So you went from too noisy to stopping occasionally-that's normal. Macbook fans come on when CPU utilisation goes up as well as when temperature goes up. If you're doing something that will make the CPU hot due to high use (gaming, video etc), it will kick the fans in to stop it getting to hot in the first place, this is good. When it's cooled or not getting hot they should stop. If you install a 3rd party utility you could determine if your macbook is still overheating, and that would be a problem that needs fixing. FWIW moving the macbook while running & jostling it is not a good practice. You can damage the HD if it the read write heads aren't parked quickly enough.

PGP is design to protect the machine and its contents... all sorts of conventional hacks/craks are circumvented, if they weren't it wouldn't be doing it's job.

Quote from herman428:

If I replaced the logic board and still get nothing past the Apple logo, how do I know it's a faulty cable and which one... ? Is it possible that it's the hard drive ? The hard drive seems to be active and spinning when listening to it close up against my ear. Not sure which way to go here.

When I changed out my battery on my Video iPod I messed up the cable connection for the battery on the logic board. So I replaced my logic board but the new logic board only comes up in a Sad Face icon. It makes a click when I try to reset the iPod each time. What do I need to do now? I'm stuck!

Help!

Quote from Baaald:

I have a problem with my macbook A1181.

When the laptop is running, if I press hard the keyboard or the case on the left or right, my computer shuts down immediately.

At the same time, if I press hard the keyboard, the Shutdown window pops up asking me if I want to shutdown the pc and in some cases after some seconds it shuts down anyway.

I can't use my laptop anymore.

Any suggestions?

Thanks! This website is terrific!
