MacBook :: White Unibody Macbook Cleaning Trick

Apr 4, 2010

i noticed that my bottom of my new macbook started to get quite dirty. mostly from hands and not surfaces because I clean all the surfaces before putting down my computer... ANYWAY, I thought I'm gonna try something different than iKlear. I grabbed my make-up remover. NOT to mistaken for nail polish remover. Make-up remover doesn't have any harsh chemicals. and OH MY GOD, it worked so well. So use make-up remover on a soft cloth or cotton pads, that's what i use, to clean your bottom case! I would like to hear what you all think of this I've been doing it since about a week after getting my Macbook. The only spots I cannot remove is the the four corners. I don't think there is away around those pressure spots.

MacBook Pro :: Cleaning (Unibody) - Finding Easy Way

Nov 30, 2008

This thread is geared towards MB/MBP owners, (specifically those with the late 2008) models. Its very easy to add stain-art to the cosmetics of any laptop. Drops of soup love to introduce themselves to the trackpad and rain drops may bounce off your jacket onto the screen on a wet day. If you're like me, you're heavily bothered by the slightest imperfection and hesitant to clean it, especially the screen.

MacBook :: White Unibody Surface Smudging

Jan 10, 2010

I have a 15" unibody pro, and when it's all cleaned and polished it looks absolutely stunning but quickly it becomes covered in smudges, fingerprints etc. It shows every little spec of dirt. It drives me insane, I'm constantly trying to clean it. It's so bad I'm considering selling it and buying a white one unless the white one is just as bad. From what I remember owning an older white macbook, it's wasn't as bad.

MacBook Pro :: Reapplied Thermal Paste To Old (pre-unibody) White MacBook?

Jun 10, 2010

I have a ~2 month old 13" MacBook Pro (specs in sig). Several hours ago, I reapplied thermal paste to my old (pre-unibody) white MacBook and I am THRILLED with the results. I have a thread about it here: [URL] My white MB runs so cool, that I prefer using it, rather than my MBP.

I would replace the stock thermal paste with Arctic Silver Ceramique, but I am concerned about my warranty possibly being voided. Another reason that I wouldn't do this to my MBP is that my controlling mom will not let me do this to my new computer. If I can get any evidence from any of you that this will not adversely affect my computer or my warranty, I may be able to convince her to allow me to reapply the thermal paste.

MacBook :: White Unibody Bottom Plate Colour Change?

Jan 25, 2010

The sleeve I keep my laptop in got wet tonight and now the bottom of my macbook is a weird grey/green/yellow colour. The sleeve is by logiix. I can't find the product online but the inside of the sleeve is micro-fibre-ish kind of material... I took some pictures but the quality is really bad, i took it from my cellphone.... I'm wondering if there's anyway to clean it up or do i have to live with it forever... Why does this happen? Might Apple cover it?

MacBook :: White Macbook (non-unibody)/20 Hours Of Life?

Nov 29, 2010

So i have the mid 2007 (i think) non unibody white macbook.

Yesterday after some normal usage i noticed the battery had only 30 minutes left even though it had 94% left, also the Service battery Now message had appeared

This was odd cause even though my mac is quite old a few days before the battery was lasting a normal 4-5 hour charge.

after leaving it charging over night after trying to recalibrate the battery(i dont think it actually ran all the way down as it lasted minutes while not on battery power even though it was 99%), resetting the pram, nvram and SMC, the battery now reports 20 hours of life left, but the "Replace now" message came on.

now obviously i would be ok with 20 hours of life left, but its had 20 hours left for 30 minutes an hasnt decreased

Ive googled and searched the forums but couldnt find an answer ...

MacBook Pro :: Super Drive Cleaning - With Cleaning Disc?

Jun 18, 2009

I have the dreaded " unexpected error occured. (Error code 0x8002006E)" problem.

Basically it doesn't want to burn DVDs ( fine on CDs though ).

I've read various ways to fix this such as zapping pram, SMC reset etc. and none worked. I also read that a cleaning disc might do the job.

So my question is, are these discs safe in a MacbookPro machine? And as I recall these discs have little bristles on one side - which way up should they go ( facing up or down )?

Mac :: Way To Trick My MacBook Pro Into Thinking It's On Ethernet?

Jul 8, 2010

I have OnLive, which if you don't know what that means, take a nice read here. [URL]/Anyway, the gist is that you can play almost any game, playable on a mac or no, max settings from another host computer. My MacBook Pro can now play Crysis maximum settings, in OSx. So, to do this you need a minimum of 5mb/s and as you can see by my speed test result, I far exceed this.Here is my speedtest.net results.(yes this was a wifi test)Can I do something with the Terminal, or otherwise to get my MBP or at least OnLive to think I am on Ethernet and avoid this

MacBook Pro :: Way To Trick Macbook Pro Into Thinking It Deteted A Display?

Dec 9, 2009

I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 and I am trying to connect it to an Insignia HDtv through the VGA port (I have a DVI to VGA adapter). It will detect it as the proper display when I use a short VGA cable with all the pins. But when I use my 15 ft long VGA cable that has 1 pin missing (i'm guessing that the pin is used for detecting displays) it detects is as a "VGA display". when i use the short cable in 1080p it takes up the whole screen as it is supposed to, but when I use the long cable it doesn't take up the whole screen.I connect my macbook pro to the HDtv using the short cable. Then I disconnect the VGA cable from the DVI adapter. Then I connect the long cable to the DVI adapter. problem solved.

MacBook Air :: Rev B Keyboard Cleaning?

Jan 25, 2010

I would just like to ask whether it is worth the effort to take apart my MBA rev B myself to try and clean under the keyboard (I have a number of keys that are loosing clickyness and it's starting to affect the typing) or sending the whole thing straight to Apple and let them sort it out (I can't really afford to send it in a week like last time (for hinge issue) which is why I was considering doing it myself. I was thinking of cleaning the top as well. My MBA has a hard life. Since I was digging around in there do you all think its worth replacing the CPU gel as well? My MBA JUST about runs youtube, it stutters with 480p sometimes (won't run 720p without lagging horrifically and certainly not 1080p). Temps are about 60-65 C just web browsing, msn, skype and iTunes, and run into the high 70s mid 80s while watching flash. Everything else works great : ) (except 1 screw fell out the bottom).

MacBook :: Why Would Exhaust Be 0 RPM After Fan Cleaning

Jun 30, 2014

The fan was rattling so loud forever so I cleaned it. Unfortunately I broke 3 blades.

then the noise completely stopped, so I was happy, but soon found out its probably not working because newly downloaded Istat shows exhaust: 0rpm.

i opened mac again to check wiring, connection etc.

still 0 rpm...does this happen often?
