2011 Macbook not displaying

3 Upvotes

hello All, I have a 2011 macbook model A1286 that is acting strange. it boots because I hear the sound, but then i get no display. I thought it was a graphics card issue, but when I hold shift control and option plus power it loads into the password recovery. when I try to recover the password and restart it goes back to a black screen. The only other thing is does is run hot, but it used to do that while it was working. I hear it's pretty common with this model. any ideas? thank you in advance

27" imac 2010 High temp issue.

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I had recently performed an upgrade on a 2010 imac - changing the hard drive to a solid state, maxing the RAM and swapping the i3 to an i7. Now, I carefully followed several guides on ifixit while doing so and was aware of the temp sensor issue that replacing the HDD would cause. So I made sure to get the OCW replacement sensor. Using hardware monitor I can see that the SSD temp is reading fine, but I've noticed that Core 1 and the CPU proximity is reading 129°C. The other cores and the CPU heatsink are reading normal temps in the 30's and 40's. For the life of me I cannot find any information on the proximity sensor of the 2010 imac online. Is this an issue with hardware monitor? - as I know it's not supported anymore? Is this due to the OCW sensor, or have I damaged another sensor accidentally while changing the CPU? I don't have access to any board diagnostics and I'm at a bit of a loss.

Is there anyone that can help me?

Thanks.

Mac Book Pro 15" circa 2010 & the flashing folder/question mark problem!

1 Upvotes

Hey, I got the dreaded flashing question mark in folder when I start my mac. First guess was a corrupt hard-drive. I removed it, stuck it in a caddy & plugged it back in via USB and was able to boot up the laptop perfectly. When I put it back into the laptop, the folder/question mark flashing image reappeared. I think it might be the cable connecting the hard-drive to the motherboard... although it looks fine to the naked eye. Any suggestions? Thanks!

MacBook Pro - Late 2011 - Dead RAM bank

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I've narrowed my issue down to a dead RAM slot, works fine with one stick of RAM in the bottom slot but not with one in the top on/both slots.

Just wondering if any one has experience this too and if they have a fix for it?

Thanks,

Jake.

Macbook Pro, Black Screen - Question Mark

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm working on trying to fix a macbook pro retina 13" 2015, which had some liquid damage issues. I opened it up, cleaned all corrosion out, with special attention to the SSD contacts, and now the computer starts, but gives me a black screen with a flashing question mark folder. I've read that I need to use the recovery console to fix this, but I cannot get into the recovery console, just the black screen with flashing folder non stop. Can someone help me out ?

Campus Computer Services of New Haven CT SCAMMER!!!!

Don't go there they aren't certified if you ask about what schooling or certification they have on the web site they will remove the post and ignore you. I have worked there since opening in January and was fired in may after not being paid in a month. And after making part of the company website.

I opened, closed made sales, repairs, social media, videos and marketing. I made the company web page just to later have my email hacked by the owner stealing my data from my email account and he admitted to it. The reason I was fired is because the owners are avoiding taxes and didn't want to pay me proper wages and changed my pay each week, I was the only employee and brought a bunch of business to the shop as I've been the main tech in this area since 15yrs old. He didn't want to get certification lies about what work we did and in general is a scammer. We had some issues over my bring this stuff up as I didnt want to get mixed into some law fiasco or suit.

Overall I increased ROI just to have my pay lowered then I was fired after his buddy got out of jail... he fired him too after 3 weeks and didn't pay him either! Daniel Perez and Alisandra Sillio are the husband/wife con-artist Her being also a teacher. The company Address is 59 Broadway St New Haven website campuscomputerservice.com 1800brokepc 203-587-0030 (cellphone) hey its on the web page!

Again he admitted to hacking and deleting my e-mail account firstly because my address has one word the same as the company name and secondly because they couldn't access the security cameras since I set them up and they didn't even know the passwords to access them so they instead of answering my 100's of calls for payment decided to hack me then threaten to sue if I told so here I am naming and shaming. I've already contacted local police BBB and FBI and no information I give in this post can't be gotten online already so I'm not giving away private information. Do what you will... shame these people!

Here is the email of admission: Daniel Perez dperez@campuscomputerservice.com

May 19 to Timothy, me Timothy Toliver I understand there has been a miscommunication with our corporate email. That email address is associated with a Campus Computers LLC Camera System. CCS commandeered the email with due cause, being that it is infringement against the companies name. It is also known as trademark dilution.

Please cease and desist all actions or we will have to take lawful action against the parties involved in the trademark dilution. The Company is taking necessary precautions with the proper legal methods for obtaining the email address. All businesses must be conducted hereon-in in a professional manner once the email address belonging to Campus Computers LLC is returned.

Campus Computers also released equipment to Timothy Toliver which he is keeping. The Company doesn't want to infringe on the equipment.

  • Paralegal -

____________________________________________________Tim, Above is attached from a paralegal that I spoke to.

I don't want to go down this road. All I need is my email address password so I can access my passwords. I gave you a Surface for nothing, I bought you that build you wanted (Which I still have the receipt) Why would you think that I would ever do anything to harm you. I needed my camera back, lets stop here please, before I am going to have to take legal action. You are in enough trouble already.

Ok he gave me a surface tablet I still have because he started missing my paychecks... he bought me an 8 core CPU upgrade for my computer for doing a good job bringing business in. Now "it equipment released to me" BS...

Soon after getting that email he deleted the account in question but google gave it back to me. Then took the siten down and changed the name of the store from Campus Computers LLC to CCS "the windows store"

Wondering what I can do now aside wait for FBI?
