QUOTE(zergg @ Nov 3 2010, 11:49 PM) im using a white macbook late september 2009. Like @hapa said, its possible that the battery is bulging.having difficulty now in pressing the trackpad. doesnt seem to be responsive to clicking but tapping does work tho.. thanks in advance Recently I have this problem with my MBP. When the MBP is hot, the battery bulged and pushed the trackpad which makes it difficult to be responsive. The cost is battery is damn expensive. |

Somehow I don't like the design of the Magsafe for the new MBA...
I prefer the way they design for the MBP etc. Not sure why Apple design it that way. This photo below is taken with an older MBA but it looks almost the same..  This post has been edited by Edoras: Nov 5 2010, 03:30 PM |
