QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Apr 17 2010, 11:56 PM) that was one year ago haha. managed to trade it in to get my current MBP Thanks for the info !!  fan sound is normal... if ur mac is doing heavy stuff, processor will heat up, and the fan will increase it's speed (more noisy) to cool the processor down. when u're not doing anything, the speed will be slow (around 2000rpm) so u wont hear anything but if ur mac is idle, but the fan still very loud, then need to clean already lah. go to www.ifixit.com n search for ur mac. for the current macbooks, pretty easy...juz take out a few screws and open the bottom panel, u can see the fan already. juz clean it lah make sure u use the right screwdriver though, n be careful with the other components. u need to clean the rear vents as well.miniDisplayPort or miniDVI depends on which macbook model are you using. the old macbook white need miniDVI, the newer ones need miniDP.  I will search for the guide for cleaning the fan~ from ifixit.com ~ cheers Mine is late 2009 mbp 13" ... so i guess it should be mini DP. My question is are there any alternatives besides using this adapter to connect to projector ? |

Hey,
I have been trying to calibrate my battery to ensure the the battery capacity remain high but to no avail. It has been continuously decreasing and I have ran out of idea how to increase the battery capacity or maintain it ? I calibrate my battery like 3 times a week whereby I drain my battery down to 0% . If what im doing right now is inappropriate, please advise me ! THanks |
