A strange red light from my MacBook Pro

By marcus • Apr 5th, 2007 • Category: geek •

A very strange thing just occurred with my MacBook Pro. The audio output stopped completely, it was working earlier today. I tried to change the volume, and it showed as muted but with full volume, a bit weird. Plus it started emitting a strange red light out of the headphone jack.

A little searching and supposedly the headphone jack does optical audio out, which some how must of got turned on. Considering all I use the headphone jack for is headphones, I’m not sure how that happened.

After a little more searching, configuration changes and attempts to restore audio output, I just ended up plugging in my headphones hoping it will some how reverse it’s current state. And it worked. Go figure.

Here is a link to their forum http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3255575.
I also got mine working with the toothpick. Inserted it gently a few time in the 6-7 o’clock position. There is a very small sensor or ?? in the back of the port. Once you touch it lightly, all is back to normal. I hope that works for you.

3.4.2. Binary Packages

Binary packages are standalone binary installers that are precompiled; they do not require MacPorts on the target system. Binary files created with MacPorts may be either .pkg (Mac OS X Installer Packages), or RPM (RPM Package Manager) format. MacPorts may also process a .pkg package into a Mac OS X .dmg disk image file. You may create binary packages with the port command as shown in these examples.

%% port pkg pstree

You may create a Mac OS X .dmg disk image file as shown.

%% port dmg pstree

You may compile a port into an RPM file as shown, in order to install it onto a target that has RPM utilities or a full package management system that can install RPMs.
