QUOTE(miraclecrush @ May 1 2021, 09:56 PM) Hi! Did anyone managed to get their 2017 model of Macbook Pro with display backlight issue (or better known as Flexgate) fixed for free in Malaysia? I'm experiencing the flexgate issue but my model is 2017, not the 2016 that's covered, which is really annoying to see right now. Hoping to hear from anyone with an experience dealing with this! Doubt so, unless still under AppleCare. But do try to speak to a Senior Advisor over the hotline or chat with one. Try to push them for a free or partial paid replacement. Good luck. |

Fire up Apple Chat Support. See any solution from them.

QUOTE(jack2 @ Jun 3 2021, 10:36 AM) Sucking blood  Hi, you mentioned RM5599 means your unit is a 13" MacBook Pro? The battery replacement Apple offered come with the complete top-housing. Which include the keyboard, trackpad, palm-rest casing, touch bar, touch ID (if equipped). Hence they charge insane pricing. But last we aware they are asking around RM1k+ not till RM2k. This also subject to model. Anyway, you can get it done by us at fraction of the cost as we only replace the battery, not the entire housing. |

QUOTE(borneoman1 @ Aug 11 2021, 12:19 PM) Hi, I have an old Macbook Pro 13-inch (mid 2010) that I kept in the cabinet. The last time I turned it on was probably 1—2 years ago. When I turned it on last night, the screen looked like this:  There seems to be some sort of condensation, liquid looking stuff inside the screen. Has anybody gotten this problem? Will it go away or is it permanently gonna be there? Aged LCD will have this issue. The layer inside is melting. It is likely due to heat. There are no cure to this issue. Fogging/ condensation looks different. |

QUOTE(eddyann @ Aug 17 2021, 08:03 AM) I have Macbook Air 2011 and 2017. Running roblox the macbook felt very warm and I checked the temperature it somestimes hit 100C which is very bad despite the fan running at full blast. My 2011 air finally fried with 3 beeps error no boot finally. The unit twice sent for a board repair he said roblox will harm the macbook and could fry the processor solder interconnection which could lead no boot. I was a bit suprise software/games could fry your device. The device are simply not made for such task. You already saw the temperature hit 100ºC and still carry on. The fan and heat sink on the Air are very tiny. The new one doesn't even have a fan. So please, do not let it run over 85ºC. |

QUOTE(Xnet @ Sep 2 2021, 07:05 PM) Imac inaccessible. STOP icon appears - any fix? Went to recovery mode and tried to reinstall OS but it didnt detect SSD. Went to Disk Utilities - SSD is there. If I were to hit First Aid >repair disk will data be wiped off? Either the partition of the virtual drive are broken. Rebuilt from scratch, do not just erase and install. Try and see. Good luck. |

On-board RAM failure are pretty common on early MacBook Air models. There are someone shared some DIY method if you feeling adventurous.

QUOTE(Moutzu @ Jun 13 2022, 02:57 PM) Hi, I om using a vintage MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010). Please advise whether I can run Mas OS High Sierra? Or what should be the optimum OS I should use? Thank you. Hi, High Sierra is the last supported version from Apple. There are method you can install non-supported version. But we do not recommend without upgrading the unit. Just stay on High Sierra. Optimum version should be much older where the Mac still run snappy. |
