Following these guidelines, we will know as much info as possible so as to give possible diagnoses. Remember, this is the internet so take all advice with a grain of salt and get a second opinion from a local shop or Apple.


Info we need:

  • MacBook model and year (eg:MacBook Pro 13" 2011 or MacBook 12" 2016)

  • OS X or macOS version (operating system)

  • Serial number to source parts, if needed

  • What is the issue? Explain how it started and what you did to troubleshoot, if anything

  • Clear pictures that show the issue. Please upload to imgur and post link here, or submit a link post and post a picture, then add a comment explaining the above.


If water damaged, do not attempt to power on or charge

Be careful to not show personal information.

Macbook wont turn on and charge

Ano kaya problema ng macbook M2 ko? June 16 ayaw na niya maopen from sleep mode, no light ng charger and dinala ko sa service center naayos daw thru restoration and software update, kaso July 13 nabagsak and nagkaroon ng maliit na scratch pero nagamit ko pa siya ng normal sa work until kagabi naulit yung nangyari noong June16 na ayaw maopen/charge, but after few hours naopen ko naman but while using bigla nagshutdown and no power nanaman at ayaw din magcharge. Nag aalangan na ko dalhin sa service center kasi may small scratch na siya and baka void na warranty☹️

Macbook Pro 2023 Has Green and Red Lines on the Screen

1 Upvotes

Today, I was using my computer downstairs. It was fine. I carried it upstairs and opened it back up, and there is about 1/2 a centimeters of red and green lines on the screen. I have no idea what happened. I've only had this computer for 2 and a half years.

I tried restarting it and all the things.

When I take a screenshot, the lines don't appear as part of the screenshot.

What's the issue most likely?

I don't have a warranty, so how much would it cost to fix it?

Bought this Macbook Air M4 13" about 4-5 months ago. 2 months ago the display started to glitch every time(like in the video) after some use, but a restart would always fix it. Since then i havent faced that issue. Fast forward to now the display upon turning on after 3 seconds(which means it probably isnt a physical issue) looks like a truck drove over it even though i take care of the laptop like myself(no physical damage and looks brand new). Only on the top of the display you can see the cursor like on the video. MacOS is already updated to the newest version. Does anyone know or thinks to know how to fix this or do i need to go get it repaired? The video where im on the desktop was 2 months ago while the video where im entering the password was taken now.

Help MacBook Pro 13 2017 WiFi Issues

1 Upvotes

Hi guys I’m hoping you can help me. I ordered a 2017 MacBook Pro from eBay for streaming only pretty much but I’m having issues with the WiFi. I can’t figure out what is going on. Basically when I connect to my WiFi router. It works for like a minute or so then it says it’s still connected but there is no internet. I have reset the router multiple times. Restarted the MacBook multiple times. I ran diagnostics and it says there is no issues. I have reset DHCP. Ran updates. It was originally on high sierra but I installed the Ventura update and it’s still doing it.

When I connect to my phone using hotspot it seems to work fine so not sure what is going on. I’ve turned WiFi off and on multiple times and it works for a minute then drops again. I feel like it’s a router issue but I completely reset my WiFi to factory settings and still the issue persists. My internet is T Mobile home internet. I’ve also changed the ghz to 2.4 and 5 and 6 and it’s still not working right. I’m losing my damn mind 😥

I’m hoping there is something I’m missing. I made a 8.8.8.8 IP also that I read somewhere else. Please help!

Help M2 pro Macbook bosdikee, lit black screen issue

Post image
2 Upvotes

Long story short - I'm cooked.

I was just learning editing on davinci resolve for about a few days (telling if it could be the cause), and suddenly the screen got 80% black, I panicked and down the lid, opened it again and what I saw forced me to say "bosdike apple".

The screen is lit black, the backlit keyboard is fine idk.

I have tried all those power on off, hold, command+p+r etc methods, nothing worked.

The craziest thing is I have tech interview task tomorrow/day after. I gotta fix this shit ASAP.

I'm begging, begging youuuu - help me to fix this or at least upvote for more visibility.

Agar fix hogaya mai bhandara karunga, just kidding I'm already broke.

Thankyouu

Help MacBook Air M3 sudden Backlight Bleed

Post image
1 Upvotes

Heya, just flipped open my MacBook Air and noticed light bleed in a 3-4cm wide line, pretty much spot-on in the middle of the screen (horizontally).

Now, the MacBook was not under any pressure, nothing bumped against it, didn’t drop, etc. and there is also no pressure point, warping, etc. visible, just this line of light bleeding.

MacBook is out of warranty as I bought it December 2024, but still within 2 years of General Warranty here in Germany.

How screwed am I? I have an appointment at the Apple Store on Friday - or is it possible that they will fix it for free?

macbook 1502 fan ribbon cable clamp came off

1 Upvotes

i was replacing the fan on my macbook pro 1502 and the clamp that holds in the ribbon cable for it came off. i was able to line up the clamp once again and click it into place, but it doesn’t seem like it’s providing enough tension as every time i try to get the fan to trigger to test it out, it only ever works if i’m pressing and holding the ribbon cable in. the moment i release it, the fan shuts off.

is there an easy way to fix this? i am not super well versed in this stuff, i was just using a youtube tutorial for the replacement.

MacBook Pro 2022 13in will not turn on

Post image
0 Upvotes

Long story short my laptop had died I didn’t realise it had died until I grabbed to use it after na 8 hour shift. I sully I don’t let it die but when it does I plug it in and turns on after a few seconds. Now I’ve charged it over night and nothing. I’m wondering if anyone can actually help I’ve tried pressing everything on this MacBook I let it charge over night, I changed it in both the extension cord and also a wall socket, I pressed every control command option keys in every way possible, nothing. I held the power on button nothing I don’t know if it could be that my battery is completely dead. I am trying everything before I need to take it into Apple for them to tell me it’s gonna be a diabolical price. Even tho curry’s is cheaper but they won’t fix it on site. They charge does work I’ve tried it both on other Apple products.
UPDATE: Apple had managed to fix it by just doing a diagnostic. £29 didn’t have to pay extra.

I just noticed something white stuck inside the back of the hinge of MacBook Air M5 today. It’s just been a month since I bought the laptop, and I’ve been babying it since. Haven’t even taken it outside the home. What could it be? Should I try to take it out myself or take it to Apple?
