Those really sound like problems one would come across if there was an SMC issue. Have you tried resetting it? RAM issues cause so many of these problems, and totally can bring a system to a stop if...

"Delaminating" is an issue that plagues many laptops(as well as phones) with glass screens that use anti-reflective coatings. If you're out of warranty, one simple solution is to remove all of the...

Wifi cards are pretty resilient little guys. Hard for them to fail, and are one of the most reliable components of a whole computer.

2 possibilities:

1. Broadcom chip is not connected...

Easy way to diagnose this issue:

Run MBP in safe mode. See what you get.
Run MBP with an external monitor. If it's a problem with the integrated Iris graphics, you will have the same problem on...

Are you sure you are trying to boot into safe mode correctly?

Try turning your computer on while connected to an external monitor/TV via HDMI and see if it does anything.

Cleaning dust, assuming there is dust, SHOULD help dissipate heat away from the CPU & GPU. Question is, how are you going to go about doing this? Unless you are going to open it and pull the fan...

The problem is large enough that Apple has acknowledged this issue and put out software updates in an attempt to fix the problem. The i7 processors seem to be running perfectly fine after Apple...

The standard hdds are already recognized as drive0 on the PowerBook(as well as almost ALL computers with 1 HDD slot), so return the pins to how it originally was. It was common for the PowerBook G4s...

Because then you would at least be able to prove that something was missing when you file a fraud claim against the buyer. It's fraud! You can go straight to the police with it. I take a quick...

Hello gang!

Just curious, anyone know if there has been any development or permanent fix on this issue?

I bought a 2013 MacBook Pro retina 13". It's all original, with original box and...

Unfortunately, harvesting scammers do exist out there. Unless you took pictures of the logic board and internals, it's near impossible for anyone on here to tell you if something is missing. Chip...

It came with the original SSD upgrade from Apple. The SSD is old, but I'm not too worried yet since it's really not going to get a lot of use. We'll see how it goes though.

Yes sir! I ordered a new battery from OWC. Trackpad buttons on these MacBook Pros RARELY fail to press or click, so it wasn't something I worried about when buying it. And even if I was wrong, they...

And up next is the heat-sink.

It wasn't a surprise when I took the heat-sink off and discovered that the thermal paste was pretty much dried up into solid clay.

First thing I did was take it apart and clean it with a fine brush and vacuum.
It was actually relatively clean inside. Typical dust in vent/fan shroud, and underneath logic board.

So, one of my goals has always been to buy a 2010 15"/17" MacBook Pro with the hi-res matte screen option to add to my collection. Well, I came across an opportunity to own one for a price that was...

I'm all for pictures and tutorials when you do decide to switch your keyboard :D

Has anyone noticed how there are A LOT of ads posted as search results when searching for something on google? Almost all links show as actual 'ads' or store links! It's SOOOOOO annoying, and is now...

One of the things I love the most about the new MacBook Pros has to be their speaker system! They are some of the best speakers in the business! Clear volume, and great tones no matter what media is...

What I found interesting is the claim of the new Macbook Air not being a redesign, but being able to use the 'new' keyboard. Makes me wonder if this new keyboard is swappable in other MBPd, and if...

Are you sure you did a proper SMC reset? The MagSafe light going from green to amber is an indicator of SMC error. All modern Macbooks with built in batteries have only a "soft-core" SMC reset via...

Fan noise
You mentioned in the previous thread that you tried cleaning the mac pro with compressed air. Problem with compressed air is that you can't control the trajectory of the dust that you are...

I'm glad he's out. His design ideas were long in the tooth a while ago. Excited for the new designs to come!

I don't believe it's exactly the same. Anyways, most that say something like that are too ignorant to know the exact specs of a Mac to know what comparable part they would need to compare it to. Most...
