The adhesive strip on the bottom under the name Macbook is slipping. If I daily press a finger along the bottom egde, it will hold. If I forget a day or two it will slip. Some dust has managed to come in behind the glass. Most not visible when the LCD is lit. On larger speckle is however quite annoying.
In the long run not satisfying and more dust can be expected I guess. I am afraid that I have to take of the glass? You say it should be possible without disassembling the the casing and everything. I guess I would start with the bottom of the glass since it is where it slips, but I feel the space for manouvre is very thight if I start just there. Any suggestions? Two more questions.
Can I use any adhesive strip or should I have you send them to me (europe) and please some clever advice for removing dust and cleaning the glass and the LCD. Hopefully I will never come there again. Thanks in advance with the bottom of teh glass.
I’ve got a 13″ A1278 MacBook Pro, which had a small amount of plain water spilled over the keyboard area. After drying etcthe laptop physically powers up correctly and seems to work in every way with the exception of the display which is definitely on (if I point a torch at the screen and look carefully, I can see everything from bootup to desktop correctly) I’ve had a look at the cable & logic board connector and there seems to be a small amount of black on the cable pins which may/may not have been there beforehand. In your opinion, could this be an LCD backlight fault (they don’t have inverters do they?) needing a new screen or maybe a cable fault or something else?
Thanks in advance! Own a MacBook pro unibody 17″. Had screen bken issue. Got an exact looking LCD assembly complete. But the lcd cable is different. How different?
Well, the main connector(same fit on both)but is placed different. One is on the left side on original but right side on replacement. Now it appears the other 2 small connectors are not the same fit Questions 1 How do I know specific cable for my mobo? Obviously I’ll have to take the screen lcd apart to get to cable attached on the back. Just checking if there’s something I need to do 1st as this is my first try with MAC.
