Apples! get your apples here!

I’ve been contemplating on selling my Powerbook. Not because I want or need to, but because I’ve been lucky enough to have most of the parts replaced in the past month under warranty. Taking into account the whole factor of depreciation, I figured that regardless of my needs, now is the best time to sell it because of its reconditioned state.

Spread the word.

Battery-talk

I was able to get my replacement battery for my powerbook and the replacement battery grip for my 20D today. It all happened at the last-minute. My supplier said the battery was available for pick-up. I thought I should call Canon as well to check if the grip was done as well (since both were in the same area).

Luckily, both were ready. Plus the driver wasn’t doing anything today, which was a godsend. There’s nothng better than not having to think about parking in those parts of Makati.

Also, the bottom case of my powerbook will be replaced as well… I swear, I could start selling this powerbook at a really good price as it practically will be in a refurbished condition. Any takers?

Awesome week

It was an extremely eventful week.

First of all, I wasn’t dicking around like I usually do since I was subcontracted again by a new employer. I only have to put in 5 hours a day and report at 10am to go over the tasks for the day and 10pm to sign-off. It started as a one week trial, but it seems that I’ve just finished my second week, so I guess he likes what I’m doing.

Next was that I had shelves inspired by IKEA/Bo Concept mounted on my wall. Now I have more storage space… space I so badly needed.

Of the last 48 hours

Now you see it – now you don’t

Today was pretty boring – which wasn’t supposed to be the case since I got my powerbook back yesterday. But was pulled out again today.

Apparently when they said they’d do a full diagnostics check – they meant the opposite. I eventually opened up the laptop’s backplate and was staring down at two 512MB DIMMs – which is correct. So why do I mention it? Because the OS is only reporting 512MB of RAM instead of a gig! At least they were commited to replacing the logic board.

Once that’s done, I will now be able to enumerate the stuff that hasn’t been replaced:

  1. Superdrive.
  2. LCD shell (the LCD itself has been replaced)
  3. Keyboard.
  4. All inner-components except for the logic board.
  5. Battery.
  6. RAM DIMMs

Can’t help but wonder if I had just saved all of those, and just asked for a new MacBook or something hehehe – I can dream can’t I? Sobrang na-sulit ko na yung warranty. – and still got a whole year to go! Read More
