What problem? If graphic components issue is not related to software, so reformat won't help.

thanks wei, i went to mac authorised dealers, they all just suggest me to let them do it for,at everything and charge me rm250.00, not resourcefull they are.

hi guys,

wanna ask, if i were to connect my old imac mid 2011 version to optoma hd 25 projector, will i b able to get the 3D from it?

Hi, I have a problem with my MacBook Air (11" late 2010 1.4 GHz). The problem is it would not start.

My 2-year old son spilled his grape-flavoured cultured milk on the keyboard, and it seeped in. My Mac was still able to run. Then I installed some updates so I shut it down (not restart). Then I tried to switch it on using the power button at top-right, it would not turn on.

There is no sound at all, fan is not running. When I charge it, the charger still responds by illuminating orange light until a few hours then it turned green (which indicates battery is fully charged).

I tore my MacBook apart (took a lot of effort finding the pentalobe screwdriver), detached everything (logic board, SSD, fan, everything) and swabbed every sticky part with 95% alcohol (ethanol or ethyl alcohol) and cloth (the one for glasses/spectacles). Then I assembled it back, tried to switch it on (both with charger connected and not connected) but to no avail.

I sent it to Machines Suria KLCC, an authorized Apple service provider. I told them what happened. After a week, they said that I need to replace my keyboard, logic board (i.e. MacBook's motherboard) and touch pad. I asked for the method of diagnosis, and they said they'll test it by replacing a part with a known-good part.

Somehow I am highly suspicious that they did not perform that replacement of part with a known-good part. I suspected that because I told them what happened, they immediately assumed the logic board and the keyboard need to be replaced.

I paid the RM60 cancellation fee and took back my MacBook.

I suspect that the problem is with my power button, but how to confirm it?

Any Apple service provider (authorized or not authorized, I don't mind) that can show in front of me that it is really the logic board and/or the keyboard and/or the track pad is kaput? At least I have the comfort of paying what I know really needs replacement.

buy new laptop

Have no experience with 3D projection. I presume it depends highly on what media & player you using.

@unpronounciable
First thing, after a liquid spill and try to turn it on and charge it is the worst thing you can do. Next time, unplug the battery and perform cleaning or send to service immediately. We was told done Service Center will reject any unit with liquid damage. No comment on what they've done for you or not. But you should send to another place for checking.

Hi wei,

Thanks for the reply. Now that you mentioned it, I guess it was not the wisest of things to do. But my MacBook actually ran a few hours after the spill (half-day or so) before I shut it down, so I thought the liquid did not seep in. Only after I shut it down, I can't turn it back on.

Any place you know that I can send my MacBook for another diagnosis?

Hello, I have 1 question..The situation is like here, I already quit all my applications then shut down. Sometimes, when i open back my macbook, the finder is already open and pop out at desktop. is it normal ? 😰

Hmm, maybe you did not close the Finder window when you shut it down ?

When you shut down your Mac, uncheck the 'Reopen windows when logging back in" box.

Hmm, can we quit Finder window ??

If you want to have "Quit Finder" option enabled in menu bar, type the command below in Terminal



Hit enter and proceed with the command below



And press enter.

Ah i see, thank you townshend. I already solve the problem by your ealier solution. I need to close all my finder first hehe.. now it's okay.. thank you again
