MacBook Pro lights at room temperature.

Hello

I had this problem with my late 2008 unibody Macbook Pro since last year that he only turns on when I use a blow dryer and blow directly to the logic board to increase its temperature to above 70 ° c/160 degrees Fahrenheit.

I only found on this quick fix to turn it on a few days ago, before I had kept on for several months and as long as it's on it's a machine works well without any problems no matter what was the temperature of House of logic. I brought in a genius bar earlier for a verification of the material but they could not identify any problems.

Any idea of what this could be the cause?

Thank you.

Just speculating, but maybe a cold or damaged joint to weld. When you heat, parts develop a connection. Cold, parts of contract, leaving a void in the weld joint.

  • Is it normal for a Macbook Pro operate at a temperature of more than 60 degrees celsius with only the navigation? Left side warms also many...

    My Macbook Pro Late 2011 very hot especially on the left side. Temperature exceeds the 60 degrees celsius, with only the navigation. Is this a normal behavior? Fans operate at a SPEED of 2000 more or less. I would like the experts to guide...

    From what you say, it seems that your MacBook fans work as usual (and unfortunately), and 60ºC is a good temperature for a MacBook Pro, so I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your Mac. Note that the temperature may also depend on what websites visit you and complete what they use. for example, Java and Flash Player increases CPU utilization and the battery, and this, temperature.

    In addition, note that your MacBook Pro is made of aluminum, and it can quickly become hot even if you don't do any heavy task. This does not mean that there is nothing wrong with it

When I listen carefully inside the machine by placing ears on the top of the keyboard, I hear a fan who tries to turn on, then it turns off. This cycle of fan go on and outside the repeats itself as long as the charger is plugged in. when I remove the charger and try to turn it on, nothing happens and the fan stops too.

I started the direct power to first reset the PRAM and then the MagSafe conector constantly then begins to Flash green, here, after I pressed the power button and held it for like 15 seconds. and vuala... but without the battery powered machine... and the fans were running too high and loud... left on for like 5 minutes on direct current... then I reset the SCM while the pc is always on and Yaiy! power went to the battery, and now it works fine. I hope this works for others who meet the same problem, I did.

  • Keyboard will not be on when connecting. Mid-15, 15 "MacBook Pro w / retina.

    I don't know if that's how it is supposed to be or not. But I thought it would be a common sense that should the keyboard lit up as the Macbook Pro lights up on the login screen, but this one isn't. I wonder if this is supposed to be having no light until I logged in? If not, then how can I fix this to where the keyboard will be turned on when I turn on my Macbook Pro?

    The backlight on the keypad lights to power when FileVault is in use. If you need this feature, you must turn off FileVault.

  • I have no sound coming out of my macbook pro and see a red light in the hole of the listener.

    I do not have its coming out of my macbook pro os x 10.8.1 but if an earphone is connected I hear the sound and there is a red light through the matter of earphone. What is happening to you can help me?

    The red light of the headset jack means the MacBook Pro thinking that an optical audio cable is plugged into the port. Try to have disconnected and reconnected a headphone plug into the port several times. There is a tiny sensor inside the port that determines if the port is operating in analog or optical mode. Something similar by plugging should trigger the sensor and restore the analog signal.

    If you don't feel capable in doing so the folks at Apple Genius Bar will be able to help.

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 13 inch edition at the beginning of 2015. A few days when I tried to turn on my computer, screen not turn on including the lamp to the rear logo. but I heard the startup sound with the keyboard backlight on. I plugged the computer to an external monitor, then I saw in this computer monitor works fine. I tried to make configurations LANDAU and SMC. screen still does not work. but sometimes laptop screen lights up, then when I restart the computer, the screen will come up again. help me guys what should I do?

    If you're lucky, the connection to the screen is not correctly connected or must be replaced.  If you are unlucky, the display needs to be replaced.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

  • MacBook Pro says hard disk is almost full, startup disk is full. What should I do to make room?

    My Macbook Pro says that my disk space is low. Another notice came that my Start Up disk was almost full. I don't know if they are the same thing, but I want to know how to make room. Also, how can I get rid of the useless things I let build up because I didn't know any better. Thank you.

    Hi Taylorlaura, if you can use your Mac then move your own files of data on another drive, until you do about 50 GB of space.

    OS x: what is 'other' space about this Mac? -Apple Support

    Then download and run Omni DiskSweeper. It can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper. But beware, some items may be important for your system.

  • MacBook Pro (2014) does not charge despite an orange light when plugged

    Hello

    So my 2 year old Macbook Pro (retina) does not load when it is plugged in - spite, projecting the orange light. I have a battery (20%) and it is reduced whenever I use it and will be soon drained.

    Some of the things I've tried

    -Reset SMC - tried but no change after

    -When I use the mac when it is plugged in the battery icon in the top bar done see the support - but there is no increase in % of the battery. Continuous use it starts to fall.

    -During use (and what battery is plugged) - I checked the report system (about this Mac section) - in the energy sector - it is said does not charge (despite being connected, the orange light and the symbol in the top bar)

    What do you think guys that it is? MLB? Battery?

    What I have to replace or can it be fixed?

    If you have the Apple store, take the machine evaluation.  There is no charge for this, but you need an appointment.   The first thing I would check would be the cable.  You have another machine to test this with.

    I have a macbook pro 15 "of 2011 and yesterday he gave me a failure when you use iMovie and now I'm not able to restart it more.

    When I was with iMovie, the screen became stripped horizontal screen and the computer crashed while I didn't have another option that turn it off by holding down the Start button.

    But since then, when I turn on the computer, it happens to me the following:

    -L' computer starts and the typical sound of departure

    -Then the page from loading with the Apple, but he is seen gray with horizontal lines of fine pink & gray:

    -Once loading appears to be over, the screen turns into a light gray screen and it remains forever. The only option I have is to keep pressed the button start to stop the computer off again.

    I tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC and I walked to the single user Mode to execute the following commands: fsck - fy and mount uw but nothing has worked.

    Also, when I enter in single user mode by pressing cmd + S during startup, the screen is red light with very thin vertical black lines.

    Does anyone has idea what goes wrong with my computer? Can someone help me?

    Thank you much in advance.
