MacBook :: Buzzing, Vibrating - How To Fix It
Mar 23, 2010Well, I have a late 2008 13" Macbook Aluminum, (I've had it since Christmas of 2008) and just yesterday, I noticed a weird buzzing-like sound coming from the inside of it. There's also a faint vibrating feel to it. I felt around, and the vibrating feels like it's coming from under the middle of the keyboard more severely. The buzzing occasionally sounds like it's getting faster, and then slower, faster, slower, etc.

Apr 12, 2012My Macs been opend up at apple recently to replace the trackpad - Now i notice the internal speakers seem to be causing the keys on both sides to vibrate at certain frequencies and causing very noticeable distortion. even a simple Skype conversation becomes really bad quality because of the distortion - is this common? Can it be solved in Apple or is it just what Mac speakers are like? I dident think it did it before they opend it up.

MacBook :: Horizontal Bar Changes Color - Screen Looks Like Vibrating Rapidly
Dec 3, 2010I'm getting this horizontal bar that changes colors and sometimes the whole screen image looks like it is vibrating rapidly up and down, I'm utterly at a loss. The model in question is an Early '09 with the 9400M IGP. It just randomly started last night. I've already had a video issue that got fixed, I think it was the GPU

Dec 4, 2006This is going to date you all a lot but I have a powermac g3 (640mb ram, 300mhz) with a 15" apple crt monitor. I moved it into a new room and all of a sudden the display is virbrating slightly. If I switch the refresh rate back to 60 it goes away but then that looks so bad that I have to bump it back up to 70hz. Is there any settings that I can change to fix this vibrating? Like I said, this didn't happen until I moved the computer 20 feet into a neighboring room.

Nov 19, 2009When my new i7 is on my usual desk (where iMac 24" white stood silently before), it sounds like a dishwasher. Or a plane engine. The low, loud vibrating noise drives me so mad I snap. It penetrates my very brain and makes it vibrate. It's audible from another room. In desperation, I raised my Mac and the sound stopped. I put it on the floor, and the machine is silent. Back on desk - airplane engine sound again. What the heck? My desk has been perfect for all my other computers, what's so special about i7?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: Fan Dead
Oct 31, 2010The cooling fan, that is. It had been making a noise for a few months. Today I suddenly noticed a big drop in speed even for basic tasks such as scrolling down browser window. I realised the fan was silent, so I checked with Istat, and the fan was at 0 rpm. I immediately switched off the machine. A very faint smell of burn plastic is perceptible if one sniffs my MacBook. My questions:
- The MB was active without a working fan for 5-10 mins at the most. What are the odds that I cooked some crucial part?
- If I did cook some crucial part, could a technician tell when s/he opens the MB to change the fan?
- How much should I expect to pay (in the UK) for replacing the fan?
I'm trying to figure out whether I should get a new MBP 13''. I was hoping to hold back until the next refresh, as the hardware on the current version isn't that different from what I have in my 2007 MB. Thanks in advance for your help.
MacBook :: 13 Dead Pixels
Jun 17, 2009Tomorrow morning the brand new MBP 13 2.53 goes back to Apple for yet another dead pixel issue! The Staff in my local store are so, so helpful and are always there to help, but this will be my 4th pixel related return. It's a mighty fine machine but I'm beginning to feel like "that guy" who always takes his macs back!
View 12 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: What To Do About Dead Pixels?
Aug 24, 2009I recently noticed 4-5 dead pixels (gray, not fixable with software) on my 1.5 year old MBP (see sig below). Definitely a bummer as I had to go through 2 MBPs when buying this computer just to get one without any dead pixels. I don't know why or when these pixels died. I have AppleCare and I am wondering if Apple will do anything about this. Is there a threshold for repairs (e.g., only 10+ pixels is repairable)? Has anyone ever got a repair/replacement for dead pixels? Is there anything I can myself to fix this problem?

Sep 26, 2009I was using my macbook pro at a client, working fine.I put it in my back and head back to the office and one hour later when I go to wake it from sleep, I notice the pulsing light is not on.The battery still had a charge, so I tried turning it on and all that would happen is a brief blip of the white light and then it would power off. If I held down the power button, I would hear the DVD drive starting up but as soon as I let go, it would power off or if I held it long enough, the light would flash rapidly and then it would power off. I tried resetting the SMC controller, reseating the RAM, different RAM, and even taking the top case off to make sure no cables were loose.

Oct 7, 20091. Six months ago in Thailand MacBook just cut out. Rebooted and had that flashing folder with a question mark. This was all that happened. Did not have OSX discs to run check on HD. Shipped MacBook home.
2. Arrived back in UK. Now Screen will not appear, it flashes for a fraction of a second before switching off. Blank screen is all I get apart from this.
3. Changed HD with my friends from a MacBook Pro. Same thing happened, nothing basically.
4. Put OSX Disc in, now will not eject. I notice that if I let the system boot, I can' say for sure whats happening but the green lights for the capital button etc do not work. Infact I'm pretty sure the Keyboard is not working.
5. There is no sound at start up.

May 14, 2010I have been having issues with my Macbook for the past 2 days. Basically it will freeze for nothing, and any soft i try to run will quit unexpectedly or it wont even start (past the Apple screen).
I ran a FSCK and it says it repaired the errors but the issues remain.
I tried installing Snow leopard, but the install also crashes.
I was told my HD might be dead even though i can still access its content 1 out 5 times i boot the computer.
I cant run a time machine (it gives me an error).
So my question is..is there a safe mode i can boot it to plug in my external hard drive to save my stuff before i buy a new HD?
Thanks !!

Dec 27, 2007I have a macbook which is just over a year old, it has been working flawlessly, however, I shut it down earlier today (normal shutdown) and now when I try to turn it on nothing happens.It is totally dead and unresponsive.The battery is fully charged, I tried another battery from my brothers macbook and it makes no difference, my battery works fine on his macbook.
I have searched online for info and have tried all the various key combinations on start up to get it to book up, but it is still totally dead.
I'm really worried that something majorly bad has happened but I don't know what could have as it has not been touched between the perfect shut down and now, I the last time I used it was a couple of hours ago.
MacBook Pro :: Dead Pixel On The Screen?
Sep 12, 2010I have owned my new MBP for less than 3 months and I have already spotted a dead pixel. It is about 2.5" about the dead center of the monitor. Whenever I have a browser or any other light background up I see it stick out like a sore thumb. I did a search on the forums and saw that Apple has a "policy" regarding these things before they will replace it. The nearest Apple store is 3 hours away and they want me to bring it in. Obviously I don;t want to drive all the way there for them to turn me away. What do you guys think....too OCD? The short amount of time I have owned it though makes me want it fixed...and I can't NOT see it now that I know it's there (yes it's a double negative).

Oct 12, 2010My wife and I always leave our MBP plugged up when we are near a charger. This morning the MBP had been plugged up all night, but the battery was dead. I noticed the light was out on the charger so I went to take it out, but when I touched it it turned red indicating that it was now charging. It turns out it is very finicky and randomly stops charging. Anybody else had problems with their charger? It will be Thursday before I have a chance to get to the Apple store.

MacBook :: Display Going Dead After A Few Minutes?
Jan 25, 2010I've got a white macbook 2.16 I believe. The screen/display will turn on when booted up, but only stay on a few minutes. I got it off craigslist this way. When I first got it, it wouldn't come on at all. I replaced the inverter with one I got off ebay that was probably used. I have tried 4 different inverters in it (all used I think) they all respond the same way. Screen comes on for just a few minutes then the light goes black. If I disconnect the power to the inverter after it shuts off, then reconnect it, it will light up again for a couple seconds only. If I leave it alone, it will come back on after about 20 minutes.
Does this sound like I have a bunch of bad inverters, or a bad lcd screen? It also drives an external monitor flawlessly the whole time and keeps an image displayed on the screen even when the light dies.
