MacBook Pro sits in 'fridge for Tiger install

What kind of sleezy self-obsessed creepy middle-aged stalker weirdo keeps his hardware in the fridge? Huh? HUH?

My 12" powerbook have also stopped mount dvds too and i cant burn anylonger... anyone know what i could do? :...(

We see a lot of MBP 15" come back with the same problem, we have to take them apart and reseat the optical drive cable onto the logic board, it then works fine. Its seems to be a common issue.

2 years ago, I've built a system with 2 fans on the back with Podiumpad system.
I can send some pics, that's very effective I have no more heat problem since then

Oh, come on...he stuck the thing in the fridge because he prefers chilled Apples.

Apple builds another lousy laptop? Color me shocked. Many people suggested he return it to Apple. That was the funniest line I have read in months.

Those people have never dealt with Apple who considers any problem or issue the blame of wear and tear by the user.

Yes, it is the idiots who bought the machine the problem and not Cupertino.

Actually, I have had to do this before also, but not with a Mac.

I had a toshiba laptop last year (i recently made the switch with a new 20in iMac) and the fan had broken, and I needed to use the restore disk and go back to factory settings (I dont remember why).

The computer wouldnt last more than 1 minute into the restore process without overheating and shutting down, so I decided to try putting it in the fridge.

It got about halfway done, when my brain kicked in and I realized that moisture isnt good for electronics at all.

:/

I went and got the fan repaired with a certified technician and had them reinstall windows.

Long story short, I love my iMac.

He should have called Applecare to send him an Apple iFridge(TM) for the fix, throw in a case of beer for his troubles.

He should have called Applecare and had them send a replacement disk. I too had a problem with my 1st MBP where the OS X install disk could not be mounted, but worked fine with other machines.

I had the disk replaced, and bingo, worked right off the bat. As an owner of 2 MBPs, I must say that all of the whining about heat is exagerated. Yes, they are warm. But not so hot that it needs to be out in the fridge. The heat issue has been blown way out of proportion.

Now the processor whine issue, though, is another story.

I have a Macbook Pro and can install Tiger without any issues at all... seems to mee his unit is either defective or he is lieing to get his story on blogs. I'm betting the latter.
