I think it's better to have an actual copy. If he rip it wrong way you will have more trouble than helping it. Did you call AppleCare like I suggested?

You paid so much partly it's for their service, if you don't make use of it, it's a waste. Why so painfully download/upload/burn??? Apple might able to help you out with a solution, talk to them.

Call Malaysia -> international call
Call Rusiia -> local domestic??
Your choice. They will all forwarded to call centre and they might be anywhere in the world. I once spoken with an indian, a turkish and an american ofcourse.

You have 2 options:
- Wait for apple to release update and hope will remedy the problem.
- Bring to service center and let them ponder on the problem. Most likely won't help unless you get AppleCare agree to let you have a replacement unit.

Get a better quality casing/ ext drive?

No, I'm giving you suggestion. Since no one know exactly what went wrong with the MBP and Nvidia chips. Let's hope if they ever decide to replace your unit it's doesn't come with the same problem.

Try formatting in Mac format.

NFN, you need to format it into Mac format. Read my previous reply on HDD formatting.

Check if your casing say Mac OS support?
Else try other ports or other cable.

Most casing should work on Mac.
Check if the casing need extra power. Some Mac doesn't deliver enough power on USB ports. So you need to find a way to pump in extra power.

Good for you. Thx for sharing.

Be sure you keep a backup of the kext and the Mac OS DVD handy when things goes wrong. Also, backup your data. Refer to Masume reply where he got issues with USB kext.

So it's up to you to take the risk or not.
I can't be sure what will happen if you replace it. But I can tell you the kext files are meant to drive each crucial component on your mac.

I once had bad kext and the mac won't boot after grey apple logo.

If you can la. Read what happened to Masume?

Sorry I meant member Masamune.

If you're worried, why not just move on to another casing/ drive?

Well, consider as a lesson to check next time if the add-on you getting are really Mac compatible.

That's normal, nothing wrong with your keyboard.

Apple allows laptop users to use the Fn (function) key to make double-use of this useful keyset (the F keys). To configure this, open the keyboard and mouse preference pane and uncheck "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys". After that, you won't have to use the Fn key to do volume up or other functionality.

Good luck!

TS you got PM.

Don't remember there's a way to disable it over software. But you can plug out the ribbon cable. That will remove your keyboard & power button as well. Best is to replace your top case.

What model of Mac is it?

errr.... take a photos and show us??

Yeap, if it's a concern for you, send it in and explain your concern. Best to send direct to service center (not retailers).
