Squeaking Mac Book

[littlegreenfairy]

Mine has developed the most god awful squeak when you open/close it. Sounds like a mouse being raped. Any one else had this and was it fixed? Its SO embarassing having to open and close it anywhere quiet.


Thought I'd try here first before trying apple as the last time I asked for assistance they sent me to a repair place that didn't repair macs and would have taken 6 weeks to get it back.

Mine does that too.



Try a drop of lubricant on the edges of the hinge - it's obviously friction between the hinge and the edge(s) of the recess. Not sure what to use - something silicone based I guess?
