Does Your Macbook Creek?

when you open and shut the Lid?

mine sounds like one of those old haunted houses, good job I dont go the library😛

 

[Bobioden]

Do you mean creak? Mine is silent when I open it.

 

[GSMiller]

Mine done that too. I just put a drop of baby oil on each of the hinges, wiped up the excess, and it stopped.

If olive oil is made of olives, what is baby oil made of?

 

[forrestmc4]

1) Yes, so does mine.

2) It is clearly made of babies.

 

[David G.]

On topic, my hinges are almost silent.

Mine doesn't creak, but it sounds like it is cracking something when it first starts moving.

 

[TH-Gunner]

Mine creaks if I put pressure on it while I close it. But it doesn't creak while opening. I think this started one day when I was cleaning the case with alcohol. Also, it only creaks if I close it slowly. If I do it at regular speed, it doesn't creak.

Are you talking about the superdrive? My macbook does something with its superdrive each time it wakes from sleep (it almost sounds like it is taking a disc in, though only for a moment, which might sound a little bit like a creak)

 

[Ironduke]

no the superdrive doesnt sound like a creaking door, dont be silly😀

isnt that dangerous seeing as wires to the screen go through the hinge?

No, but I cannot brook the sound it makes while streaming video or downloading torrents. I feel like I've been sold down the river...

[FocusAndEarnIt]

I had this problem. It was annoying as hell.

Sent it in 3 times and Apple never got it fixed. Ended up giving me a replacement but then I said I'd pay the difference for a MBP... and that's where I am now.

+1

7 months since I did that and it is as quite as a sleeping baby 🙂

 

[KruseF1]

Mine definitely creaked big time. That old haunted house sound describes it well. The cause is the piece of plastic covering the hinge support. Took mine apart and re-adjusted, good as new.

 

[XP Defector]

Would olive oil work?

 

[BlackMax]

Mine does it too. It has gotten to the point that I don't notice it anymore, but it bothered me at first.

 

[BlackMax]

Would olive oil work?

I wouldn't use any olive/vegetable oil what-so-ever.

 

[AppleNinja]

my clicky thingy creak if i push down on it but don't click...

 

[Italchef]

No, but I cannot brook the sound it makes while streaming video or downloading torrents. I feel like I've been sold down the river...

Nice one. And here I thought mine was just brooken as well. I guess there was no need to get my hair all in rivulets...

 

[razyorv]

Mine used to creak but I stuck piece of waxed floss between the hinges and now it's perfectly silent.

 

[tom.]

Mine does, doesn't bother me though, which is weird since usually those kind of things drive me insane.

Drool

 

[AlexanderTgreat]

Yup sure does but not as bad as my first two did
