that is your problem right there, smc cant help you on the windoze side anyway, its a mac only app if i remember correctly.

Only...

But theoretically he can set the fan speed using SMCFanControl on Mac side, then reboot into windows without powering down his MB... (MazeLaughing my ass outL, read this, do not power down)... That should keep the fan speed on SMC-FC setting... I know it works on a Mac Pro, but since I don't Boot Camp on my MBP, I can't be certain if the same applies on portables...

ah thats a safe bet, eh kukunius, apasal want to trade your i7? trade with mine lah

duwan...

wanted bigger screen and expresscard, but dunno if I should opt for Core i7 on it...

i got this d too bad they dont make it anymore for 15inch , well you could always try mudah

Hi all seniors. I am getting my MBP these two days. My dad told me that Pavilion Apple store accept trade in, Is that true?

Hey guys,

My trackpad is not as responsive as before. I havent run the Apple Hardware Test yet. Will do that after this.

But since I bought my beloved MBP from the AppleStore, where should I send it for repairs? Will retail stores accept it or do I have to go to Jalan Yap Kwan Seng myself?

There is no such thing as an "Apple Store" there are apple resellers, two different things. Only Macstudio,Switch,Machiens and Epicenter accept tradeins for now.

nimrod, does your MBP fan speeds up when copying files or watching media files over an external HDD using USB or FireWire...?

EDIT: of course this question is also open to any current MB/MBP users with external HDDs...

hmm well so far on the integrated chip no such problem, the fans are silent havent tried on the dedicated if you know what i mean.

Meh this means I'm gonna have to find a replacement machine for a while

Mine's plugged to a 24" display on clamshell mode, so it's using the dedicated one... whenever i play video or music over external HDD, fan speed goes up to 5200rpm, pretty audible at this speed.. CPU temp went up, but I guess that's normal... but fan speed...

I'd just happened to open the lid without triggering any extended display mode (didn't know I can do that - System Profiler says internal monitor not connected), fan speed went down to 3400rpm... so clamshell mode does trap heat to a certain extent...?

EDIT: Fan speed at 3600+rpm watching a 480p video on external HDD, heavy downloading, and medium browsing...

5200 rpm? Wow... At this point I'd first ask about the ambient temperature and the location of the MBP.

Room temperature high moisture with table fan... MBP is on a table behind my external display...

it's a good thing to know the MBP display can be turned off even with the lid open...

MB white can be open the lid too but first u ve to close it clamshell mode until the display switch off and only u can open it back.

Just curious... how do you define unresponsive...?

I'm not sure if this happens to you guys, but mine has a half second delay in single finger tap... double finger tap to right click is ok, so does trackpad clicking...

xie xie ni

Hmm.. it's 'sticking' when I move the pointer around but working well when I use a mouse. Sometimes it clicks without me clicking - which can be very annoying. Only experienced this since yesterday. Summore my warranty is expiring next week (but lucky I hv ACPP )

Hi. I was just wondering whether it is useful to invest in a Laptop Cooler, since my MBP gets quite warm and the fans are quite loud when I'm converting videos etc.
Also, I'm using a Speck case, so would it help if I took it out? (though it would defeat all purposes of protecting the base T_T)

Another thing : Does using the disc drive often "spoil" it? I'm quite paranoid, since the last MBW I used started randomly rejecting discs after a while.
Thanks for all answers. ^^
