Sick Macbooks - Apple MacBook Problems and Solutions

Like most new models of computer, the MacBooks built during the first few weeks of production have a greater tendancy to exhibit problems. CorbieD has posted a helpful list of frequent issues, and most importantly, how to resolve them. Some of the issues listed are not necessarily early-production issues, but others clearly are. If you've got a MacBook (or want one), check it out.

I have one of these early-production units, but have thus far not experienced any of the listed issues (other than the heat/fan issue that was much improved by installing the firmware update). Some folks like to complain loudly about such issues. To them I say, "Don't buy an early-production product if you can't handle a few hiccups along the way. Let everyone else sort out the issues before you buy."
