the trackpad issue was initially assume the trackpad faulty
after change new top case, the same problem still happened
then change logic board, the problem solved
but then my backlid somehow got problem, it wont din, so change that as well

I noticed this myself too during the early days of owning my MBP. But now I don't feel it anymore though. I never noted/noticed the difference with and without plugging in. However, my brother and my mother still feels this "vibration" (when plugged in, never tested without). Perhaps I got used to it that it doesn't affect me at all now.

Also during the early days I also felt an occasional electric shock from the front edges of my MBP (plugged in). Now I never notice it.

@rheza02,
If U don't need ur Mac when you go overseas, it would be advisable to drop it at the Mac Stores when you're away; that way you won't go without a computer for the 1-2 weeks waiting for the parts to get here and for the computer to be repaired

@MetalZone,
I bet you just got used to it that's all

i hope, i can do that.
i can't live without it. hahahahaha

thanks tinkerbel...

@rheza02,
In that case, my suggestion is for U to send in ur Mac to the Stores just before U go overseas. Tell them to do what is needed and when you get back just go pick it up. I did that the last time and tell U; that's the best arrangement

tinkerbel, when do you want order yours MBP ?
i'm going to take another MBP before i go back.
how long apple store deliver it ??

thanks for ur advice..how abt can i do a partition in my wind xp??

that's possible as well. u need Boot Camp Assistant for that (its built in, not another app). its creates a separate partition on ur harddrive (it wont mess up the OSX partition) then u just have to insert the windows dvd, it will then reboot and start installing windows like any other computer would. when its done, insert the OSX dvd to install drivers (u only need to install a single program that will install all drivers for u, u dont have to install drivers one by one).

if u want to delete the partition, boot camp assistant will let u merge ur harddisk back to a single partition. again, the OSX partition will not be harmed

@rheza02,
Am not sure what U mean by take another MBP before U go back. I plan to place my order within the next few days. The last time I checked, it would take approximately 3 working days to get it delivered; am not sure about now though.

yeah, i mean, i'm going to take new mbp for my father before go back.

@tinkerbel,
I'm just at the Online Apple Store; and Estimated Shipping is Within 24 hrs now instead of 3 days that I saw earlier.

U could always get the MBP off the Stores when U drop urs in for 'servicing'

-Added-
oK.. At the check out cart, it states 3 days estimated shipping on the MBP so I guess it's 3 days. And since I can't use my Amex to make the purchase I'll just go ahead and place the order this weekend

i think i'll need to wait for a couple of weeks b4 the current mbp get preloaded with SL :| or...they need to wait for next refresh for the preloaded thing? O_O

i dont think need to wait for refresh. i'd say give it two weeks or so

you dont have to, apple would already have inserted the uptodate disc on all macs made one month ago or two,it gets typically shipped around these timeframe so the next time the resellers stock up their macs it shuld contain the SL uptodate.

When my MacBook Pro is running with battery, the keyboard light won't lights up and there is no green light on battery indicator on the side..

Anyone knows why?

Just ordered mine today at around 6PM just now ... says that delivery will be most likely be around 7/9 - 9/9 ... another week to wait ... duh ... but i don't mind waiting as long as the SL came preloaded already ... stocks might be coming in from Apple America itself, hence the 1 week wait ...

i not sure about this, maybe put your hand on the isight to check wheter the keyboard light will light or not
and about the "no green light on battery indicator on the side..", i dont know about this.

From what I have found, the keyboard will not light up if the room is too bright. Don't know is this true or not.

And for the green light thing, I just noticed there is a button beside the indicator to press on...

@petrofsky77,
hMm.... now that's kinda long to wait but ah well...... U'll enjoy it when it comes. Did U check if it'll be definitely shipped out with SL?

The keyboard will not light up if it's bright enough even if you try to adjust the brightness by pressing the keys on the keyboard.

The battery indicator will not light up unless you press the button beside it, which will briefly light up to show the battery level and then turn off. It'll also show the battery level when you unplug your power adaptor
