As an Apple Certified Technician I can assure you that if you sent that
machine to my shop I wouldn't have looked at that printout for more than a
second and then I would have gone about my merry way troubleshooting it with
*real* utilities. Not lightweight consumer stuff like Techtool. Real techs
almost never use Techtool. Ironic naming?
I missed the first part of the thread...what did they end up replacing? It
would be one of 4 things.
Logic board. HD data cable. HD. Reinstall OS.
I'm not sure what they replaced. All I know is that they sent it back with my Crucial RAM in a baggie and a note saying that my hard drive problems were caused by 3rd party RAM because all of the problems stopped when they took out the RAM.
Except that they also either replaced the OS or replaced the HD, because it came back with a clean install of 10.3.4. So they clearly did something besides just taking out the RAM and running the tests.
I'm hoping that they replaced the hard drive first.
So I'm going to run a week or so without the extra RAM and see if there are any problems, and if not, I'll put it back in and see if it does cause any problems.
