Macbook Pro Late 2011 Battery Life Problem

This answer is to those who have just bought MacBook Pro this Late 2011. Before going to any solution or conclusion, please try to compare the MacBook Pro (Late 2011) Battery Life benchmarking of Anandtech.com (you can find the table in the bottom part of the post). If your time record (considering the model and task) is lower than the review of that site, you can try considering these things before going back to where you bought your new laptop:


  1. Try to decrease brightness
  2. Try stopping using lots of applications running in the background like iTunes.
  3. Try not to connect many external devices – Some USB-connected devices recharge when connected to your laptop.
  4. Try considering a wired internet connection or just use Wi-Fi on simple tasks.
  5. Try not to use lots of CDs or DVDs most of the time.
  6. Try wiping the battery contacts for dusts.
  7. Try to fully discharge, and then recharge your battery without turning on your laptop.
  8. Try to use your laptop on a well-ventilated area.
  9. Try not to multi-task most of the time.
  10. Try writing a question in their forum.
If you have tried all of these and still feel you did not receive what MacBook Pro had promised, consult your retailer immediately about the problem.

How to fix Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Cooler Noise

My six-core rig is now running but I have problems with the AMD stock cooler. It seems that my motherboard’s (Gigabyte GA 890GPA-UD3H) CPU fan control push the fans speed to higher limits that it starts to make noise when the computer runs for a longer time or when it starts. I have already used the Easy Tune 6 utility from Gigabyte and though I controlled the speed of the fans, it will still run up to 6000 rpm when the computer boots. Therefore, I decided to find a quieter CPU cooler. I ran to the computer shop and the only CPU cooler that they have is the Antec Kuhler H2O 620. I was only thinking of an air cooler but the time I saw the box, I was indulge to it. Liquid cooling system is not really my first choice because it is more expensive. However, we the alarming noise I am experiencing on my new six-core PC, I have no reason not to buy it. I admit the installation manual and even the forums I read on the internet were a little bit confusing, but I still managed to instal...

How to fix notebook hard disk error (Neo Basic B3233)

Yesterday, my NEO Basic B3233 notebook crashed down and it would not boot anymore. My first diagnosis is overheating or it is just the brownout, which causes some electrical surges on the computer. I rested it for a while but when I boot it again, it says DISK ERROR. I would like to explore more on the causes of the error but I guess I do not have enough time for it. So, I'd better be starting my fix ASAP. Since it is a Hard Disk error, the problem is of course the hard disk and not the hardware, because it is not too old. My guess is the system inside it. Windows 7 might encounter an error that it is in tack anymore. Therefore, my best fix would be reformatting the hard disk and have a clean OS installation. I cannot use Windows 7 hard disk repair or error checking this time because it will not boot. The computer is useless this time so I need to remove the hard disk. How to remove a notebook hard drive? It is usually found under your notebook and it has screws ...

How To Install Steam OS Without UEFI motherboard

I will teach you how to install Steam OS into your motherboard that does not have UEFI bios. The default Steam OS installation requires UEFI bios or it will not work. I did some Googling and found a way to bypass that and everything works perfectly afterwards. It is just slightly more difficult but do not worry. For those who do not know what steam OS is, it is an operating system created by Valve. It is a Linux with Debian Weezy on top and can run Linux programs if you want to.
