Condensation has caused my HARD MacBook Pro disk fail?

I am the owner of my MacBook Pro 17 inch available mid-2010, which resulted in the failure of hard drive for the SECOND TIME IN 6 YEARS.  I replaced the hard drive and brought it to my local Apple store, where they performed an installation of OSX El captain.  I used the time-machine for about a year back.

I had a keyboard cover on what I didn't for years to end, nor I shook with her for awhile.  After retiring, I noticed there is a lot of Condensation (Moisture), at the top of the keyboard.  My hard drive went dead twice so far, both times that I did not remove my keyboard cover until two days ago.

The printed letter 'A' on the keyboard seems to have SCRUBS OFF a little, if I tap each letter oh-so-often.  The letter 'A' is just above my hard drive - Go Figure!

In conclusion, I will never use a keyboard cover again.

  1. So not a condensation result in my hard drive not?
  2. Is a rubbed off button a good thing to look for, to be WARY of condensation occurring?
  3. A reflection as to what else to use to propel my keyboard from dust to settle in?

Duration of the guarantee for new hard drives are usually three years. Your failure rate is not alarming. Hard drive mechanisms are very complex. Rupture may be caused by a wide variety of issues.

wear of the CAP key arrives. E, R, S and T are the most frequently used English letters, but has a scope on the side of your left pinky, so wear should be expected.

keyboards produced in the last decade use more key switches and no longer have an electrical contact inside. Keys are arranged along the son of line and column, and the changes subtle capacitance indicate what key has been pressed.

Your fear of disrupting the dirt key mechanisms is baseless, because there is no electricity to get grime more.

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

  • Disk compatibility HARD MacBook Pro end 2010... SATA?

    I have the mid-late 2010 15 "Macbook Pro. Currently, he has the 500 GB HDD 2.4 GHz inside and want to go to 1 TB. I will be upgrading the 8 GB of RAM and I wonder...

    1 a the SATA specifications can he manage? II? III? SATA 6?

    2. any recommendations for transmission models?

    I found this:

    SATA 6

    http://www.Amazon.com/black-performance-mobile-hard-drive/DP/B01DOL05OC

    If I can't go SATA 6 How about something else similar? 7200 RPM and 1 TB that works?

    Thanks 1million expert Apple!

    A 2010 MBP has SATA2 3Gbps connectivity.  However all readers will be retro-compatible.  Try OWC:

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-notebook/

    There are cheerleaders for all different brands, but the bottom line, they all will work.

    Capacity is not a problem.  Now they come up to 2 TB.

    I have a Crucial 1 TB SSD in my MBP 2010 and it works as expected, fine.

  • Calendars has disappeared from the MacBook Pro

    I clicked to open the calendar on the doc icon and all of my calendars are GONE. There is now only a single base calendar with holidays and some limited entries that I had put in the calendar on my iPhone (6).  But all entries made on multiple calendars on my MacBook Pro (circa 2009, 13 inches) and the calendars themselves have disappeared.  The left in the schedule column now lists only the 'other' with boxes checked for 'Found in Mail' and ' WE holiday.»  There is a box unchecked "birthdays".  I also checked my iPhone calendars (6): in the column "MY MAC", several of my missing calendars are noted as "null".  In the column 'GMAIL', my e-mail address, birthdays and holidays are checked.  I restarted the computer from the drop-down menu, only to rebuild or repair itself, as opposed to an automatic restart.  I do not backup to the cloud, only on a hard drive.  I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4.  Help!

    Tell us what this immediately preceded - add software, upgrading or updating? Nothing at all.

  • External monitor retina has no power for MacBook Pro

    My external monitor retina stopped providing power to my MacBook pro (OS 10.10.2) and so will not come.  I tried to reset the SMC, but it did not help.  I plugged the MacBook to external Retina to another (same model) and it works fine.  I unplugged everything, plugged the screen on a multiple power outlets different without success.  I plugged the screen on a different MacBook and encounter the same problem - no power.  The problem seems to be in the monitor, no not the computer.    Is there a reset of the monitor or something else, that I can do?

  • MacBook pro startup failed

    Hi, when I start my Macbook pro, it shows this (pictured) after the usual apple logo. I heard it's my hard drive which is a failure, the system is unable to find a valid bootable system.

    How can I fix it? Maybe utility disk?

    Greetings Andreas D.

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having a problem with your Macbook Pro. Yes, you can use disk utility to fix the problem. Your Mac can not find a bootable hard drive, thus showing the circle with the slash through it. If your hard drive is really a failure, if you can, make a backup soon. By rebooting and holding down the option key will show you all hard drives potentially bootable.  You could boot from the recovery Partition by pressing the command and R

    at startup. From there, you will have access to the OS X tools (Center of the screen), click disk utility. Disk utility may not, however, be able to fix everything that happens. In this case, your options would be to buy a program that could work (DiskWarrior), or make an appointment at your local Apple store and bring in aid. Hard drives can and do sometimes fail, usually without much warning.

    in any case, good luck to you

  • Photosmart B110a Wifi Macbook Pro Scan fails after the most recent firmware update: CHL1FN1146AR

    Hi all

    I currently have a problem when scanning on wifi using a Macbook pro (Mac OS X 10.7.3).)

    Printer/scanner/copier is a: HP Photosmart B110a model: CN245B

    Service ID is: 20348

    The driver version is: HP ink Jet 8 pilot 3.5.2

    I used to scan directly into Evernote after completing the following steps:

    System Preferences - print & Scan - Scan - Scanner-open

    At this point the printer stops responding (just the apple turning and turning circle)

    The utility shows HP status: 'Idle '. The serialnumber Sevice ID and model are shown as well.

    Reset the system of printing and reinstalling the driver unfortunately did not solve the problem.

    Even the HP utility informs me that "an error has occurred."

    I tried to press the button 'wifi' on the printer for several seconds to make my router was able to connect to the printer.

    It seemed to work. I can print to the printer, once... grmmph... After successful printing I launched a scan...

    Too bad...

    The message:

    "The scanner reported an error.

    The scan did not complete because the operation was canceled while the analysis was underway. »

    pop up.

    Power - off at least 60 seconds does not resolve the issue.

    This behavior has started to happen right around the time that I installed an update of the firmware on the device.

    The current Firmware version is: CHL1FN1146AR

    I can reach the printer using a Web browser, the printer is showing the status of 'connection '.

    The webscan works like a charm and the self test page print works as well.

    If the printer is in my humble OPINION.

    Please let me know if this sounds familiar to anyone. Maybe a restore to the previous firmware could solve my problem?

    Best regards

    Martijn Krop.

    PS: My router is a

    TP-Link WR1043ND Original newest Firmware. The protocol used is WPA - PSK (automatic encryption)

    Hi Martin,

    First of all, try to reboot the router?

    I always suspect the router.

    Even further because it seems not to support Hello based on the above document, the manual of the router and the router configuration that I went through with no opportunity to locate any indication for its support.

    Please try temporary without going through the router and check the differences:

    1. On the product control panel, tap the Setup icon ( ).

    Hi, my Macbook Pro Late 2011 was knocked down in a little water, but my friend helped me fix it. He now works in good condition, but the chart doesn't work well when my Macbook has been upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks.

    I'm afraid that by pouring water into the computer then take it apart and fixing it you have cancelled the guarantee and any other Apple support. They will not fix the video problem for you. You are free to ask your local store of Apple or a service center if they will fix it for you and what will be the cost. The first sentence is the warranty policy.
