tink.. u killed 2 batts so soon? How is that possible? You're using Alu MB?

@Superman7,
I'm currently using the 1st Gen MBP. A couple of months after I made the purchase I found I had some batt issues so I sent it back to get a new one claimed; nothing happened and when my batt starting acting weird I'd oredi surpassed the 12 month warranty but since I'd made a complain previously + had AppleCare, Apple decided to replace the batt. That was probably about a year ago.

Now, my batt is facing some issues problem again; this is what iStatPro has to say about my battery health *siGh*



Based on total cycles, my battery health shouldn't be 28%. But ah well.. since I'm giving up this MBP soon I don't really care. Instead, I'm now backing up me stuff and prepping to make my purchase on the new MBP; though I don't quite like the black borders

Giving up...?

Can I be the lucky person to receive your ol' MBP for free...?

hey guys

i have problem with my trackpad (late 2008 umbp), i can't click anymore, but tap works.
can i bring it this problem to Machines store...?, how their service, is it good ?
how long its usually take ?
thanks..

@rheza02,
Minimum 5 days to a week. If it's a part problem, part needs to be ordered in before anything can be done Best U get it replaced ASAP

i worry they will take to fix it over 2 weeks, i need to going overseas in 10 days.
any suggestion ?

It's the current/electricity that made your finger feel that way.
This happens when the powerpoint/extension that you plugged in, has not been earthed well.

Use 3-pins. If after using 3-pins, you can still feel it. Check your extension/powerpoint. Likely it has problem earthing the electricity.
External harddisk which is powered by another power plug, can send current through your finger, because the powerpoint that you plug your mb/mbp's power brick in, got problem.

@rheza02,
If indeed a part is needed to be ordered in, the Shop can only give you an estimated time frame. Alternatively, do it when you're back from overseas or if you're going overseas for good; get it changed there

thanks tinkerbel, will do it after i am back

get 15inch, you can get it without the black frame

whats problem is it ?, why logic board, lcd, top case need to replaced ?

@cRazYee,
Er.. both 13" and 15" also got the black border lah; it's the piece of 'whatever it is (glass?) to protect the screen, apparently.

for 15" you can get it without blackborder by order antiglare LCD

@rheza02,
Oh I see.. I haven't quite seen that before but thanks for the information. Guess I'll haf to make do with the black order; am kinda quite fed up with the 15" weight so I rather go with a 13" Just timing my purchase now

i wan to ask if i use mini display port ------> vga using mac book pro 13 inch output to Benq 22inch full hd lcd, how big is the maximum resolution i will get?

depends on ur lcd. there's a max allowed by Apple, u can refer to the product details page in their web site. i think quite large la, definitely more than 1900 range. and most lcd only hv up to 1900 anyway

Its not limited by Apple , but limited by your graphics card power and the amount of VRAM

hi newbie here, js wondering if i would like to install VMware fusion for win XP is it necessary to do another partition for tat particular drive?! Is VMware fusion the most common use virtual drive?
thanks for reading...alot more to learn...

no need. that's the nice thing about virtual machines, u dont need to mess around with partitions and formatting and stuff. virtual machines kinda boots another OS on top of a 'fake' (hence the name virtual) system.

it will create a file that contains the whole OS, as if its another computer. if one day u want to remove it, juz delete the file. no hard disk erase or anything. very simple to use, n a great way to 'experiment' with other OS

other alternatives include Parallels Desktop and Sun VirtualBox (free). in my opinion, parallels is the best well worth the money

Yup Dude Bingo! thats y im trying to explained..
i think this is cause by power adapter that charged the MBP although I have switch off my machines.

If i unplug the power adapter the slight "vibration" will stop....even my external hdd under firewire...

Grounding issue is not a problem at all. Coz i dont feel any static shock at all...im using Belkin Surge Master

P/S: Do u guys unplug the power adapter after u switch off the laptop?
