Anybody else having this problem? Just recently finally I saved up enough and bought myself a nice 2019 MacBookPro (16,1)...

I suspect Some process kept getting restored on reboot that required closing all finder windows and unchecking “re-open windows when logging back in” on the restart box closed out whatever it was. Rebooting alone did not solve it, and it did not happen in a clean install. Only after that box was unchecked and restarted did it go away.

I have noticed on my new system that when I use an extra display it switches from integrated graphics into the more energy hogging extreme graphics. I don't see any way around this other than using the correct wattage adapter and plugging in during use. Now I will say other than size I do like the Apple adapters there was some big chunkers at one point and until they made the cords detachable I replaced mine every time they frayed with real copper cabling. So I would say the solution would be to plug-in when you can because you're going to put cycles on that non-replaceable battery and definitely for presentations unfortunately. The good news is there's most likely an outlet at the presentation station. Another possible option would be to get the higher power wattage adapter to help with that you're using the more powerful discrete graphics processor.

This is a great step-by-step walk-through. I went into replace a keyboard with all the wrong tools with me and I found out the client ordered the wrong keyboard thankfully no liquid damage inside. I found a few steps that were not required unless you were doing a parts swap to another system. I managed to instead clean out the keys without breaking the key caps and somehow the wrong keyboard had the right donor parts to fix the arrow key.

Can I really say I completed this when I ended up not replacing the keyboard?

FYI keep your liquids away from your computer!

I do have to say this system is pretty serviceable, cough if the manufacturer has parts.

This is another redundant step since this is only to secure the fans to the heat pipe fan housing. And really tiny screws to lose.

Again unless you are transferring the card it does not need to be removed as it is fixed to the main board.

This step is not needed unless you are transferring the card, the post that it is attached to is fixed to the main board not the case.

This will work and well I would say it's not necessarily the best way it would get it done.

Be careful when cutting the old battery make sure you don't have a short on the ribbon cable to short out the new battery.

Then the pads should just overlay the old ones.

I hope this isn't from a repair shop and that it's just somebody who's done this to their own device.

Extremely helpful, would that be a micro pall worth of flux? Or some other Rosman repair measurement?

LoL, VVS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt9zSfin...

I was also feeling brave enough to tackle my little problem, you see I have noticed for a while a crackling sound in my speakers and I am not one to crank it up to 11, so I assumed that something might have gotten in there between the grill and the speaker ( I also thought it would be neat to check out this whole speaker subwoofer assembly ). I also just recently noticed it earlier on the right side which is directly above the optical drive ( yes I still have one of those! ) so I figured it would be pretty easy to quickly get to and I was right. all went fine and dandy until I went to unplug the cable for the speaker………… Whereupon, I IMMEDIATELY RIPPED THE CONNECTOR OFF THE CIRCUIT BOARD!!!!!!!!! Now mind you I've been through this before and I certainly wasn't rushing it, I already knew which way the connector worked because I discovered them when I took the fans out to clean them...

I'm over 1024 characters and I'm not rewriting it, So your getting 4 comments! you'll see why!

So recently I switched from "smcFanControl" to "Macs Fan Control" ( because I wanted temperature controlled fan speeds ) and it has been running really well. so I thought that today was a good time ( 1:00 or 1AM ) to do some system maintenance on my MacBook Pro. And out came my trusty "iFixIt 54 bit driver Kit" and off went the bottom to dust everything out to prepare for the winter.
