I have not heard a MacBook Pro hum before. Hopefully you are still under warranty if you want to get it fixed. -- John Rearick www.bobbis.net jrearick@bobbis.net On Sep 3, 2008, at 11:26 AM, Clark Colby wrote: > I have a MacBook Pro and when I open it sometimes it hums.

From tedger at iastate.edu Wed Sep 3 14:04:29 2008 From: tedger at iastate.edu (Trevin Ward) Date: Wed Sep 3 14:04:37 2008 Subject: AmesMUG: Vibration Hum In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: s someone that works down there, without seeing it myself and getting a better idea my first guess would be fans simply because they are positioned at the rear of the machine and are relatively close to the hinges, potentially causing vibration. On the other hand I can't say I've ever seen a fan fail or end up positioned in such a way to do that, I'd really have to look at it to get an idea of what is going on. Giving the machine an initial inspection doesn't cost anything assuming we don't have to check it in and take it apart or do anything that takes more than a few minutes to figure out what is wrong. Even if it isn't under warranty bring it down to 74 Durham and we might be able to give you a better idea of what is going on.

If you don't know what NSCoder night is you can go here ( http://nscodernight.com/ .) In short NSCoder night is an extremely informal get together of Cocoa Developers where basically it's just coding and working on your Mac / iPhone projects in a relaxing atmosphere where you can get help from fellow Cocoa Developers or just have informal discussions, basically you just work on or talk about whatever you want for how ever long you want (presumably till the venue closes at the latest). Where CocoaHeads meets are usually more formal (well... supposed to be) and structured around a presentation with some discussion and free time at the end, NSCoder nights are all about working on Cocoa Projects and finding solutions to problems in your Projects or just getting advice from from fellow Cocoa Developers. NSCoder nights are meant to complement CocoaHeads meetings and will never conflict with CocoaHeads meetings scheduling wise. I am planning on having a NSCoder night Tuesday in Ames at some place like The Stomping Grounds, The Library or Starbucks or if someone knows another great place to do this like if there is someplace at ISU to meet then we can do it there. If enough people come from around other areas we can do the same thing we do with CocoaHeads and meet at some location somewhere in the middle geographically on alternate meetings. I will definitely be around to help out in addition to working on my projects. Right now (unless someone can suggest a better place) the NSCoder night this week will be at The Stomping Grounds ( http://www.amesbeat.com/restaurant/stomping-grounds.htm ) in Ames at 7pm on Tuesday. Be There! I will try to post the meeting times to Chris Hanson ( http://twitter.com/nscodernight ) on twitter and will also mention it on my twitter feed (http://twitter.com/cocoasamurai .)
