yea i searched almost 20 hardware stores in JB already but none have the #00 size screwdriver.
i bought OWC memory online, tats y need to change ownself.
now headache, bought memory but cannot upgrade, i think only option is to send to apple resellers or repair centers but i guess they're gonna charge anyway although its for minor thingy only.

i have seen same set, but when i compare, cannot use. the screw might go loose if we insist on unscrewing.

the right size screwdriver for the btm screws as shown in many tutorials and also OWC videos is size #00.
i didnt know at 1st and bought the normal rm3-4 screwdriver set from normal hardware shop only because the smallest size inside the set is already very small.
but turns out the smallest size is only size #0, i tried to use to open but really cannot. otherwise if u force to open the screws will surely go loose.

LOl till now i havent found the right one yet, so maybe if ur gonna buy upgrading products from pc stores, better ask them do for u.

im not sure if PH00 and #00 is the same size.
but i got compare the size with the btm screw of the mbp is cannot lar.
but u can ask the seller 1st before buying to be on the safe side.
if u bought do share with us!

bro, where u bought the stanley set?
and how much is it?

there's this techno tools that sells it online for RM12.06 + RM10 delivery fee.
but i think you can get it at a much cheaper price at hardware stores.

fellow forumers from apple discussion forum are asking early 2011 mbp to install gfxcardstatus and run the fish test.

guys u think its safe to do so?

ya this happens to mine too..even with mine 8gb memory the mbp will lag too..
any1 who knows how to lower the inactive memory? =D

bro, im running on 2011 i7 2.3 model with 8Gb memory stock HDD, but when i run PS5, sometimes its still abit laggy, will this problem be solved if i use SSD instead?

[quote=tarpaucase,Apr 11 2011, 01:31 PM]
What kind of files and file sizes are you working on in PS5 that makes it laggy?
That's kinda top of the line MBP lol.. if still lag I don't know what else you can do.. doubt SSD will help that much aside from speeding up your load times or unless you run like a gajillion apps at once

yeah lol, my filesize is around 30mb-100mb, running PS5 + a few safari browsing only, non other things.
will it be affected by change of memory? cos i just changed from 4gb to 8gb recently.

wad u said earlier is true, regret didnt changed to stock SSD cos initially thought 128gb not enuf, but with 1tb ex HDD support it turns out to b enuf.

bro the reason i dowan bootcamp to use windows is bcos many of my frens who did always gets viral threats.
so wanna keep it clean with OSX. =D

bro blueberry,

the other day u recommended me vuze download engine remember?

i already dl and i found a website that teaches to add plugin to auto TV.
which they say can auto dl the series you want every week automatically.
but when i follow the steps the plugin cannot work.

http://www.tv-rss.net/

wondering if ur using any plugins?
Or any other bros using vuze too?

For the past 2 days straight, im experiencing abnormal fan speed and temperature change with my 2011 17" mbp.
with temperature from 48 degrees jump straight up to 80 degrees and fan from 1999rpm to almost 5000rpm, and the fans become really really loud,
but after like 1 minute it stops and the temperature and rpm drops back to usual rate.

may i know if this is normal or not or if any other bros having same issue??

yah but mine only opening safari with about 3 tabs and PS for ACR with 200+ images only.
the CPU temp goes up to 90 degrees, then drops back after few mins.

have u called apple center to let them know bout the issue already?

i've got flash player for safari plug-in running though, but previously i have lots of safari tabs going on + PS + LR also nvr have such problems occur.
when it happened, CPU usage was 50+% and memory was 50+% also, and inactive memory was like 3gb+, so memory usage wasnt inadequate right?

at tat moment i was charging my mbp, it was not charging for a second, and then charging again back and forth.
when i opened screen recording to record down so that can send over to apple center, everything went back normal, sigh!
