Well Apple are being bastards and trying to say that it’s my fault that the ethernet port has come adrift from the logic board (meaning I need a whole new logic board) – this is the second time that this has happened!
I think that the ethernet port just isn’t robust enough to cope with being constantly connected and disconnected – as you do if its a laptop!
D’oh!
So I’m going back to the original dealer, who seems to think she can sway the techies and the powers that be to replace it still under warranty – then I think I’ll get an airport… no plugging and unplugging that way!
