So, my G4 PowerBook that I got last August had a bit of a flakey display; starting in October or so, every so often, the LCD display would start to grey over. I took it in to the Genius Bar at the Cambridgeside Galleria and the guy thought it was probably a hardware issue, and that it would have to get shipped to the real support place, and so I should probably back up my hard drive. Thing was, when I got it home, it worked fine for 5 months. Couldn’t make the greying thing happen if I wanted to. Then, when we got back from our little Montreal excursion at the beginning of May, it pretty much stopped working altogether, and I could rarely get it to not do the greying thing. But I just didn’t have my act together to do the backup and send it in.

I should have, though. They turned it around in 3 days; I dropped it off at the Apple Store on Sunday at about 4:45pm, and DHL tried to deliver it at 9:08 am on Wednesday. Not bad!

According to the receipt, they replaced the ASSY, INVERTER, PIEZO, TOKIN, PB15″; and they also did some REPAIR: TIGHTEN/LUBRICATE HINGES.

I went from being not so happy that my fancy expensive computer was not working, to impressed at the speedy repair. Let’s see how it holds up.
