I called the 1800 number, and since when power adapter is a wear & tear? Anyway, went to vrtech this morning and need to wait for Tuesday for replacement.

i been told by apple authorised service engineer
burnt fuse is not within apple warranty, consider wear and tear, cuz it will only happen on your unreliable power source
(i didnt mean power adapter is wear and tear, just the fuse issue)

get a keyboard protector taht has ventilation holes, for me a keyboard protector is a no no, cause the keyboard is where the heat dispenses, if you cover it up then your machine will overheat.

it's not because of the sensitivity. sometimes the mouse cursor just doesnt wanna move at all.

using logitech M505 and also the wired microsoft mouse also same thing... doh.gif

try update your sc2
the last update was meant to fix this issue (as it written)

there is one way:
connect your mac to monitor, then close the lid. Your mac will go into standby. use your mouse or keyboard to wake you computer up

open back your lid, your lid is closed

thanks xaw5126 for the explanation. and yes, you got it right, i use 1600*900 it is clearer now if 2 separated display.

just that it is still blur if i use "mirror display" setting.

p/s so there's nothing to do with vga to hdmi converter or hdmi cable right...?
*
when you mirror, definitely it will blur
big screen will follow small screen resolution
nothing to do with mac, this is how computer works

Max speed is at 480mbps, 57 megabyte per second. but overhead already 10-15% as per USB 2.0 specs. Unless you go firewire.

well this is no mac problem
cuz it's USB
go for firewire type
what car is it? CF? or SD?

Lol,bcos it will b cheaper is it?
I'm aiming the 15" 1xd
But the price is 2 expensive to me sad.gif

how previous gen you wan?
the batch before i series processors?

to be honest, get a new one, serve you better, cuz clearly, 15" mbp users must be quite a performance demanded.
buy old tech could serve you 2 years? then 2 years later another one?

unless you're not into performance, else go for new one

just a piece of advise, just look into getting whenever you're ready and buy what's on the market

used items, sometimes do depends on luck and i wan you to see this trend
most of the time, new update will have slightly change in price (drop the most)
even you get a refurbished unit, it wont guarantee a super good deal, sometimes you might just spend a bit more to get what's latest on market

it's actually down to what's the resolution
too high resolution is unreadable like those 15"/16" with full HD
words are tiny! horrible for reading
