Hi Rob,
After I had two Logic Boards replaced in my previous MacBook Pro, I experienced
some weird things.
I guess you have tried deleting the Finder Preferences?
1. Open a Finder window and navigate to Home > Library > Preferences folder.
2. Trash the file "com.apple.finder.plist"
3. Perform one of the following tasks:
Log out, then in again.
Relaunch the Finder by choosing Force Quit from the Apple menu, selecting
Finder, then clicking the Relaunch button.
4. Empty the Trash.
Cheers,
Ronni
