  • I'm looking for screws for the bottom of my macbook pro unibody.

    I need screws for the bottom of my macbook pro unibody. They started falling out after I upgraded my RAM, apparently they had some type of threadlock on them. Apple was of little help and directed me to a an apple store or service center which is not convienent. So far, I've been only able to find the 'old' pack of 5 screws, not the pack of 10 that my mac requires. I did find one seller on ebay advertising them but would like to avoid that path if possible. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreaciated. Thanks

    No this is not a common problem.  Have you had the bottom off before?
    The factory set screws you see a bit if blue lock tight which makes it more difficult the first time out.
    They can replace the screws over the counter at any authorized repair service or Genius bar:

  • I need the rubber foot at the bottom of my Macbook. It's impossible to find.

    I lost the rubber foot at the bottom of my Macbook. This has been an adventure in trying to get this. I wanted to purchase it online. Not available!! So I chat with Apple, the guy tries really hard to get it for me. Hi finds it in his system but CANNOT mail to me. Not allowed! I go to Apple store, they say I have to make an appointment with the Genius bar. I try to do that online, it won't let me, because it wants to solve through apple support or chat.
    Are they kidding? A rubber foot? I am really frustrated!! Can some one help?

    Neil,
    I was at the Genius Bar for another problem and mentioned the feet falling off the bottom of my MBP. The Genius's answer was that the important thing was to keep dirt from getting inside the case, so I should just take off the bottom cover and put electrical tape over the holes.
    There are a few considerations for this DIY approach. First, I like the bit of stickiness that the feet give the case so it doesn't slide around, so I want something on the outside. Second, some people may not be comfortable taking apart the case and may not even have a properly sized Phillips screwdriver. Third, if you haven't seen the instructions for removing the cover, you may not realize that the screws on the front and sides of the cover go in at an angle. Even though I wanted my new feet to be installed on the outside, I wanted to look around on the inside to see if there were any loose foot parts lying around in there.
    It happens that I have a screwdriver that came with a memory expansion kit, so I used that. If you need to purchase one, it's a size 00.  I laid down a large towel on my work service to keep from scratching the top cover when working on the upside down MBP, and to collect any run-away screws so they wouldn't end up on the floor. I removed the screws and set them on the towel next to the holes they came out of so I would get them beck into the same place they came from when reinstalling. Note that there is one short screw in the back and the rest are longer, at least on my model. That's why it's important to keep track of them.
    With the back off I could see that there was a lot of dust inside the case already, probably mostly from the vent fan pulling it in. I cleaned up using a vacuum cleaner and a soft paintbrush.
    Before starting the job I went to Home Depot and checked out the selection of feet in the area where they have stick-on pads to prevent furniture from scratching floors, etc. I chose 2" wide, thin, adhesive-backed pads that came in a package of 8 for about $2.50. I liked the shape because it thought it would be less likely to peel off than a taller pad, and there was no question that it would completely cover the holes in the case.
    This is a good time to punch out any feet that didn't separate on their own. Next I cleaned the bottom panel with alcohol so the adhesive would be effective and put the pads in place, nearly centered over the original foot holes, but offset enough so as to not cover the screw holes. I firmly pressed the pads into place, being careful not to allow any wrinkles.
    Finally I replaced the panel and secured it with the screws, remembering to angle the screws, except in the rear.
    I week later, I love the result. The pads have just the right stickiness and I think they work better than the originals at keeping the computer from sliding away when I'm actually using it on my lap. I haven't noticed any loss of case cooling either, but I think that may be difficult to tell. The fans haven't been running any more than usual. The pads show no tendency to peel off, at least not yet. Every pick your computer with one hand, between your thumb and forefinger? Well, it's very easy with the larger "feet".
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1338 screw came out of the bottom of my MacBook pro

    One of the short tiny screws on the bottom of my MacBook Pro came lose and is now gone. Since 2011 (when I got my mac) I've had to periodically check the bottom screws to make sure they were secure and now one has come out and is lost. My question is where can I buy new screws and what size are they? I already have and use a #00 Philips screwdriver from a sewing machine to screw them in.

    If your screws keep coming out get some Locktite Theadlocker
    <http://www.loctiteproducts.com/threadlocking-mechanical.shtml>
    Use a tiny bit on the end of the screw (it does not even need to go all the way around, just a very tiny bit will do).  It will keep the screw from moving without the use of a screwdriver.

  • I wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off

    You should perform this procedure when you first use your computer? is this true? new macbook pro on may 11 2010 what happed was today on may 22 2010 i wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. 3 times Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. WHY? does this mean the battery is bad?
    Resetting the PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html) fixed the problem in my case. then i did the calibrate the battery again this time it went to sleep not shut down i did this 3 more times why?
    the 3 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010

    the 9 more 4 in 10.6.4 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010 but if it happens again you should try
    i hate to do this reinstalling the OS, if this do not work also, then you should call apple, or take your MBP to an apple store. on june 24 2010 i am going to talk to spence about this. so what do i do now? this happed on june 16 2010 4 more times
    without entering SafeSleep. only one time it worked on 10.6.4

  • Air bubbles on the bottom of my Macbook?

    There are a few small air bubbles on the bottom of my Macbook. I think they may be heat related, but I haven't left the computer in any highly heated environments. Is it possible that heat generated by the computer itself may have caused this?
    Also, could these bubbles pose more than a cosmetic problem, in the future? Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Hi
    Could you give us more details please; maybe put a photo somewhere on the net so we can see the problem.
    Thanks

  • Why everytime i charge my macbook, my macbook machine always make big noise and at the bottom of my macbook is so hot...

    can anyone tell me what's going with my macbook pro or my macbook's charger. i notice these couple days, everytime i use my macbook pro either light or heavy using with charger on the machine/macbook on the bottom is so hot and make very heavy noise. and after 10 minutes, the body of the charger is also become so hot. can anyone tell or fix the problem please...

    **If you only hear it in a quiet room, that is normal.
    noisy fan reasons:
    A: you notice it more in a quiet room (the typical case) which is normal, all is AOK
    B: fuzz and dust has caked onto the blades causing the fan hub to get off balance and make a buzzing sound.
    C: fan rotor is going bad and making a whirring, scraping or buzz noise (rare).
    D: Fan is spinning up due to excess heat from gaming, heavy graphics (typical, all is OK)
    A and D are normal
    B and C are not.
    Do you use it in a dusty area or where there is a lot of pet fuzz?   Laptop fans act like little vacuum cleaners and take in dust etc. from the ambient air around them.
    If B and C continue for a long time (B is just a cleaning), they eventually cause the fan to either seize and/or die.

  • Scratches on the bottom of my MacBook Pro

    My own carelessness has unfortunately resulted in scratches on the bottom edges of my MacBook Pro.
    There is also a rather unsightly crack that has appeared from the top right hand corner where the charger connects to the middle section on the bottom of the laptop.
    I am just wondering if it possible to get these fixed and if so, how and where?
    Much appreciated.

    I have a few very faint scratches on my Unibody bottom from when it was sitting uneven on a table (wood edge then glass center). Since I don't actually ever see my bottom, only when I'm cleaning it, I don't really care about that much. The top lid and the actual keyboard area is where I'm concerned and I try really hard to keep that scratch-free. So far so good.
    One thing to watch out for. If you use a case with a zipper, be careful that you don't zip it quickly and scratch the aluminum. For cases that fit snugly, this can be an issue.

  • Where can I get replacement screws for the bottom of my MacBook Pro?

    I have a late 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro. I recently upgraded it from the stock 500 gigabyte 5400 RPM hard drive to a 750 gigabyte 7200 RPM Seagate Momentus XT Solid State Hybrd drive. When I was putting the screws back in the bottom case  I lost one of the small screws. Now the bottom case of my MacBook is little loose due to the missing screw. Where can I get a replacement screw?
