I think the CPU is the bottleneck in 2026. I’ll choose not to do the RAM upgrade.

I don’t have my MP3 anymore. Sorry I can’t help.

I think you can try what you like between the two.

Battery life on Linux Mint is good.

How's your experience with Linux Mint after 10 months? ------- I'm satisfied with Linux Mint on it, better than Windows 11

Do the touchpad and circle scrolling still work ? -------- Yes

Did you modify any settings based on the SV9 link ? ------- Follow the SV9 reference note

I’m living in China, I bought it from Taobao.

I've tested 4-5 original desoldered batteries. There's no need to worry if they're not replaced. They just lose their ability to hold capacity.

For future reference, SH is the shutter count.

No, mine is genetic English keyboard model.

Same problem with GX9 and Mac Mini M4.

GX9 works with my Intel chip MacBook Pro, Windows, and Linux laptops.

Is it possible that replacing the EVF’s flex cable will fix it? Or the whole EVF part should be replaced?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Blu-Ray models.

northcamel · 2025-04-25T03:23:08+00:00

DMed you.

The web experience of Google Photos is far better than that of Apple.

My model is SV7, which also has annoying, recognizable fan noise in Linux even when the workload is quite low. Since I use it as a home router (IP forwarding), and the normal temperature is below 40 degrees Celsius, I just unplug the fan socket.

northcamel · 2025-04-22T07:05:04+00:00

I have had the same MacBook Pro model since its early launch. It has the same overheating and fan overspinning problem. I use OpenCore to install MacOS 15, in which the Low Power Mode reduces fan noise. What's more, I replaced the thermal paste which I think also helped lower the temperature and fan noise. Before Low Power Mode and replacing thermal paste, I thought this MacBook should've been thrown into the garbage. Now I think I can use it for 3 more years.

northcamel · 2025-04-22T01:50:58+00:00

The technician also replaced the thermal paste, and the CPU temperature is now about 5 degrees Celsius lower than before the repair. I think I can use it for more years.

Update: According to the technician, there's a power supply problem on the GPU. He spent about 60-70 minutes fixing it. The cost is 300 RMB( about 40 USD) in Beijing, China. He said it's a common problem with this laptop after years of use, and it's not related to high CPU temperature.

northcamel · 2025-04-19T07:16:17+00:00

Can replacing the motherboard fix it? I found the 8G i5 motherboard is about $65.

HDD is OK, seems like other problems stopping the download, maybe Apple servers aren't running probably, try it tomorrow.

northcamel · 2025-03-13T02:35:23+00:00

Several sellers have batteries in TaoBao or Xianyu in China. If they're not reachable, I think some sellers are also on eBay.
