Macbook Pro 16" 2019 model Recall

<<. I can't keep backup every single day with fear I may lose data. >>

oh YES, you can! Backup as often as about every HOUR!

that is what Time Machine does for you!

Time machine works quietly and automatically in the background, without interrupting your regular work, and only saves the incremental changes (after the first full backup). Time machine backs up every connected drive that is in a Mac compatible format. it can not back up Windows format drives.

Time Machine's "claim to fame" is that it is the backup that gets done, because it does not ruin performance of the rest of the computer while doing its backup operations. You do not have to set aside a "Special Time" when you only do backups. When you need it, your Time machine Backup is much more likely to be there.

"Macbook Pro 16" 2019 model Recall: My MPB 16" 2019 model had logic board failure 3 times within 3 years. Apple is saying I have to get my logic board replace with my expenses.[...]"

-------

Based on Personal Experience...

Getting the Logic Board Replaced:

As for getting this serviced, do you have AppleCare+ with this? Apple gives you a one-year, out-of-the-box limited warranty for defective items. Either way (warranty-covered or not), have Apple perform the replacement. If there are no nearby stores, or if you cannot get to one on your own, then have Apple ship you a box. You'd ship it to them, and they include instructions of what to do before sending it in.

A Bit of a Story:

During the days of COVID, I had to send in my 2017 15" MBP 11 times, due to a loose connection between the LogicBoard and the screen. Being an absolutely defective device(nothing on my part), and patient, Apple gave me a free $2,500 USD upgrade, for just the price of the AppleCare+ I purchased with it.

'When a new computer MUST be supplied to you'' is based on LOCAL laws, which in my State are called "Lemon Laws". They were implemented to deal with un-repairable automobiles.

In my state, you must have experienced several unsuccessful attempts at repair within a certain short period, and/or had your car in the shop and not available for your used for certain number of days.

A new failure after a successful repair, such as you have experienced, Starts the clock over.

Hi, Phalgun it’s been my experience that Apple, Inc can and may replace a Mac product after 3 unsuccessful repairs, where the cost of continued repair is more than replacing it outright,,, so, be patient, be polite and save all your paperwork + documents … call Apple Support for help on this one either via their 1-800 number or their chat feature ( I think they have one of those… )

anyways that’s all I have

There may be no cost. If it’s defective, then it’s nothing in you. But, only Apple could deems it as such.

Hate the idea of connecting an external drive each time? Then DON'T -- use a network connection to a drive on your network.

I keep my wife's MacBook Pro backups completely up to date by using two different 'shared backup destination' drives on a different Mac we have in the basement. She never has to think about backups unless they fail to complete and she gets an error message.

Consumer products, their warranties, and their extended warranties work in a predictable way.

Warrant-able implies, but does not guarantee, High Quality:

Consumer product makers build high quality products. You can tell because the manufacturer is willing to stand by their products and repair or replace them (but only for defects in materials or workmanship) at manufacturers expense for a stated warranty period.

For Apple Macs in most countries, that period is one year. That is the total responsibility Apple or any manufacturer has to you under law. Assumptions about additional responsibility of Apple or any other consumer product-maker's products working longer than the warranty period are not accurate. The amount you paid for the product has no bearing on this. The rules are the same for a car costing US$20,000 or more.

Electro-mechanical devices fail at random, arbitrary, and capricious times.

The most frequent reason for most failures is 'just because'.

Your specific failure is most likely caused by an advanced scientific principle called ...

... 'bad luck'.

--------

If you want a really substantial lesson how this this works (or more precisely how this stops working) own an older used automobile.

Over a very large sample of computers, Apple brand computers are rated the most reliable in surveys year after year conducted by Consumer Reports.

Apple sells about 20 million Macs a year. That means they ship around 57,000 units a DAY. You have a sample of one or two. That does not swing the needle on reliability in the slightest.

There are newer, much more capable Macs available with the advent of Apple-silicon Macs. if you buy a new one, you can turn the tables on Apple for not much money.

Next time you buy a Mac, buy AppleCare PLUS at the same time. Then for the first three years, renewable, if the screen gets cracked you pay only the US$100 technician time, and Apple has to eat the cost of the display. A catastrophic failure like "fell down the stairs" costs only US$250 co-pay instead of the about $1000 retail repair cost.

But you have to sign up within 60 days of purchase, and Apple reserves the right to inspect your Mac if not bought at time of purchase. If you could buy AppleCare PLUS  any time, only users with failures would buy it, and that would ruin the 'insurance effect'.

You seemed to be bitter about your experience with Apple products, suggesting that they deserved to be recalled. I was suggesting a different alternative, where if it breaks down, Apple pays and you get the last laugh.

Same happened to me 2019 MacBook Pro model. 2nd logic board has crashed 😩 crazy!! And Apple really are not interested in taking any responsibility for their big price tag, poor quality laptops.

Heyy,

Same issue with my 2019 macbook pro i9, bought it in 2019, same issue in 2020, 2021, 2022 and now its dead again. We should honestly do something about this.

Sounds like apple
