Black Macbook Paint On Keys Flaking

I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but it is my first time posting in these forums and I have yet become acquainted with the layout.
My question has to do with paint peeling on the actual keys of the black macbook. I got my computer in about 2008, and have had it for about 27-28 months. I have had problems with it before, but this one seems to be ongoing and I am worried about the paint fully peeling from the keys and being illegible. The actual paint on the keys has begun to flake, so that the black paint if flaking leaving a patch of white and making it extremely hard to read what the key is. This has happened with the down key more than any, but it also beginning on the "S" and "D" keys. I am unsure if this is something that tends to happen with computers that are used often, because I am a student I use my computer for long hours and do a lot of typing on it, or whether this is a problem with paint on the keyboard and has the ability to be fixed (hopefully for not too expensive a price)
I am posting some pictures below of what has been , thank you very much for any help that you are able to give!

Welcome to Apple Discussions Rose.
I think you are in the right place.
I imagine that what is happening has happened to others. If you have the Applecare extended warranty it's possible that you could claim this under that program. Perhaps Apple might counter that it's fair wear & tear though that shouldn't be the case within the 3 yr extended warranty period.
It is a fairly simple matter to replace individual keys (with some care!) if you can find a discarded keyboard/Macbook of the same type. This might be cheaper than paying for the repair if you don't have the extended warranty.

Black MacBook's paint flaking off?

There are some buzz about the black paint flaking off from the MacBook.
Anybody experiencing this problem with their black MacBook?
Here is the link:
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2397

but with all the problems I've been
reading about, I'm really tempted to wait for a
while... what with flaking of the black macbook,
discoloration on the white, mooing and noise with the
macbook pro and heating issues all around...
Dude! Remember where you are. This is a support site. That means if anything goes wrong, people come here for help. But people who are happy and content with their computers don't come here.
I don't know what percentage of problems the Macbooks are having. They are new, and Apple can't test out what everyone everywhere will do with or to their computer...so when people start doing whatever they do, problems appear that were not anticipated. In addition, this is electronics and with electronics, there is a percentage chance of lemons--that's for any electronics that come out from any company no matter how reputable. So no group of electronics is going to ever be trouble free.
This question is, have there been more problems with the MB than expected given this percentage and given that it's being field tested in mass numbers for the first time? If there are more problems...why and were they taken care of? There was reportedly one bad batch. From what I understand, there are no more of that bad batch so you're good to go on the latest ones--or so I've heard. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
My opinion, the MacBook is a FANTASTIC laptop and you should get one. The keyboard can't be beat, the trackpad is great, the screen is wonderful, the built in camera is fun. It is an AMAZING laptop.
No computer is ever guaranteed problem-free forever--and certainly none are ever going to look pristine forever. Like a new car, you will eventually get that first scratch or dent or flake. Laptops take a lot of wear and tear even if you baby them and keep them wrapped in protective covers. Nature of the beast. They go places and get scratched and bumped. But at least this laptop has a magnetic plug, so you know you won't be likely to jerk it off a table and have it crashing to the floor when you trip over the cord.
And you WILL trip over the cord. I did the first week I had it. The magnetic plut pulled right out and the laptop remained undamaged.
Laptops are more delicate than desktops. Again, nature of the beast. Go to an Apple store, test out a MB. If you want it and like it, get it. Cost-wise, it's a great deal for a laptop. Buy Apple care and you'll have it covered for 3 years pretty much no matter what happens.

Scratched black macbook. Touchup?

Hi everyone,
So, my roommate (now a moron, in my mind) placed my new black MacBook in a messenger bag that he had taken to the beach with him. Of course, he didn't clean out the sand that was still in there, and now I have about six or seven hairline scratches on the lid of my MacBook. PLEASE tell me that there is a way to touch this up. I remember seeing touchup kits offered somewhere, but I have no idea where to find them now. (And I don't have $450 to send it to Colorware for a custom paint job)
Thanks so much!
Dio

Have you considered not using words containing those letters,
Boot into safe mode and see if those keys are still absent, if they are a trip to the Apple Store is in your future.

Black MacBooks - Experiences?

I'll be buying a new MacBook as soon as Apple announces the Leopard upgrade (and provides a voucher for a free bump). I really like how the black MacBooks look, and the price difference (only $50 more for black with a similar configuration) isn't that big of a deal. The postings that I've read about paint flaking and chipping have me concerned, however.
For those of you who own black MacBooks, would you recommend them? Would you buy black again after your experiences with your existing laptop?
I plan on keeping this for a few years, and know that the white finish holds up really well - just want to make sure, given the cost, that it will still be presentable after a couple of years.

I haven't had any problems yet with mine, and it was a Refurb... Some people say that the edges are "too sharp" and it hurts when your hand/palm sits on them, but they really aren't that bad and you shouldn't be having your hands resting in that area anyways (If you aren't typing you can move them elsewhere, they are your hands...).
I think this is where people were getting the peeling (where it first started) and also it is the same area that you use to open the MacBook up with your fingers (possibly causing the "paint to peel" effect).
But I don't think there are that many people compared to the number of Black MacBooks out there, that actually have this problem. My suggestion for if it starts happening, and I wasn't going to freak out about doing a "minor" fix to my laptop, I would just take some clear nail polish (or the "top coat" that they sell) and use it over the exposed area and over the edges of the matte black coat a bit. Make sure it looks smooth on the edges at least (even if not a straight line), the material underneath is supposedly Black too, just more shiny/polished like the white MacBooks, so the clear polish shouldn't make it much more shiny/glossy than it would look without a fix.
This way you at least get to seal it, and possibly reinforce the areas that were peeling (by adding another layer of material with different thickness and durability) as well as possibly preventing the top coat of the MacBook to keep peeling (just think of a bad sunburn and how it peels, if you can get it when the edges of the coating are still flat and attached- which will soon lift up and tear more- then you can possibly nip it in the bud).
Also, if you were to do this, you would want to make sure that you were really careful, have it in a safe place where it wouldn't be disturbed and could stay to dry for hours (away from pets etc), make sure everything could still be opened up ("don't paint the windows shut") and all that type of stuff. But just thinking of this offhand, I don't see any real problems in doing this (you would want to make sure that the nail polish wouldn't "eat away" at any of the layers of coating of course) and it is cheap and should be great for catching any areas from peeling before it gets too bad...

Black MacBook skin flake off?

Does anybody with a Black MacBook have a similar problem?

Hello Jim,
There is a little button right over the pictures that you can use to view the larger images. This shows the image in full size.
He has two pictures that show the flaking (click on the browse button to the right to see the others).
Using the full-size images, it looks like those are just more flaking points. It doesn't look like chips in the plastic. Just exposed plastic or primer coat.
I even downloaded the full-sized images, and zoomed-in on the different points, and it still looks like removed paint. It could be that he bumped it, but it is hard to say.
Someone would have to sign-up with a flicker account to ask him. And, I just don't care enough to sign up with that service just to ask questions.
It appears though that Apple has decided to use paint rather than black plastic.
That's unfortunate.
It's possible that the PC portables use paint as well. But, the PC portables have a finish that is very durable.
It appears as though Apple has once again proven that they don't care about durability. Instead it appears as though they took another short-cut.
I would like to see Apple go back to their roots, and build solid, durable products.
It is possible to have a durable product that still looks nice. But, as long as people keep buying things without demanding that they have a durable finish, then Apple isn't going to change.
I had a couple of the iMac G5 systems, and an iPod that both couldn't be touched without damaging their finish. The iBook we have is just as bad.
They need to consider that people do touch their computers (it's impossible to use a portable as a portable without touching it), and design their surface accordingly.
I don't understand why people like the white polycarbonate finish. I would prefer to have something that is durable instead of something that was glossy white and looked like it dragged on the pavement.

Quick review of my wife's new Black MacBook

OK - so SWMBO chose Black last night at the Apple Store. Store upgraded the stock 512MB (2x 256MB sticks) with 2x 512MB sticks and ran memory test to ensure all was AOK - it was.
This MacBook replaced her 14" iBook G3 700MHz with 30gig HD, DVD-ROM/CD-RW and 640MB memory running Mac OS X 10.4.6 with all latest Apple updates.
First impressions during use and transferring wife's files from her old iBook.
1. Startup was flawless and connected FW400 cable between MacBook and iBook and restarted iBook in Target mode and selected to have all of wife's home files transferred along with other network settings etc. Transfer completed without problems.
2. As soon as startup completed I Restarted (re-booted) and selected Software update. Geeeesh - there was a lot of stuff that Apple hadn't installed on this stock machine. Downloaded and installed all this stuff without problems.
3. Now I ran Monolingual to remove all languages except English. This freed up some 3.2 GB of HD space. This took around 30 mins and placed a great deal of stress on the CPUs and HD. CPU activity was well above 80% (using Top.app) and Monolingual chewed up lots of physical RAM and started eventually to cause pageouts on the 1gig of physical RAM. The top left quadrant of the MacBook got very hot. The lower surface of the quadrant was extremely hot and would be bothersome had it been on my lap. The cooling fan could be heard during most of the time Monolingual was running. I believe the Monolingual also removed a large number of language files - as many as 287,000 as before running it I recall seeing 437,000 files and now only have 154,000 files (can't be absolutely sure about these numbers as I did not log them at the time). However, if this is true then not only do you get some 3.2 gig of HD space back a huge reduction in file count which helps with SpotLight indexing and anything else that has to scan the file system structure.
4. Ran SuperDuper to backup the HD to and external FW400 LaCie 60gig pocket HD. Took about 30 mins. The first run at this caused SuperDuper to complain it could correct the internal HD's permissions. So I quit SuperDuper and launched Disk Utility and ran Repair permissions. This completed with errors and then launched SuperDuper a second time and it did not have problems with the HD permissions. I observed that SuperDuper (not a universal binary) ran far quicker on the MacBook than it did on the iBook - I would say around 2x faster. After SuperDuper cloned the MacBook's HD I then verified I could boot up from the external FW400 LaCie drive. This worked flawlessly.
5. QT Pro didn't come across from wife's iBook so had to reset the QuickTime Pro registration key.
6. The MacBook screen real estate is less than the 14" iBook. It really is the height of the MacBook's screen that causes this. The MacBook's screen is same width as the iBook but is about 1.5" less in height. Overall the MacBook feels, looks and is smaller than the 14" iBook. The MacBook's screen display is clearer and brighter than the iBook's. The MacBook's screen display is very vibrant and more colorful than the iBook for sure.
7. Opening the MacBook screen/lid takes a bit of getting used to compared to the method needed for the iBook.
8. Keys are flush with the MacBook's outer surface which means they do not contact the screen when screen closed. The iBook's keys aren't and stick up some and can over time mark the screen with finger tip grease etc.
9. MacBook's trackpad is larger than the iBook's and very welcomed - as is the two-finger scrolling feature.
10. Adding a pic for accounts was fun as the iSight feature is by default used to capture a mug shot of yourself if you so desire.
11. Performance of MacBook compared to iBook 14" 700MHz is not very noticeable IMO when doing Safari and Mail type activities. Things do happen with more snappyness though. Yes - SuperDuper ran 2x faster but normal use of MacBook so far doesn't tell me it's 2x2000MHz/700MHz or some 5.7x faster wrt CPU clock rates. I'm sure the MacBook is faster at doing CPU intensive things but have not done any scientific performance testing to post results. I get the feeling that this MacBook is maybe 2x to 3x faster and more snappier than the iBook. The Disk Inventory X utility screams on this MacBook.
12. MacBook is lighter, thinner and more easily handled than the 14" iBook. It will also fit into the iBook 14" Bootq bag I bought for wife last Christmas.
13. My wife likes the MacBook very much after a morning of use. She maintains the Black MacBook is cool looking and more professional looking than the White and pleased she chose the Black.
14. We are both very pleased with the Black MacBook purchase at this time.
The 14" iBook is now to be handed down to daughter #1 as a birthday+Xmas present.

Update to my item 4 as there were some typo errors in it (sorry about that).
4. Ran SuperDuper to backup the HD to and external FW400 LaCie 60gig pocket HD. Took about 30 mins. The first run at this caused SuperDuper to complain it could not correct the internal HD's permissions. So I quit SuperDuper and launched Disk Utility and ran Repair permissions. This completed without errors and then launched SuperDuper a second time and it did not have problems with the HD permissions.

Certain hardware on Black Macbook isn't working?

I'm having a problem with my Black Macbook it's running on Snow Leopard. That laptop is being bootccamp & it's running on Windows 7 too. Currently i'm facing a problem with the Keyboard, Sound, Bluetooth & trackpad. All of the mentioned above isn't working help???

Does it work for changing screen brightness (F1, F2)? If not then go System Preferences ⇾ Keyboard ⇾ Keyboard and ensure that 'Use F1, F2 etc as function keys' is turned off, i.e. unticked.

Two of Three internal speakers arn't being used in Black Macbook (2006)?

Hi,
I probably tinker with my Macbook too much, however I noticed today that sound is only coming through the one internal "woofer" speaker, or the speaker that faces up at the F8 key. When using the internal speakers, not using an external output in other words, the two stereo speakers that face back toward the lcd screen on the left and the right sides of the case do not emit sound at all. I've checked the connections of each, I've played with settings in the System Preferences, and I've tried several different settings in iTunes. I cannot get the Macbook to use those speakers.
Is there some software glitch in the Kernal or Firmware that is preventing these from being used? Or could it be a hardware or sound card issue? I have no idea. It isn't something critical or anything, the single speaker in the middle works fine, however, I imagine the Macbook's internal audio quality and volume would be much improved if it were using all of the speakers installed.
Any ideas or thoughts?

How do i clean the Black MacBook?

hi,
i was wondering how to clean my black macbook...the flat black paints holds alot of finger prints and they don't wipe right off the way they do on the white macbook with it's smooth finish.....
any advice is well appreciated...
thanks...
MAC BOOK BLACK Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GHz 2GB DDR

Nothing but a microfiber cloth and a little water if needed - applied directly to the cloth and never anything sprayed on the machine.
Also, avoid paper products as they are remarkably abrasive.
Although I am sure it works well, I refuse to pay the price for OmniClean. A microfiber cloth gets rid of everything on my MB and I will never have to buy refills or replacements.

My late 2006 Black MacBook has a gray screen and won't boot.

My late 2006 Black MacBook has a gray screen, folder icon, and flashing question mark. I replaced the HD with a Western Digital 500 GB and had no change. What's wrong with my MacBook?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive Operating System data is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Once it has finished booting and you Choose Your Language and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Finger Grease and Black Macbook

Hey folks! I just bought my first Mac yesterday (a black Macbook), and noticed a bit of a problem and was wondering if there was some solution. It appears as though the grease from my fingers (hey, you can't blame me, I'm a young guy going through puberty haha) is leaving sort of "marks" on both the keys and the mousepad. If I look at the mousepad from any angle, I can clearly see that certain spots and almost "worn," whereas other spots where I don't put my fingers as frequently look fine. Is there any solution to this? Any type of keyboard/mousepad cleaner to try to get rid of these marks? I knew that this would eventually happen, but I didn't expect to see it after only one day of use! Thanks in advance!

hey it happens to the best of us. by paying a little extra for that pretty blackbook, you have to pay the price of trying to keep it clean. dont feel bad, i go through the same experience with my black razor. it is just a question if you are anal about keeping it clean. i have a white macbook and i still clean it after evey time i use it, it is just the way that i am. i was the same way till my ibook died. all i do is get the pledge multi thingy spray that is safe for electronics or endust is fine... and all you do is spray some on a clean undershirt... the soft white kind and while your macbook is off and unplugged, just wipe that baby down. just be sure not to do it to the screen for fear of leaving smudges. but that should work and also keep that smell down that some people complain of with all the grease from you hands. hope it helps!

Grease on Black MacBook

How do you remove oil from lotion or whatever from the keys of the black MacBook? I have tried iKlear but it doesn't work.

Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I encountered the same problem with my MacBook, for those who live in the US is easy since there is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that will (if damped) clean easily the stains, if you do not wish to buy that do what I do; Get a linen free piece of cloth and damp it, make sure its not to wet, and apply to the oily area then with another one (but dry) do it again to dry the zone, If your going to clean the screen remember that the piece of cloth should be barely damped and to clean it shut off the computer and remove battery, also remember to do it again with a dry one to avoid it from getting to wet.
Hope it helps

Black coating on period key cracking off

i have had my macbook air since 2 weeks after they came out... around last november. recently, i noticed a crack in the top of my period key, right in the middle. today, it started to grow, and i can now see silver color peeking through from underneath the the black coating on the keys. it seems that when i type, my ring finger is tapping in just the right way so that my nail is slowly chipping it away. i think it may derive from... you know... typing, and pressing the key so hard, because it is punctuation. as i type now i do notice that i do press that button very hard, and with my nail, but i guess i tend to hit with my nail on the entire lower row.
does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to prevent it from continuing to crack? i doubt that apple will do anything to help me, i just would like for it to not get worse.

Constant Kernel Panics Black Macbook

Hi I recently acquired a black 2007-2008~ black macbook and I'm having issues figuring out what the issues are with this machine. Without fail, this macbook will popup the "You need to restart your computer" message at random points, though typically I'm unable to even get it to boot to the login screen before it tells me it's hit a kernel panic.
That being said, I did manage to get it to stay working long enough to email myself the crash log from one of the most recent crashes.
I consider myself pretty computer literate, but I can't find anything to get this to work. Also, I've attempted runing the AHT (Holding 'D' key on startup), but I haven't been able to get it to run. I've tried pulling the disc, wiping it, installing all the necessary programs on a nearly identical macbook, but nothing has seemed to work.
I've swapped the ram, keyboard, and airport card into another confirmed working macbook and have had no issues with crashes.
Please help

Disreagrd the keyboard and mouse idea, for some reason I'm thinking imac instaed of macbook. That said, I stil think you may have a corrupt bluetooth driver. You might first try a safe boot to see if that clears out the problem, if that doesn't help I would try reinstalling OS X. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

Black MacBook stuck mid-Lion install

I have a Black MacBook (4,1), the early 2008 model.
It's current state is that I am mid-install of a app store provided version of Lion - it was at the restart point, and I cannot get past the spinning gear. I let it go for hours.
It also will not work in Target Mode. Disk utility sees nothing. System Profiler on the host mac sees an "Unknown Volume" on the firewire bus.
I tried to boot from a number of disks: Snow Leopard, Tiger, and the original 10.5 disks that shipped with the laptop. No dice.
I did do a key command that showed me what the startup disk is presently called - it identifies itself as the Lion Installer. So my original Hard Drive is not even advertising itself right now.
So I am stuck. I've run the Apple Hardware test - the extended one. No problems found.
I've pulled the battery, held down the power button for 5 secs. nothing.
I've tried to launch in Safe Mode. Won't do it - it stays on the spinning gear.
I am able to launch in Single user mode, so my hope is that there are some commands that could reset my mac from whatever plagues it to at least boot it so I can extricate the data and deal with the laptop's viability secondarily.
I deeply appreciate any and all advice. Thanks very much.
Best,
David

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use BootCamp. There's a BootCamp Support Community where everybody uses BootCamp. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
