Taking Apart the MBP Screen?

I would like to check and insure that the camera cable in my MBP's screen is secure. It is non-functional and may be the source of a sleeping problem for my laptop.
All I want to do is look, and if there is some kind of simple, basic disconnection, plug it back in.
Has anyone done this, or know how to get the MBP display module apart?

Nevermind, I see here that taking apart the screen requires taking apart the main computer module as well.

  • Firefox is taking up the entire screen! I don't know how to fix it? I can't do anything now.

    Firefox is taking up the entire screen on my laptop. I can't see the search bar or the windows tabs at the bottom or anything. I think I accidentally pressed something to make it do this, but I can't fix it. Please help!

    Hi K-chan,
    It sounds like you've just put Firefox into [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-use-full-screen Fullscreen mode]. It's an easy fix though. You can just hit ''F11'' or move your mouse to upper right hand side of the screen and hit the maximize button. The article I linked you to has more details.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Taking apart the Zen To

    My Zen Touch, is to be honest, fecked. It's not getting past the creative screen no matter what I do. I half installed the firmware before the program (the same one creative wrote) crashed. If I take it apart and remove the battery is there any chance it may start working again? How easy is this to do?

  • How far back is the MBP screen supposed to tilt back?

    I just took my new MBP to the genius bar and they had to open it up. But now it feels like the screen tilts too far back. I don't remember how far it use to go before I took it and I would hate to take it again for nothing so I wanted to know if this is normal. It's about a 160 degree angle.

    Thanks! That's just as far as I thought it used to go before, now it's a 160'. I'm going to take it to the genius bar today. Just have to figure out how to back it up.

    Moderator - could you PLEASE put this in a FAQ?
    This is asked three times a day. ATT has only one SIM card and they are all 3G enabled with the 3G logo on it. They have had those since Nov 06. It doesn't mean your phone is 3G. The same SIM cards are used in all ATT/Cingular phones.

  • Using Cinema Display with mid-2010 MBP, post-Yosemite:  corrupted MBP screen

    For a couple years I've been using a 27" Cinema Display attached to my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15".  The dual-display setup works great for my home setup.
    However, since upgrading to Yosemite, the MBP display often completely corrupts and reverts to complete gibberish, with fragments of the UI and desktop littered all about the screen.  Dragging a window over to that screen usually "redraws" it sufficiently enough to keep working, but soon the problem re-appears.  The screen of the CInema Display (my main working area) never corrupts, only the MBP screen.
    My setup worked great in Mavericks, but something in Yosemite isn't driving both displays properly.  Can anything be done, aside from downgrading to Mavericks?
    Andy

    I am having this exact same problem.  2010 iMac with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB.  I have it hooked to a 30" display through a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter.  The 30" is fine, but I have graphical corruption constantly on the main iMac screen.
    This all started as soon as I updated to Yosemite a couple days ago.

  • I have dual displays.  My dock is on the MBP bottom and the menu bar is on the extended monitors top.

    I have a Dell 2408 acting as the main display and a 15" MBP.  For some reason, today the dock ended up on the MBP screen at the bottom and the menu bar is on the Dell at the top.  I can't seem to move the dock back to the Dell.  Can someone help?  I tried moving the menu bar to the MBP and then back, hoping the dock would follow but no luck.
    Thanks for your help.

    When the dock is defined as on the bottom, it will appear on the screen of the extended desktop that is lowest.
    Move the second monitor where the bottom edges are equal or the Dell is lower and the dock will move there.

  • A small help about comparing the MB & the MBP!!

    Hi guys,
    When i was thinking about getting a MacBook/Pro the main couple of things that took my attention about getting a MBP is the ability to make its HDD 320GB, Backlit keyboard, better graphic card & its bigger screen...
    now with these new AMAZING MacBooks, u can have the 320GB HDD, Backlit keyboard, and of course its 9400M NVIDIA graphic card with 256 MB!!
    now, HOW GOOD is this 9400M on the MacBook?? i watched the podcast of the launch for these new line of MacBooks/Pro and saw the difference between the last gen and this new gen!!
    but how good it is compared to the 9600M 256MB that u find on the MacBook Pro??
    i love working on Photoshop, not that much of a 3D, Flash, Gamer...etc guy! maybe some games but not a heavy game user, but as i said i love working on the photoshop and these pack of graphic design!!
    WILL the MacBook be a good deal holding its 9400M graphic card??
    and is there any difference between the "Sound" of each of them? or both have the same quality but the speakers are in different locations?
    oh and the MacBook i was thinking about is:
    2.4 GHz
    4 GB RAM
    320 GB HDD
    it's 256 MB 9400M graphic card
    and all the other default stuff!!
    I am a PC user STILL (I know!!) and now i so much want to BE A MAC person!!
    pls give me your advise guys and what do u think!!
    Thank you so much

    Displays:
    Yes, there is a difference between the screens on the MB and MBP. The MB screen horizontal viewing angle is pretty good, the vertical one is fairly restricted. Both angles were better than my PB 12" 867MHz laptop but worse than my iMac 24" (2006, non-glossy screen). The MBP screen angles were very good in both directions but were just beaten by the MBA which I also looked at.
    Bottom line: IMO all of the displays are acceptable for consumer use and better than my current laptop.
    Well, i read the Engadget review for the MB & MBP! and there IS a difference with the screens, i guess i better have a look myself when they are available here so i can judge how much is it good/bad!
    Trackpads:
    No it wasn't me, there is a difference between the MBs and MBPs on display at the Store. This has nothing to with the OS catching clicks, it is purely the mechanical feel - as I said before I found it difficult to double-click reliably, I kinda stutter.... No such problem on the MBP. Strangely, the MB in John Lewis did not have this problem so I noted the machines' serial numbers: they were both Week 41 of 2008 assembled in China.
    Bottom line: I'd probably get used to the MB trackpad's feel. It is strange that machines made during the same week exhibit, to me at least, different feeling trackpads. To come to a conclusion I need to try a third or fourth store and probably a different week's production.....
    hmmmmm so the feel is different between the Apple store and JL (and yeah i know it very well )
    so i guess the MB vary with their Trackpad feel/touch!!
    and i read as u go up on the trackpad the resistant get higher for the click even tho it is still clickable!!
    Did that help?
    IT HELPED A BIG TIME really! i don't know how i can say Thank you other than words
    u r wonderful
    and i guess of course they will feel/look better than ur PB 12" and i know coz of the glossy screens!!
    so all what i must do is just wait for couple of weeks till they are available at our Premium Reseller so i can run there and have a compare in real life
    Thx again my friend (flower)

  • Switching between the MBP and ACD

    Hi guys!
    I have just recently got both these products from Apple, and it has been confusing adapting to the Apple world. Nevertheless, it is all worth it for the long run
    I figured out how to use the ACD without having the MBP display on. But, am not able to figure out how the reverse would happen. That is, once the MBP screen is dead and the lid is open or closed - and the ACD display is the only one and main display, how do I get back to the MBP display - without having to go into the system preferences and select Display monitors option - or any other manual work.
    Of course the other could also be to just unplug the ACD plug from the MBP - but this is insane to keep doing it, if I prefer switching very often.
    Any helpful suggestions would be really welcome.
    If there was a power button on the ACD - wouldn't that have been great? I don't understand the point of having a monitor completely controlled through the laptop itself without any physical buttons.
    What if I want to keep some processing going on for the night, but want to switch the display of the ACD? That would not be possible as well, right?
    I am starting to see limitations in the system, unless I am bling and cannot see the logic behind such a design!
    Help!
    Regards,
    Raj!

    Hi Raji, I don't think there is a way to do it without going into System Preferences. Usually, I'll have my MBP hooked up to the cinema display and when I need to use the macbook screen only, I'll open the the lid and then unplug the display. When it's time to use the display again, I'll close my macbook lid and it'll go into sleep mode. Then I'll plug the display back into the macbook and wake the computer with the bluetooth keyboard.
    I guess it could kind of be annoying doing it this way if you do it often but it's not too bad I think

  • Problems waking MBP screen when connected to ext. monitor

    Whenever the screen is closed and it goes to sleep (still connected to ext monitor) then its woken by opening the lid everything will default over to the ext. monitor and the MBP screen will be blank. Unpluging and repluging gets it back but then have to move the documents around again. Is there just a setting I'm missing for this? I've looked through all the system pref. No usb/BT keyboards, just a BT mouse and it gets disconnected on sleep.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    A Bluetooth device disconnect will often cause a separate and unwanted wake-up event. I'm guessing that might be happening here. After the lid goes down and the Mac sleeps, shortly after that the BT disconnect causes the Mac to wake again and, with the lid down, only the external screen is activated and hence all the windows jump to the external screen. Next time you wake by lifting the lid, you see all the windows have moved to the external display.
    What I recommend trying is powering off the BT mouse prior to putting the Mac to sleep. You should get a message that the BT mouse has disconnected. Then close the lid on the MBP. See if that fixes the issue.

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. Am near an Apple Store, but anyone else had this problem

    My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. I'm near an Apple Store and can take the laptop in, but has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks for your input. I didn't completely flesh out what I'm seeing visually. The resolution settings are all correct for my screen. The problem is if, say, looking at the gray startup screens or a completely white full-screen image, there is a perimeter of graying, almost as if the LEDs are somehow not as bright as the rest. It's also curious that the thickness of this phenomenon is almost exactly the same as the metal bezel around the display. I will be taking it to an Apple Store for a look, as I'm also having several minor hardware problems that need to be addressed and remedied.

  • How do I configure the settings on my MBP and Apple TV so it will stream my Netflix movies from my MBP to the TV Screen?]

    I bought a new Apple TV 3rd Gen.(which is currently updated) so I could stream the Netflix movies on my MacBook Pro Computer running Yosemite, onto my TV Screen. However, if I configure the settings on my Computer and Apple TV so that everything on my Desktop is displayed on the TV Screen, then Netflix can't even get the movie on my MBP open. It just keeps spinning until I get an error message about not being able to use Mirroring or Air Play if I want to stream my movie to the TV. So, when I switched the settings so that all mirroring and Air Play options were unchecked and selected all the streaming options using the internet. Then the Netflix movie would open up quick and easy, but there was nothing on the TV Screen.
    I also was never able to Pair my Apple TV with my Bluetooth.(If they;re even supposed to be Paired, but something I read implied they should be Paired.f)  My MBP Bluetooth discovered the Apple TV immediately and issued a Pairing Number to enter in the Bluethooth's setting for the Apple TV, but the Apple TV Bluetooth just kept spinning. I don't know if that is part of the problem or not, since it wasn't mentioned in any documentation I read.
    Also, when I was digging for information on the browser, going to Netflix Website and Apple TV's information at apple.com, I did come across a few links while searching the browser for any answers to my questions, that said I needed to Activate my Netflix Account for streaming by finding my Apple TVs activation code and then enter it on Netflix's site in my Netflix account.  And other's mentioned a registration code from my Apple TV needed to be entered to activate the "streaming" of Netflix movie content. And again, I've searched for hours and hours trying to find out where or how I could find the two codes, but never had any success. So, I have exhausted all avenues I can think of and with no luck, and I'm hoping my wonderful Apple Community can help me out or get me heading in the right direction.  Thanks, RVAF

    There is a native Netflix app on Apple TV. If you are attempting to use a VPN via MBP then that is not supported.

  • Is there a way to check if the touch screen and display works whilst iPod is apart?

    Hi,
    I pulled my iPod Touch 4G apart up to the circuit board in order to pull out the headphone socket.
    Before I pulled it apart, the screen was cracked but everything was perfectly visible and the touch function worked perfectly.
    Because the screen was cracked, when I pulled the iPod apart, I obviously lost small chunks of the screen.
    Now when I plug the two plugs from the LCD screen into the circuit board and put the iPod together without screws, it looks like this:
    http://s251.photobucket.com/user/matt9210/media/2013-06-19014523_zps86e6bc6e.jpg .html
    So I'm not sure whether buying a new screen is the answer, because I'm worried it will still have the same effect on the new screen.
    Another question: The headphone socket wasn't working. I had to hold the earphones in order to get any sound, and knocking them would lose the sound. I checked with other earphones before opening the iPod, so it's a problem with the iPod. What do I do with the headphone socket to avoid this problem?
    Also, is this good enough to replace the iPod screen? A lot cheaper than I thought, thought I'd check what the catch is.

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:
