Annuntio Status Computero e suspenzione temporare servizio bloggia

Blog posts of with pictures and videos of my recent trip to Rome and more have been temporarily suspended from last night as my laptop was rushed to the computer workshop with complications after undergoing an elective fan replacement procedure the day before.

It was initially admitted to the workshop on March 19 at Beaumont hospital and had to be transferred to 121 St. Stephen's Green later that afternoon for a checkup. The technician kept it in for monitoring over the easter weekend and it was only discharged on March 26, with a diagnosis of tachycyclic fan speed as a result of a mismatch between the real and read temperature of the internal hardware.

The elective procedure scheduled for March 29 was delayed due to a long waiting list, and it was finally readmitted to the workshop on April Fools day for the procedure. At 2.32pm, I received a call from the lab technician reporting a successful replacement of the logic board and fan that collectively regulate the temperature of the computer. During the procedure she also noted that the memory of the laptop had been replaced with one of greater capacity, and commented that this may have been the cause of the problem, but was highly unlikely. The laptop was discharged at 4pm the same day, minus the battery, which was kept for observation.

Unfortunately during the evening, the laptop ran into complications and the fan malfunctioned. The fan only started when the hardware reached a temperature of 65 degrees, and when it did, emitted a very loud humming sound. As such, it was rushed to the workshop again in the morning and was readmitted for observation. A consult with Apple was requested and it resulted in more diagnostic testing being required to establish the underlying pathology of the problem. The loose fitting fan may require replacement again and so will some other parts of the laptop and because of this, it will probably be kept in over the weekend for close observation prior to the life saving procedures scheduled for early next week.

As for the problem with the weak battery, the workshop is still trying to determine as to why it was running into failure at such a fast speed. The low full charge capacity and voltage in this case is rarely seen in a battery with a cycle count of less than 300. Nonetheless, Apple have admitted a defect on their side as to the manufacturing of many of these batteries and have initiated a battery exchange programme. The current battery was acquired late last year under this program, as the previous battery failed. It looks like a second battery transplantation may be underway as well.

I appreciate your continuous prayers and concerns regarding the condition of my laptop during this difficult period for both my laptop and myself. I will try as best to keep you updated as soon as I get news from the workshop regarding it's status. Do continue to prayer for it's safe recovery. Thank you.
