Scuff on MacBook Pro (Late 2006) non-glare screen

My otherwise pristine MacBook Pro (Late 2006 model, 2.33GhZ C2D) has developed a 1/4-inch scuff right in the middle of the screen. Small, but highly distracting, particularly when the area beneath it is white.
Can anyone recommend a product to minimize or buff it out? I've seen this stuff, but it's more for cleaning than removing scratches and scuffs:

I've also seen iPod scratch removers, but they seem to buff plastic out to a glossy finish, whereas this is a non-glare surface ... sigh.
Thanks for any help!

Late 2006? You do not say what graphic card.
I would imagine you are long past any recall.

Ask about a out of warranty flat- rate repair,  if that is your intention.

    the research ive done points to the graphics card. clearly im no longer covered. was there a recall or free service issued for this problem. Thanks!

    khryzpher,
    your model MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test comes on one of those two grey installation DVDs; it’s an essential tool for troubleshooting. You’re going to need to contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair for your MacBook Pro; be sure to have its serial number handy.
    Your model MacBook Pro didn’t originally come with Snow Leopard installed at the factory. If you don’t have the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, then I’d also recommend that you purchase that, in case your hard drive fails and you’d like to install Snow Leopard onto its replacement.

    Thanks for Help

    Short of a logicboard change, no.
    Is the HDD Support SATA and can I upgrade To 500 GB SATA
    Yes. In fact, the 17" model is the only one that supports also the 1 TB internal SATA before the unibody enclosures.

  • Macbook Pro late 2006 suddenly slow

    Hello,
    i'm running a 17" Macbook Pro 2.1, late 2006 with a complete fresh install of OSX10.5.8. Intel core 2 duo.
    Everything is very slow. i have an older macbook pro15", and that one is alot faster.
    With this 17" machine i can no longer play HD movies. also sluggish, loads of spinning wheels, slow boot, programs bouncing forever untill loading.
    Also did an SMC reset, (Battery out, power button for 5sec, battery back in and power connector back in...)
    not helping. As described above, a complete fresh install also did not make my machine faster.
    I also swapped the RAM memory with my fast running 15", but still the 17" is slow as ****, while the 15" runs smoothly.
    Now comes the completely weird part:
    On bootcamp, running Windows 7 on it, everything runs smooth, even HD movies run perfectly.
    Everything is fast as a charm.... but... eum... i want OSX :-(
    i have completely no idea what to do anymore.
    Please can anyone help me???

  • Question on MacBook Pro (Late 2006) and OS X 10.5

    I've owned the MacBook Pro I am currently using since April 2006. The specs for the system are as follows:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:    MacBook Pro 15"
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro1,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed:    1.83 GHz
      Number Of Processors:    1
      Total Number Of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache (per processor):    2 MB
      Memory:    1 GB
      Bus Speed:    667 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:    MBP11.0055.B08
    From November 2007 until about April 2011, I had 10.5 installed on the system. I reverted back to Tiger for certain reasons until this morning. I attempted to reinstall Leopard using the same discs used when I installed it back in 2007. However, this time I was told that Leopard could not be installed. This makes no sense.
    Is there a workaround to reinstall Leopard?
    Thanks in advance.

    Makes sense if Apple updated the firmware not to boot off the 10.5 disk, your should have been able to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5.
    I have had the same problem, also I've heard of others not being able to boot from their 10.5 disks anymore.
    You could go to 10.6, but Apple is going to deny OS X security updates for that version when 10.8 is released this summer, so you can't win there neither.
    Your machine can't run 10.7, so eithe stay on 10.4 or upgrade to 10.6 for $29, because the 10.5 disks are not sold and a fortune used.

  • MacBook Pro late 2012 (non-retina) continues to run after lid closed; drains battery while in sleep mode; all of this since the 10.8.2 update – any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi all,
    After the last combo update (10.8.2), my MacBook Pro has several issues. One of them is the greyed-out hibernation screen described here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20301110#20301110. But more distressingly, yesterday I closed the lid on it and heard music still playing. After 5 minutes I opened the lid, paused Itunes and then closed the lid again. It appeared to go to sleep, but the battery drained completely overnight.
    SMC reset didn't seem to work. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • How much RAM can I put in my Macbook Pro (late 2006), and how much will it cost me?

    I am currently running at a:
    2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM in Memory
    ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB in Graphics
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) in Software
    & it's a 15inch Macbook Pro incapable of upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    I know i have a lot of limitations due to the age of this mac, but I would like
    to know as to how far I can go with the one that I have. Please help.

    Your MBP will be able to use a maximum of 3 Gb RAM.  The exact specifications are: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  Best sources are Crucial and OWC.  Their websites will have the prices.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS.  I have it on my 2010 MBP and have no intention of installing Lion/Mt Lion.  It is stable and efficient, more so than the newer ones.  Do not view that as a handicap.
    You might also consider installing a larger HDD.  Your MBP can handle the largest ones available to day (1 Tb).  For a pre-unibody MBP, it is a bit harder than the current crop but achievable of you have rudimentary mechanical skills and a bit of patience.  See the OWC website for excellent how to do it videos.
    Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro (Late 2006) freezes consistantly.

    So, my macbook pro freezes ALL THE **** TIME. I want to know why, is it faulty hardware is it a software issue. It seems to mainly do it when I put the computer to work, playing games or videos. Also, when the computer gets hot I get horizontal glitchy type lines that appear, when it gets a little warmer the screen gets choppy and what not.
    I am on Snow Leopard 10.6.7 everything is all updated, continually repairing disk permissions, I have a 500GB hard drive that is 50% full. I don't have the original discs to try to hardware test, I put the snow leopard disc in and ran a repair permissions and disk repair also, nothing has changed. Cleared PRAM many times does nothing at all, The RAM is well seated, everything is in order are there any logs I can put on here to help explain better?

    H Kuzco,
    There have been a number of posts with similar issues. It's the GPU getting hot. It's very similar to the NVIDIA issue covered by this repair program:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    but you have an older Mac with the ATI X1600 GPU. If you google it, you'll find people have tried a number of different "patches" trying to keep their MBPs working (including baking the logic board in the oven, believe it or not). What most of them have in common is the focus on the solder joints.

  • Using New Apple 27" LED Display with old MacBook Pro (Late 2006) 15"

    I've got a MacBook Pro (Model # A1211) Core2Duo 15" 2.16 GHz with only 128 MB of VRAM and a built-in DVI port (I think it is dual-link DVI)
    My question is, will the new 27" LED Display work with this machine at its best resolution? If so, what adapter would I need to get it to work?
    Thanks!

    I don't think the Kanex adapter is the best one to purchase. The information on their website says it will only drive the 27" at 1280 x 720. Although I have not purchased one yet, the ATLONA website http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-Dual-Link-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-USB-Pow ered.html, claims their Atlona AT-DP400 converter will drive the 27" at its highest resolution of 2560 x 1440. I have read confirmation from some users that this is the case for the DP400.

  • When I connect the 17'' Studio Display to my 15'' Macbook Pro (Late 2006)

    Whenever I connect the external display to my laptop (and other laptops in the office) the laptop display remains in black on white while the external display becomes white on black. It is an immense hassle when I have to switch between monitors and applying the Ctrl+Option+Command+8 technique. HELP!

    Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

  • MacBook Pro (Late 2008/Unibody) Max screen res

    I've just got a Samsung SA850 but bannot seem to select more that 1080p
    Ideally I'd like to run it at native resolution.
    Is this the maximum I can get?

    The displayport to DVI won't support that high of a resolution. It would have helped earlier if you had mentioned that you had the 27" as opposed to a 24" SA850 is not enough info.
    Use mini display port to display port. It will be cheap. http://www.walmart.com/ip/14294968?adid=22222222227000429891&wmlspartner=wlpa&wl 0=&wl1=g&wl2=&wl3=13688118310&wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem
    The mini displayport to dual link to DVI will cost about $100.

  • Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013) screen blinking

    I recently got a Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013), and the screen has been spontaneously blinking. It's exceptionally distracting, and I've been unable to correlate it to any running program. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your MacBook is in warranty, so take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get the MacBook repaired or replaced free of charge. It looks like a hardware issue, so it's better to do this
