from now.bep207 said:
If you don't want the laptop away for weeks, and if you don't really care, then you can just opt not to send it back. Send it back at a later date when you can afford to be without your MB for a week or two. (like if you take a vacation) Eventually, though, get that thing fixed. At very least, it's going to hurt your resale value down the road.
My MB Prob
I would say yes, My MacBook was a Gem till it started to smudge up. I sent it in the first time for them to replace the smudging, then when i got it back there was no video on the screen something was pinching the video wire when they replaced the bezel and the bezel outside the keyboard, then when i got it back after that the left side of the mouse button or "clicker" wouldnt work you had to hit it very hard to execute. So i sent it back for that took about a week and half and come to find out today they said i had a bad logic board and they were going to replace it. I'll let everyone know the details when i get it back in a day or so.

The whine will not damage your machine. I called Apple about a similar issue. Mine is quiet so I see no reason to send it back. The girl told me that it will do no damage to your machine. As for the power adapeter, I send that back and get a new magsafe connector. Depending on how loud it is, I wouldn't worry about it.

Agreed. No harm in letting Apple take a look at the machine and see if they can't fix anything, especially that hissing noise.
ok thx thats what I want to know I really don't care about the noise on my computer. But the adapter I might get it exchange do they stock these in the back at a brick and motar store?aaron.lee2006 said:
