Hey guys,
I just want to apologise if any of my issues below actually need to be elsewhere.
I have 2 problems, and they are starting to bug me quite a bit.
Problem 1.)
There is some serious fragmentation on my hard disk, i attempted to get rid of it by running a iDefrag boot disk, i waited 4+ hours only for like, 30% of the drive to be de-fragmented, the rest seemed to remain, there were no errors either, the fragmentation was just still there! Any suggestions on what to do? I believe, that due to this issue, when im watching movies, or streaming anything, stuttering occurs, is that due to the HDD briefly searching for the rest of whatever data im accessing?
Problem 2.)
The backlight occasionally flickers on random occasions. I assume the inverter board is on its way out? By flicker i mean its like someone is changing the brightness from full, to maybe 95%? The flickers are like real small changes, like i turned the brightness down 1 notch. However its very noticeable.
-Any help in the above problems would be appreciated.
If it helps, my system details are as follows:
MacBook - 2006 Model
Intel GMA 950 GPU
Intel Core Duo Processor @ 2GHz
2GB RAM
320GB Hard Disk (34GB Of space remains)
* 2 Partitions, 1 is Windows XP (80GB), the rest is for OS X.
OS: Snow Leopard 10.6.7
* System software is all up to date.
