MacBook Pro:: Torx T6 - Unscrew Without Screwdriver? Aug 5, 2010 I need one to upgrade my HDD.
I don't have a shop near me and don't really want to wait for an ordered one. Could someone suggest how I could unscrew them without the screwdriver? Similar Messages:. ADVERTISEMENT Sep 18, 2008 I just acquired a G4 Power Mac and have noticed some odd screws I don't have tools for; maybe someone here has dealt with this before.
I have searched the forums here and found a previous discussion about the main case screws near the handles. Someone said that they are 2.5mm hex, but on my case a 3mm hex fit perfectly. But the problem I have is with the really bitty hex screws that hold the keyboard together.
The guy at the local hardware store was convinced that they are Torx, but the only torx we could get to fit, a T5, was rather loose and has now rounded off to the point where it won't do anything. And I am now convinced these ARE hex. But the size is in the 1.25mm range and I can't find any actual tools like that. I know for sure that.050' (1.27mm) is too big. The T5 torx measures.048'. I suppose that the simple thing to do is file a.050' one down just enough to fit.
Anybody know? There must be some special Apple tool for this. Oct 9, 2009 I am looking for a screwdriver or a bit that works to remove the battery in a mid-09 15' Macbook Pro.
Instead of the typical tri-wing that Apple has used in the past, this screw is a 5-pointed torx with a post, requiring a special driver to remove it. It is a size-6 (TX6) bit, bit with the 5 points and the post, I cannot find a driver to remove it. Has anyone had success with this?
Jul 1, 2012 I have Macbook pro late 2011 model. I want to know the screwdriver specifications to open the lid for ram upgrade. Model Name:MacBook Pro Model Identifier:MacBookPro8,1 Info: MacBook Pro May 2, 2010 So I need to take apart my MBP and will need a tri wing screwdriver.BUT I don't own one. Is there a B&M store that sells these? I googled and honestly couldn't find anything but online shops.
I live in California, so if anyone knows stores here that sell them, that would be great. Also, if there's any other 'normal' screwdrivers that would get the job done just as well, I'd like to know about em. Aug 26, 2009 Just use a pair of pliers! Worked like a charm. Nov 25, 2009 I was wondering if anyone knew what size torx wrench needs to be used for the rails on the HDD in the unibody MBP? Is it a T6 or T8? Dec 5, 2009 So i take it I need a torx T6 screw driver to install a new HDD into my 13' mbp.
Where can I buy one of those? Dec 17, 2009 I'm upgrading my HD on my Macbook, I read that you need a Torx T9 and I also read a place that suggested a Torx T8. I was going to pick one up at the hardware store (I don't own either) and I was wondering which size is better? Or perhaps it just doesn't matter? Jul 24, 2009 Just a report on my successful upgrade from a Mac Pro 2006 2.66 quad (5150s) to a 3.00 quad (5160s). It was pretty easy, but I can't stress enough having the right tools, particularly the long, thin 3mm allen wrench. You need about 10' of length to get down to the heatsink nuts on the motherboard.
I thought my adjustable screwdriver with extender would work, but the extender was too fat for the cutouts in the heatsink. You need a rod no more than 5/16' wide. Also, though people have said that a 15 Torx works (it does), I actually think the 3mm hex is the perfect fit. It may be tough finding these locally, even at a home depot, so you may want to buy online ahead of time unless you want to splurge and buy a set of long allen wrench keys ($25 and up). The other challenge was connecting the lower heatsink's temperature sensor cable to the motherboard. If you have fat fingers like me, an angled hemostat or needlenose pliers will help you get into the tight space. And lastly, a small vacuum cleaner would be useful to suck all of the dust bunnies off the heatsinks and the fans and out of the motherboard's nooks and crannies.
While you're in there, you might as well clean it out Aug 25, 2009 I have a problem which I couldn't solve for quite a while now. I bought a new WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB for my uMBP 13. I can't, however, figure out which screwdriver I need for those mounting screws that have to be removed in order to change the drives. I first bought a Torx 6 (Black & Decker TX 6) which is too big. I then ordered both a Torx 4 and Torx 5 from eBay. They are both too small. So what is wrong here?
Anyone had the same problem? Or any alternative solutions w/o using a Torx driver? Aug 15, 2010 Can anyone tell me the torx size of the stand of the iMac 27'? I need to remove the stand to transport the iMac (plane). What's the correct torx wrech to use? Jun 28, 2010 So last December my laptop got smashed and everything works except for the backlit screen. In fact I can still use this laptop it is just extremely hard since the screen does not light up.
The person that smashed it ended up buying me a new laptop so I have this beat up (and I mean the shell is destroyed) laptop with quite a lot of functioning parts. Now a few weeks ago my girlfriends Grandad spilled a beer on his brand new 2010 Macbook.

The logic board is shot so it is almost cheaper for him to buy a brand new laptop. Would it be possible for me to take the logic board out of my 2008 Black Macbook and put it into his 2010 White Macbook? Oct 27, 2010 By far the most interesting benchmark trend coming out of the latest Macbook Air tests is that of the 320M GPU - is this thing somehow clocked differently than in the Macbook/Macbook Pro? From: URL The latest Macbook Pro 13' 2.4 Ghz gets 33 FPS in Call of Duty 4, whereas the Macbook Air 13' (using the same 320M GPU) gets 40 FPS. Even the 1.4Ghz 11' gets 37!
So obviously we're not talking about a CPU limited game - the only explanation then is that the GPU in the Macbook Air is clocked differently than in the 13' Macbook Pro, no? From: URL Again the Macbook Air clocked at 2.13 ghz is beating the 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro in World of Warcraft and Portal! And in WOW the 11' 1.4ghz still manages to beat the 2.4 Ghz 13' Macbook Pro. Anyone have any additional insight into this? Anand did a terrible job of testing these for gaming performance, unfortunately, so he may not have even noticed this trend. Apr 24, 2010 Is the white one the same size as the 13' aluminum that now went pro?Pretty much, I want to know if I buy a case for the original 13' Metal uMB from InCase, will it fit on this plastic one?
They don't have blue for this, but they have blue for the original aluminum one. Nov 20, 2010 I have a 2008 13' white, plastic MacBook.
Its a bit slow, but adequate. Thinking of selling it and paying the difference to get the 11' MacBook Air. I've heard it is similar in speed and has the same processor. The main problem I have with my current MacBook is that its heavy - I need something lightweight to easily carry to school and class for note-taking and such. How is the Air better or worse, and would I be losing anything significantly by replacing the 08 plastic MB with a MBA? Macbook '08 specs: URL Jul 11, 2009 I just upgraded my daughter from last year's MacBook to a new 2009 MacBook Pro (my mother will get her old one) by cloning the drive using SuperDuper. Everything works fine except it doesn't detect the audio hardware in the OS.

I see that the new macbook pro has different audio hardware according to system profiler. Is there a way to copy the driver off the install DVD or should I just go ahead and reinstall everything. Apr 19, 2010 Have searched on Mroogle but couldnt find what i was looking for.
I have my Blackbook connected to my tv via mini dvi to dvi then to hdmi, but i also have another laptop which is the old style Macbook Pro. I was looking for a piece of software that would let me use the other laptop which isnt connected to the tv as a wireless keyboard and mouse? Anyone ever tried this before? Apr 23, 2012 My MacBook Pro was stoen this weekend and I need to know if the Find My Mac service can help locate it. Its a summer 2009 model 15' Macbook Pro. I have the computer's serial number, and the computer is registered to my Apple ID.
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.53 GHz) Apr 24, 2008 I just bought a macbook as a replace for my five year old iBook. I was planning on purchasing a second power adapter. I like the size and more rugged connector on the Macbook Air power adapter. I have searched around and it sounds like the Air adapter will work with a MacBook but I am not completely convinced.
I understand that this adapter will only charge or power the unit but not both. Has anyone tried their Air adapter on a MacBook? Could an Air owner tell me the voltage and current rating (outputs) on their adapter? Feb 14, 2009 I currently play warcraft on my older macbook pro. I am attracted by the latest macbook/macbook pros. But will the latest macbook still play warcraft well, or do I stay with the latest macbook pro? Nov 18, 2009 I wanted to know if I can replace the upper case of a Core Duo white macbook with that of a Core 2 Duo black macbook?

The white one has the distinctive yellowing of the rev A macbooks, so i'd like to make it better whilst making a black/white frankenMac. If not, can I at least replace the airport card? Apr 15, 2009 I'm putting a computer in my kitchen that anybody in the house can use (kids & parents). It will be hooked up to a 24' LCD and also act as a small file server, dvd player and perhaps eyetv dvr. I like the mini because it is small (can hide in the cabinet where spills won't get it), is cheap and uses only 13W when idle. But when I think down the road, 4 year old laptops seem a lot more useful than 4 year old mac minis.
So I'm a bit torn. So my questions are: - Does anybody know how much power the macbook uses when 'idle' (just running finder). Can the macbook be run with the lid closed? (I know old powerbooks used to vent hot air through the keyboard.) (Then again, I have the computer in the kitchen so I can watch my kids on the computer. In 4 years they'll be 5 years old and probably want a laptop they could have in their own room - exactly what I want to avoid.
And I'll probably upgrade my macbook pro by then anyway.) Oct 31, 2010 I have a late 2009, white unibody MacBook which is 7 months old, and I have been noticing that the battery life is getting less and less, and am rather confused.I reset the SMC as per Apple instructions, and then followed the battery calibrating guide to the letter from apple.com, and tonight it seems to have lasted. Hardly the quoted 7 hours that Apple spec, and I am simply doing light web browsing, nothing else.Am I doing something wrong? The machine sits connected to magsafe 90% of the time, but I cannot envisage that would cause any problem, as it knows when it is charged, so afaik no more current can get to the battery to damage it Mar 26, 2012 Is this simply because I have too much data on the hard drive, or is there a solution/what is it?? Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.6.8) Jun 13, 2012 se nesesita algun adaptador, pero no puedo configurarlo y no me lo reconoce Jun 18, 2012 I'm upgrading my 2009 MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Pro with retina display.
