Seems like my fan stopped spinning ....

Tried removing my battery and hold the power button for 5 sec, seems to do nothing, so can i assume that it is hardware failure?

Put in the Software DVD 1, restart holding "D", and run the test.
If it failed at Fan test then yes, its time to replace your fan.

Yeah send back to me if you can, I won't charge you for the installation, just the fan. Your fan is not in good shape to begin with, that's why it vibrate (uneven rotation).

Try restart, holding "option". Once you see your HDD icon start pressing eject key repeatly.
If the disc still stuck. Your optical drive bay might be mis-aligned or deformed due to the fall.

Hi guys,

I hope I can find answer to this small issue. At home I connect my Macbook Pro 13 to my PC desktop and share folders and drivers using SMB://Computer Name. The problem is when my Macbook goes to sleep and wake up I lose the connection to my desktop and I can't reconnect at all until i restart the macbook. There is not error messages or anything. Does anybody know something about this?

Thanks

eh i thought only the aluminium models got this problem. try using the three-pronged extension cable plug thing (sorry i dont know what's the name haha) instead of plugging the power brick to the outlet. the longer one got proper grounding

White one shouldn't have this problem.

Try experiment on different location with different power points. If it still give you the issue call AppleCare.

Hi... I have a mac mini, cant remember which generation, but i bought it about 2 years ago.

recently i tried using the superdrive to read a DVD, but realised that it would not suck in the disc, then i checked the eject sign at the top and it says there is no drive sad.gif

I hardly ever use the optical drive on my mini and have no idea when it failed..

can it be repaired? or would it need replacement?

thanks

The drive will usually died only
of heavy usage. Bit that's will still recognize by mac os. Just that it will not read disc or difficult ejecting. Please check your PM.

Any idea which product code for 2GB RAM is compatible for the Late2009 Mac Mini? 3rd party RAMs like Corsair, Mushkin, Kingston, etc..

The specific product code or the RAM would definitely help in finding the exact RAM.

I'm looking forward for this upgrade as soon as i get hold of my mini.

Thanks.

Just ask if you can return the RAM in case of incompatible. Get it from C-Zone Lowyat they will know if the RAM works or not. Cause even with the same code, we get different RAM chip sometime.

Have you try booting into the DVD 1?
When does the KP happened?
Did you happen to install any new software?
Did anything happen to your MacBook?

Well, always connect to charger when you do software update.

When you boot from DVD1 do not do erase install. As soon as you selected language and you can see the Apple bar on top. Go to Utilities > Disk Utility.

Select your harddisk on left then select "Repair Permission" on bottom.

If this doesn't recover, you have to do a data recovery from another machine then re-install Mac OSX.

Why no backup?
