Mac book pro latch (button problem)

I had have had my laptop for a long time now but the latch has apeared to stop working. I had a look through the discusions and most people said they had problems with their NON-MAGNETIC latches. However the problem on mine is that the left side of the opening button is stuck earlier on the right one was aswell but I managed to fix it, but the way I did the first one does not work for the second. But if i puch in the button again the right gets stuck and i have to use the tooth pick to get it out.
Please help

found a very good video guide on you tube and was able to resolve the issue myself

  • On Mac Book Pro start button does not turn it on.

    On Mac Book Pro start button does not turn it on.
    After some attempts of pressing it finally it turns on.
    (Meantime keayboard can be highlighted,but screen is black and I hear noise of shutting down it when I press it).
    What can be the cause of this problem? Actually MacBook is new,only 9 months.
    Please give me some suggestion what should I do.

    It will be complicated to take it to the Apple store as in Georgia (Caucasus)there is not official Apple stores and in addition Mac Book was purchased in UK. I have red some staff here about start button pressing hard for turning it on, I have feeling that now it needs to be pressed hard to turn on. If it would be from the beginning I might think that it's normal,may be,for Mac Book,but initially it needed to be slightly pressed.
    Thank you for suggestion.

    CAPS isn't really of any help reading or getting help.
    Try monitoring the temperature so you know for sure. Yes it can run hot.

  • Spilled liquid on top of mac book pro; usb/wifi problems.

    So yesterday evening I spilled hot chocolate on the top of my mac book pro while it was sitting on my desk closed. I picked it up, unplugged everything from it and grabbed a towel so that I could try it off. I got most of it off and nothing got into the keyboard area underneath. But I did see some of it get into the side ports and mainly the first usb port. I just realized that now when I plug something into that usb port, the wifi and usb don't work! The second one is reliable and works fine, it charges and plays audio. That is basically all I use it for. But now I am limited to just one usb port, it could be alot worse. It is an annoyance though, especially since I bought this laptop literally a year ago. From what I understand Apple will only guarantee their product for one year and won't honor most customer accidents. So with an expired warranty by just days, I am left with a perfectly working computer -1 usb port. I know getting frustrurated wont solve anything and I've spent the last hour figuring out why the internet and mouse weren't working.
    What are my options? Anyone else have this kind of problem? Is there something I can do to fix my computer?

    Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.  They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
        If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • Mac book pro turning on problems?

    hi there
    my macbook pro has stopped working.
    all it does at the moment is whilst chargering the green light is on the charger. Also when you hold down the battery indicator button is just flashes with one light and goes off. i ve left it on charger for over 10 hours and still no change. when you hold down the power button nothing happens not either the light on the front.
    any ideas anybody?
    many kind regards 

    Get to your local Apple Store or AASP as soon as possible. I doubt that you'd even be able to run a hardware test if the machine won't boot at all.
    Sounds as if you've a serious problem.

  • Mac Book Pro Mail App problem

    I have a 3 month old MacBook Pro that has developed in the last 3 days a strange problem within Mac Mail app.  When I send or reply to a email message it shows up in the email thread or sent messages folder as a COMPLETELY different email to an entirely different address.  The incorrect messages/addressees that appear are from emails sent several years ago.  It appears that my emails are being received normally to the recipients (what I actually sent is received,  instead of what is appearing to me as what I sent), but as the thread continues or new messages are exchanged the thread is meaningless and garbled.

    I've tested sending email through both my Comcast server and iCloud.  Same problem either way.  Virus, malware........??  THanks for any suggestions

  • Mac book pro retina battery problems?

    Macbook pro battery problems?
    i called apple because my macbook is supposed to last 7 hours but it last only 3 and it tends to get hot, they told me a virus is affecting the battery performance is this really possible or r they just masking crap up so i can buy their tech support plan and even if a virus is an issue cant i just reintall osx again and start fresh woudnt that just delete the virus instead of buying their software virus deleter thing?
    1st it should last till 7 hours if you dont do anything intense wich i dont, i only use it for low intensity programs
    2nd i keep my brightness low

    i noticed it 2 moths ago and apple remotely accessed my maxbook and said they found virus related issues affecting my software wich made my macbook work harder wich made it hot , thus draining the battery quicker
    anyways im wondering it a virus is an issue is there any other way i can fix it like reintalling a frwesh copy of osx

  • Mac book pro caps button ?

    I bought a macbook pro 4 weeks ago the caps button is not working. It is not lighting up or working in general. I find this very inconvenient considering I bought this mostly for typing.

    Before you take it in for service...
    Go into System Preferences.
    Click Keyboard.
    Click the Modifier Keys button.
    Check the setting for Caps Lock and make sure it is set to "Caps Lock".
    My Caps Lock works (or doesn't work) exactly like yours, but for me it is on purpose. I wanted to disable it, so I have set my Caps Lock setting to "No Action" which completely stops it from doing anything.
    There is also a "Restore Defaults" button in there that you might want to click to make sure the keyboard works the way it is supposed to from the factory.

  • Mac book pro new battery problem

    Hi, I have got a question regarding a battery life.
    I bought my Mcbook pro 13' over three years ago, and it has been working really well until recently. The laptop was running on the original battery all the time, and only recently it has 'flashed' the replace battery icon, after over 600 charges.
    I went to apple store and replaced the battery and the charger, as the charger broke at pretty much the same time. Within the month of using the new battery, with cycle charge count of less than 30, the 'replace battery icon' pops up again. I went back to the apple store, and since the battery was less than a month old they have replaced it with a new one free of charge.
    Today is my 2nd day on the new battery, it's the third time I am charging it and it's flashing 'replace battery!" I don't know what's wrong! How could a battery break in less than 3 day, where it has not been heavily used at all????
    Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
    I will try to go back to the store again this week, but it's ridiculous.
    I really appreciate any suggestion on what's going on.

    Tell them to check out the MagSafe charging circuit,and ports, as well as the cables connecting it all together.
    Say you want a FULL diagnostic, as there is something wrong going on here,(possibly something on the logic board, which has just about all the components on it, they don't work at component level, they just change out whole parts"chunks") be polite but firm, and if you do not get a satisfactory answer from the first tech, ask to "escalate" it to the manager.
    Best of luck
