Removing the battery will halve the performance .. I have not tested this myself, but according to many postings .. MB or MBP will clock-down the speed when running only via adapter.

What the best way then? Well, take the adapter off the macbook when you're not using it .. put the macbook to sleep and take the adapter off.. you need once in a while do a recalibration i.e. run the macbook on the battery till it shut off itself (going into deep sleep or something...) .. leave it for five hours .. and recharge it back to full. Best is to run it on battery at least once a day ..

Here is the URL on how to do recalibration:

how hot is hot actually?
becoz IMO 80++ celcius still consider normal temperature, provided u doing heavy task job..

hi i hav a noob question

how much is a installation dvd for snow leopard? and where is the cheapest place to buy it?

can a macbook white 2.4GHz wif 2GB ram support SL as currently this MBW was installed wif Win7 by my bro

thx

good!

the snow leopard DVD costs RM109, every shop will sell the same price. if u wanna find cheaper, try ur luck at garage sales section

all intel Mac can support SL dun worry

Lets see i just surf the net and mail and my fan speed is 6000+ at all times..
I play war3 in bootcamp and its so hot it black screen...

But thanks to dvlzplayground the problem is fixed..

6000rpm?

tq bro. I went back to the shop and complained. Sales rep tried to brush it off but after I threatened him that I will report to Apple Malaysia, he returned my RM50. He claims all his shops are selling the same price but I told him he's overcharging by RM50 more than other resellers. I also discovered that they sell the new silver coloured remote control RM30 more expensive than other resellers. I think Mac users should be careful when buying from these Mac City shops and always compare their price with other resellers.

may i ask which Mac City?

Yeah 6500rpm for exact..
Running at full speed at all times..
But now its all ok!

wow only RM109, sure or not
its cheaper than Win7 ?
thanks bro

100%
Rm109 is retail price

eeer he's talking about magic mouse actually wuhuh..

LOL the overcharge thing u quoted was about magic mouse dude... the one asking about SL is another guy

plus SL family pack is rm80 extra not rm50

anyway yeah SL is cheaper than windows 7 plus, SL dun have basic version la, home la ultimate la... rm109 is for the best version already

abt SL if i wan the family pack its rm109 + rm80?

wats the difference between the family and non family pack?

i tot SL can be installed into numerous mac machines without activation like Windows

my mac book now is installed wif Win7 , so any pointers if i wanna install SL back into my mac?

juz by pressing the C button as the dvd boots up???
pls advice
thanks

family pack is Rm189. the difference is family pack contains 5 licenses (or is it 3? someone help clarify on this), meaning u can legally install on 5 macs. and yes, u can use a single DVD to install on multiple macs without activation, it's just that it's against the EULA.

do u mean ur macbook now only has windows7 with no mac partition? if u still have a mac partition, then just boot into OSX, insert the SL dvd n juz follow the instructions, very easy

if no mac partition, boot up, quickly insert DVD and press C before the chime. when the dvd loads, at the top go to Utilities > Disk Utility. create a partition for OSX. im not sure if this works though, nvr did it myself. if u dont mind getting rid of the windows partition, juz format the disk (obviously u shud copy ur files somewhere else 1st) n install SL

How come there are so many Mac City when there's only one which is at 1 Utama??

i will definately follow your guide when i install SL.
now my mac only hav one partition, ie Win7 and i gonna wipe clean the HDD to do a clean SL install
thanks bro


and btw, currently my mac's Win7 dont detect any bluetooth support, if i install back SL, will bluetooth be able to use again as i guess my 2.4GHz mac comes wif bluetooth module rite?

oic. if u gonna wipe then no problem. juz go into disk utility as i mentioned, select ur drive on the left (the drive, not the volume), go to the Erase tab, n erase then proceed with the SL installation. youtube has a view videos u can watch to have some idea

all macs have bluetooth module. it doesnt work in win7 probably because of no driver support. it should work fine in OSX. did it work before u install win7?

I'm not sure if it is a hardware problem or not.

But I read something online about a ribbon cable getting burnt/bend coz of the expanding battery...etc. Don't know if that is my problem or not?

I don't really know what trigger's the problem but I suspect it is heat. When I am in my cold room and on my bed, the problem is less frequent. But in the dining area, the problem is bigger.

The trackpad becomes unresponsive and it shakes and goes abit crazy around the screen and opens things up by itself, sort of possessed. Putting my entire palm on the trackpad for 5 seconds cures the problem, but the problem comes back. Does any one know why???


and also, if I bring it to KLCC Machines tomorrow (sunday), will they be open and can they fix it on the spot??

anyone tried stuffs like AppleSauce or stuff from PodShop to remove the scratches on your MBW?
