charge impossible will 96% one la..if u fully charge it shows 100%..

that's because of malaysian power sockets just use the extended three-pin plug cable (the long one). shud be fine.

actually calibrating doesnt improve the battery at all, there's nothing u can do to do that. it's an irreversible process, just like how u cannot increase the fuel in ur car no matter what u do, apart from filling up.

calibration just lets the computer to have more accurate data about ur battery. it involves going from full charge to no charge at all so ur computer can recognize how much is 100% charge and how much is 0% charge. actual battery health will always decrease if u use it

Is the static electric bad for the laptop? or its juz nothing to be concerned of?

not sure but it IS annoying

But at the same time it wards off random groping hands on the laptop. *nods*

Ten points for positive thinking

Haha. Oh well, I'm using a casing and a mouse so I just keep my hands off the alu body. =)

Hi guys. New Macbook Pro user for the last 3 weeks. MBP 15 2.66 GHz i7, with 4gb RAM, 500gb 7200rpm HDD, and also opted for the hi-res glossy screen. Hope you guys can help me if there's any problems. Thanks!

=) here some thing happen to me b4 but not on my macbook instead it happen on my PC
long long time ago my pc suddenly hav very serious electric static on the surface of the chassic (full alu chassic)
so i tot is my power plug leakage den i checked everything but it still no way to solve.
after few weeks in a morning my pc cannot turn on, and after send to services , the services person told me tat my ram spoiled.
so anyway i doesnt really think it not a bad thing.

dont angry la bro. blur worried newbie here. so i ran it with battery for awhile before charging it again. now back to 100%. all good.

I had a whitescreen with a folder logo and a question mark in it. I reckon its a hard drive failure? Pressed the power button again and its fine now. anything that i need to know of guys? Using a 2009 MBW btw.

take out your mac osx disc from your disc docket, boot up with that and try to see if there is any harddisk mounted on your mac through disk utility

What do you mean by hard disk mounted on my mac? Well I do have a WD desktop ext HDD for my time machine always attached to my MBW.

Meaning by booting up from the disc it can detect hard disk inside your mac or not

thank you viper, shanecross: if its your HDD thats faulty then better get a new one unless you are still under warranty, and reinstall the OS and retrieve backups from the EXT WD

ahh i see, aite guys. thanks . will try that and see what happens.

since it only happened once maybe u can just shrug it off

btw if u boot from the OSX DVD, u can do a disk repair. when the dvd loads, go to Utilities at the top n find disk utility. assuming it detects ur internal hard drive and it shows up on the left panel, u can select it and click on "Repair Disk" on the right
