Question about Apple MacBook PC Notebook

2 Answers

MacBook opening screen leaves a one inch black strip on both sides.

Anyone know how to expand this screen?  I can expand all applications. Just not the opening screen which limits my ability to expand applications to full screen.

    When I open the internet my screen will not expand fully.  When I hit expand it only gets a little bit bigger and when I hit expand again it just gets smaller.  I can't figure out how to get the screen to the full size of my computer screen.

    What color is your screen?  Have you worked with your preferences folder any?  Uploaded/selected any pics for your screen pic?




    haven't seen this before.

Use the gray bar on top to move the screen to the upper left hand corner.  Then click and drag the bottom right portion of the screen to the size that you want it be.

SOURCE: My macbook pro makes the startup noise then just stays black

There's a magnetic reed switch in there, to the right of the mousepad. It's activated by a magnet in the screen, so when you close the lid the reed switch closes its circuit and the machine goes into standby. It's common for it to fail. To get your machine to start up again you'll have to remove the problem: open up the case and find that switch. Unplug and remove it and you'll find your problem is solved, although you will of course need to put it to sleep from the Apple menu from then on - it won't do it automatically any more. You can get replacement reed switches but they're not cheap.

Hope that helps!
Matt

Point the mouse at the bottom-right corner of the browser's window, and click-and-hold on that corner. Then, "drag" the mouse-pointer both "down" and "right", and then release the mouse.

Sounds like the screen cable is either partially connected, loose or has failed.

How can i remove the dvd from my mac, it is stuck. macbook pro 17 inch
A few ways of doing this

restart mac and press down the trackpad after you hear the startup noise

if that does not work try opening up disk utility and click on the icon of your disk under the left hand column then go up to eject button and click eject

or open up terminal found in the utilities folder within your applications folder and then type in drutil tray eject and then press return

Finally what to do is try pick up your macbook tilt the macbook to the one side and ise the eject key and hopefully the effect of gravity will allow the DVD to fall out.

One other way to do it which I have used recently but IT CAN BREAK THE DVD DRIVE, so only use it as a last resort. Get a thin piece of plastic and put a piece of double sided tape on it then with the macbook switched off insert the piece of plastic with the tape facing down in relation to the keyboard. Put it in about half an inch and you may be able to drag the dvd out.

Hope this helps.

Screen shrunk and can't be changed?
It sounds like the display somehow simply got set to a different resolution. Open System Preferences / Displays and choose a resolution that satisfies you.

Headphone jack must be moved around to get right speaker working
You will find that sound comes from the right side speaker only when it is bent at a certain point. By trial and error you can roughly locate the point. Then you can cut the wire at that point, cut 1 inch each from both ends, strip the cables, and connect the conductors. What has happened is, due to unusual bending, the conductors to the right-side speaker has damaged (broken). After roughly locating the place and removing 1 additional inch each, you will remove the wire section with the broken terminal. Now you can strip the wires and make the connections again. If you are not good at stripping and soldering wires, better to to take it to an electrician. (You need to take only the headphone pin and parts attached to it). This repair won't cost much. Good luck!

MacBook Repair Application
I believe you will need to download Stuffit Expander. We used to use SEA files a lot in the old mac days, but now they've been replaced by the DMG file. Anyway, Stuffit has a free version that can be found here. Since they don't make it extract itself on the new Macs, you need a program to do it now. If that doesn't work, you might have a corrupt file or something else. Let me know what happens.

2 inch Black strip on screen
It all depends where this strip is and exactly how wide it is, it could be a panel problem or one of the pcb's that control that part of the screen, if you can post a photo of it, I can tell you what is wrong with it.
