<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2008 and Early 2009: case on the back of the screen is unglued]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I dropped my Early 2009 MacBook Pro (don’t ask)</p>

<p>The case on the back of the screen seems to have come unglued at one corner. When I close the screen one corner doesn’t sit flush. You can lift the flap up enough to see the glue that was meant to be holding it together. Is there a way of re-glueing this back? Or any other suggestions?</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update" class="header">Update</h3></div>

<p>As you can see the screen is fine, still attached to computer, but the actual case or shell of it has come away.</p>

<p>When I pry it open a little it is possible to see where the glue was which stuck it down. Do you think I should try to glue it back? When I squeeze the lid down gently it fits back into place. If I were to glue it back is there a special glue I should use? A heat resistant one?</p>

<p>cheers</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I can't put a disc in, there is something blocking me from putting one in, right at the front, and there isn't a disc in it - i have tried rebooting, restarting, ejecting (even though there isn't a disc in it), etc.  It did this before, and fixed itself somehow, but it's not budging now.  Feels mechanical, like some part of the eject mechanism is stuck on eject and not going back in???</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Has anyone else had this issue where the headphone jack gets stuck in digital out mode?</p>

<p>My speakers are disabled (except for the chime sound when booting), the sound pref panel only allows me to select 'Digital Out' for sound output, and a red light shines out of the jack. Headphones work when I plug 'em in.</p>

<p>I've found other discussions out there about this (such as: <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1367226" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" title="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1367226">http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa...</a>), but so far I haven't had much luck with suggestions found there.</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Air 13" Mid 2011: Keyboard Intermittently Non Responsive - Top row of Qwerty only]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>in the past three months my MacBook and has developed an intermittent problem which has become more frequent.</p>

<p>I now I have to either use my Bluetooth keyboard or dictation!!</p>

<p>It is just the top row of letters, QWERTYUIo...  P works!</p>

<p>If I move the keyboard problem, if I type repeatedly and seemingly fill the keyboard buffer the problem goes away.</p>

<p>I have taken my MacBook air to the genius bar, and after running diagnostics they found no hardware problems.</p>

<p>My Mac is running OS X 10.10.5</p>

<p>It's a mid 2011 13 inch 1.8 GHz Intel core I7, with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM</p>

<p>I've tried resetting the PRAM ram, no luck. Similarly the SMC reset.</p>

<p>Everything else runs fine, so I'm reluctant to go buy new machine when this feels like it's a bug.</p>

<p>If anyone has any suggestions, hints or tips - I would be eternally grateful!</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar Late 2016: Horizontal lines on display unless lid half closed]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>This is my work computer that lives in my drawer. No wear and tear to speak of (other than opening and closing the lid). Opened the lid mid-day one day and horizontal lines completely cover the display.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/HH5IlZGvbOpfIPAm.standard" width="282" height="211" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/HH5IlZGvbOpfIPAm.full&quot;, '', 'width=640,height=480')" /></div>

<p>If I slowly close the lid to about half way, the lines will disappear.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/gLL4oBx6ZDvPSLLO.standard" width="282" height="211" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/gLL4oBx6ZDvPSLLO.full&quot;, '', 'width=640,height=480')" /></div>

<p>Only to reappear when the lid is opened again. Obviously a connection problem. This is a work computer and the repair shop quoted work $3000+ for this repair. Ludicrous. Also, no apple care was purchased so this barely-more-than-a-year-old top of the line Apple computer is suddenly worthless.</p>

<p>I'm not afraid to open the case, but could someone direct me to the cable that I should unseat and reseat, or perhaps even replace?</p>

<p>Any help greatly appreciated.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I have never had a problem with this machine until 2 months ago when it began to crash badly (black screen) and frequently. I found one answer -- to disable switching between ordinary graphics and hi quality graphics. I disabled the switching so that the hi quality graphics is always in use and the crashing went nearly to zero. I also disconnected the 2nd monitor I was using. But I am still experiencing random seeming crashes and the reports seem to indicate graphics problems. Is anything to be done? or am I looking at a total replacement? (I also took it to the local Genius Bar and as was reported here, their tests did not detect any problem!)</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2008 and Early 2009: How to repair a bent corner of the aluminum lid?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Long story short, I accidentally dropped my MacBook Pro. It hit the ground and bent the corner of the aluminum of the lid.  My computer works fine and the screen is fine, so this is merely a cosmetic question.  How can I bend it back?  Since it is aluminum I am guessing that I should be able to bend this back and solve my issue.  For a $2000 computer designed with aesthetics as part of the appeal, I would like to fix this without getting ripped off $600 by apple.</p>

<p>I am sure this happens everyday, so this is not a knew question, but I am still curious if there is a DIY fix.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone know why its becoming nearly impossible to do fresh installs of OS-X on older Mac Systems.</p>

<p>I have had a collection of various versions of OS-X installs set up on USB sticks. Have been using them with no bother for the past 5 + years. In the last 6-12 months they have all stopped working.</p>

<p>When I try to re-burn them and use them the Mac system is saying the install has become corrupt.</p>

<p>The current issue is with a customers MacBook Pro, the 500GB mechanical HDD has died. Have fitted a 480GB SSD and tried using the internet recovery to install Mountain Lion.</p>

<p>After formatting the drive and starting the install i get a timer stating its going to take -2,393,938,938 and 8 minutes. After about 2mins it pops up saying Can’t download the additional components needed to install Mac OS-X. I have tried it with a standard mechanical HDD as well as the SSD.</p>
