So last Saturday night my Mac Mini blew up (literally, I think the noise the power supply made blowing up woke me up.<\/p>\n
I took my Mac Mini to the Knox Street Apple store, and as always they took their own sweet time. <\/p>\n
Before I go further, I am an experienced Ham Radio operator (Extra class) and Computer Scientist and I know darn well if a power supply explodes to the point that you can smell the burnt component, more than the power supply is gone.<\/p>\n
Now, if they had replaced the Mac Mini on the spot, I would have bought something else, and I was leaning towards a notebook or iPod, hadn’t decided. I am quite serious about this.<\/p>\n
However, they lost their chance and it gets worse. i looked up the service status yesterday and it was still showing "Service in Process". Good news is that it now showing "Service Complete".<\/p>\n
I had to call and ask the status on day 7 of the estimated repair. They did replace the Mac Mini with a new computer BUT they should have called me and told me that they were replacing it as soon as they opened it up. I NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAD TO CALL! And the status should have not been showing "In Service", but it should have told me to pick it up.<\/p>\n
Very unhappy with the Apple Store experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
