All of my friends who are using MBA mid-2012 have SSD failures.

Hi @Pedrosomaloco

I'm in Brazil also, facing the same problem.

Where did you send your MBA to repair here in Brazil? Do you have their phone number?

I'm in Londrina,and I got two maintenance contacts from Apple Support (one in Sao Paulo, one in Bauru), but I would like to send to the same place than you. Maybe I'll get a new one too =)

Thanks!

Eu sou de Brasília, levei na applestore de uma loja chamada CTIS. Na verdade acho q não faz muita diferença a loja que vc vai levar, o telefone de onde me ligaram era de uma central da apple nos EUA, os caras da loja não contribuiram em nada.

O que eu fiquei pasmo é que realmente parece que a Apple no Brasil está dando esse tratamento diferenciado em vez de fazer a gente esperar meses!! E parece que em outros lugares isso não acontece!

Se eu fosse vc, levava o seu mac logo, antes que eles reponham os estoques de SSD da toshiba heheh...

Já estou usando o mac novo! depois posta ae o resultado !

I'm on hold with them now to find out if I'm eligible. My MBA's SSD failed 9/21 and the SSD was replaced 9/22 - 10/01, so I'm specifically requesting a refund. How exciting, thanks for sharing!

After half an hour, it sounds like the best way to go about getting your refund (I was all but approved, awaiting confirmation as they needed a copy of the receipt) is to go directly to the place where you had the repair done. Bookmark the above page, or print it out in advance, in case they aren't sure what you're talking about (I had to give the link to the woman I first spoke to, who then escalated me, and finally escalated me again). If you call support, they can't refund your payment for the repair directly, so they will send a check which can take between 4-6 weeks.

Now the question is,

1. What firmware does this update bring?

The original firmware has revision TPSABBF0

After the first update (update 1.0, which is not available anymore.) the revision was TPVABBF0

and i'm curious whether this is really gonna fix this problem. Because even the first update did not solve the issue for the SSDs.

(while I write this post, my friend helped me to figure it out. The new revision is TQAABBF0)

2. Is it only for Toshiba SSDs?

Is you have Samsung or Sandisk SSD and got the firmware update 1.1 as well, please reply here with your before/after firmware/revision version.
