Mid-2010 MacBook Pro random shutdown

Hi all, hoping you can help me with my very annoying shutdown issue. Sometimes it will happen within minutes of boot and sometimes the MBP will run for several hours without issue before it happens.
I've been able to replicate the shutdown across OSes (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion). Initially I thought it might be bad memory but through swapping memory and running the AHT on a loop for several hours I've determined memory isn't the issue. I've reset the NVRAM, PRAM and SMC several times with no luck. Hard drive and battery is working properly and the AHT is finding no errors with the logic board. Pretty sure I've tried everything I can before bringing it in for service. And of course I'm just past the 3 year warranty date. Help!

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

    You're welcome. Your panic report seems to have the same references mine did regarding the graphics card. I went to the Genius Bar because everything I tried to solve the problem didn't help. These are 2 of the links to info. that gave me hope that I might get the problem "permanently" solved without having to pay for repairs.

    Boy am I bad at this. I left out the Apple link that specifically addresses the issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088.

  • Mid 2010 macbook pro panic shutdown

    My mid 2010 Macbook pro is experiencing an increasing number of black screen shut downs.. 3 or 4 a day currently.
    Often this occurs when the keyboard or mouse is touched after it has been idle for a short period, and sometimes mid use.
    Ive tried running without any peripherals  to no effect and carried out basic disc doctor / onyx procedures to no lasting effect.
    Any interpretation of this would be a great help.
    Here is a crash report ..
    thx

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by this recall.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
    Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they might still be covered.
    Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired free of charge, and you don't want to pay for the service, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.
    If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro Randomly goes back to login screen?

    My mid-2010 MBP will randomly log me out.  I'll be on the internet or working on a paper and it will go to the blue screen that occurs when you're booting up the computer and then to my login screen, where I have to type in my username and password again.  Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro randomly restarting

    Hello,
    I wanted to drop Apple an email regarding this issue, but they seem careless about customers living in countries with Apple resellers only and don't think they might need to get expert help via email. Better buy a PC next time. I hope I will at least find some help here. I also think my problem might apply to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Here is the letter:
    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I have a Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, on which I have been running Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion with no problems. But recently I have been working with my computer when suddenly screen turned black and the computer restarted. (Actually, when it restarted for first time it shut down before the startup sound, but booted up without problems after I turned it on via the power button.) Since it was the first time I didn't pay attention.
    Then after a few days it happened again, but this time the computer didn't seem like booting up again. When I finally got to the grey screen I tried safe booting with verbose mode, which sadly ended with the same restart after “DSMOS has arrived” line. From this I assume the problem won't lie in non-stock kernel extensions. I also tried resetting NVRAM with no success.
    I had a flash drive with stock Mountain Lion installer, succesfuly booted it up and let it run for a while, after about 15 minutes it shut down with the same black screen. From this I assume that the problem dosen't lie in my current Mountain Lion installation.
    From report logs I can tell two kernel extensions common to all the restarts: com.apple.NVDAResman, com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal; and four appearing only in some cases: com.apple.driver.AGPM, com.apple.GeForce, com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport, com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily.
    This made me suspicious about the dedicated Nvidia graphic card. I installed an utility called gfxCardStatus, which not only shows which card is currently in use, but also allows for force using of specific card. I also installed NovaBench to have some GPU-heavy benchmark available. When I run NovaBench, the computer switched from integrated to dedicated card with no problems, and the benchmark succesfuly finished. But when I tried forcing switch to any of the cards the computer restarted with the black screen. This made me suspicious about the logic board instead of specific graphics card.
    The problems also occurs when waking up form sleep. Sometimes it would wake up normally, but sometimes it would immidiately restart to a grey screen saying “Your computer restarted because of a problem. Wait a few seconds or press a key to continue starting up.”
    To summarize the problem, the computer restarts randomly and fails to wake up from sleep sometimes. I got it as a gift from my father, who lives in Slovakia and have bought it from local reseller. The problem is that I live in Czech Republic and I have some doubts regarding the quality of support at resellers. (Namely I am afraid they will say “See, it runs. There's no problem.”) Also I need to constantly work on a project for school competition, which is mostly done in Photoshop, and longer time without my computer would severely threaten the deadline. I would be very grateful to first have an opinion from Apple empolyee, who really has an in-depth knowledge of MacBooks and Mac OS X.
    Update: After writing this I tried resetting SMC, again with no success.
    Thanks in advance.
    Yours faithfully

    I had already given my MacBook to dad, but in Slovakia they have horrible laws towards customers. The reseller has taken 2 weeks just to make a statement, which is ridiculous since I had sent the MacBook along with a detailed description of the problem and printed Apple article. It seems they have found the machine to be faulty and took another 30 days to fix it.
    I am more than happy to hear that Apple in this case promises to replace the logic board free of charge. It is a powerful machine and I don't want to replace it yet, but if I were about to pay for a new logic board I would consider buying a new laptop.
    Next time I would want to buy anything from Apple I would to one of official Apple stores in Austria, although it seem that not all the employees can diagnose certain issues the quality of service must be incomparable. These almost two months without MacBook, or Photoshop, have ruined my chances to participate in a countrywide student's projects competition, I must wait for the next year and that would be the last chance since I would be leaving high school.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro Randomly Restarts

    Hi everyone and thanks for taking a look at my issue.
    Let me give some back story first.
    My MacBook was experiencing kernel panics and random restarts. I found information about the nvideo graphics card having an issue on this model and I took my MacBook into the Apple store to run the diagnostic test to confirm a flawed graphics card. The genius ran the test twice and it passed both times.
    I explained the issues with the random restarts and the kernel panics and becasue I have AppleCare I left my MacBook Pro to have the logic board replaced last week. I picked up my MacBook Pro last Friday and I thought it was fixed until Sunday it restarted randomly and then restarted randomly 20 mintutes after that. Then about 1 hour ago it did it again.
    So here are things I tried before I took into Apple:
    1. I repaird disk permissions
    2. I reverted back to Snow Leopard
    3. I installed gfxCardStatus and selected the Intel graphics card to use all the time
    This is a very frustrating issue.
    Here is the most recent panic report:

    The other two panic reports listed firefox as a cause and mtmd on the other panic report
    Another thing I noticed is that the left side of my MacBook Pro gets hot, but the right side is fine. That seems very strange to me. I know computers generate heat but
    Maybe someone here can tell me what this means. If it's hardware related or software related.
    I'll take it back to Apple if I need to. Thank goodness for AppleCare.
    Thanks again for reading this and thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello there,
    I'm also having the same issue.  Macbook book pro from 2010 and never had an issue untill now.  Just fully re formatted my hard drive and tested a few things in disk utility and everything looks fine.   When it restarts I get this notice up restart.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro Random Restarts

    Hello everyone ,
    My mid 2010 MBP has been recently restarting randomly , this has happened after upgrading to Mountain Lion, however I don't know if it is a coincidence or not. I have done a clean re-install but the problem has been happening, I've also tried resetting the PRAM, but nothing has worked so far.
    This is the latest error log :

    I will be really thankful if you can help me with this, as this is my only computer and I'm studying for exams and working on my projects now , but these random restarts drive me nuts at times!

    I have done the Apple Hardware Tests -the extensive ones- and it did not find any hardware problems, to be on the safe side I reset the PRAM and reinstalled OS Lion this time and soon after the reinstall , I got kernel panics , So I'm really confused about what is causing these kernel panics ! Here's the latest report :

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" Random Restarts

    My Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" restarts randomly, this has been happening for quite a while now, but more so recently than ever before.
    I don't think I"m losing any data, but it's a bother when I'm trying ot study or do anything productive for that matter.
    There are times when it works like a charm for extended periods of time, but if it means anything, it seems to happen more when I move it, although it is not exclusive to that.
    I use a plug in keyboard and mouse, and I have my laptop on a stand, so I don't belive it's a hardware issue, although I might be mistaken.
    Here are the details of the Error Report:

    I hope someone can help me out! Thanks!

    I have an appointment set up to see if they will fix mine.  Hopefully it is a "recall" level repair as my MBP is out of warranty.
    I previously thought my issue was a SSD I put in the computer followed by a 500GB drive retrofit into the SuperDrive bay.
    After much troubleshooting I put the original drives (500GB and SuperDrive) back into the MBP, reinstalled OS X, and installed one app that I found caused a Kernel Panic (KP) without fail (Hallmark Card Studio [HMCS])*
    As soon as I ran the app I got a KP.  So while the computer still has an issue am glad that it is not the SSD (because I want to put that speed demon back in once the video card is fixed).
    Other curiosities was when the computer would KP: I played BOTH Portal games over the Winter Solstice holiday season and neither one KPd the Mac once.  But fiddling around in iPhoto, Pixelmator, and other graphics intensive apps would.  Strange.
    I will report back with what Apple does (the appointment is March 5th, 2013).

    *My father and bride both have Mountain Lion (like me) running on their Macs (iMac and Air respectively) and can run HMCS with no KP issues.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 13" sudden shutdown with no errors

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 13" 2.66 GHz with 2x4GB of Crucial RAM, the original 320GB HDD and running OS X 10.10.1; however, this problem has already been bugging me back when I had Mavericks. For about a year and a half now my laptop would suddenly shutdown with a click sound. It first only did it about once every couple of weeks but now it'll sometimes do it within five minutes of turning it on. Sometimes it'll last a couple hours, and other times it'll last 5 seconds. It's not temperature related, because it'll do it whether it has just been turned on or been on for over an hour. I reset the PRAM and SMC, but that didn't fix it. I ran tests with Disk Utility and it said there were some issues with the disk. Disk Utility wasn't able to do it, so I repaired it with fsck in Single User Mode. I thought this was finally going to work, but within 15 minutes it shut down again. Finally I ran the Apple Hardware Test and put it through the extensive test. After it was done running, it said that everything was ok. So according to that there should be nothing wrong with the internal hardware. I would check in the console logs, and it would give me -2 and -60 for "Previous shutdown cause: ". At this point I have no idea what could be causing the problems.

    I took it in to the Genius Bar over the weekend, and they ran their tests on it. It passed with flying colors; including the battery, which is doing quite well for its age. So with that being said, they said that the problem is probably with the logic board since everything else came back ok. At this point, I am better off investing in a new computer since a new logic board goes for $400 without labor, and that is if the problem really is only with the logic board since that was their best guess, not definitive.

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro - Sudden Issues everywhere

    Ok, so I've got a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro and just before Christmas all of a sudden issues just popped up everywhere. I'll give you a rundown of what all i've seen and what all I've done since.
    So I start getting a message something like
    - AppleSecurity - Unauthorized caller ...popping up intermittently. And then,
    - Firefox, once you shut the window down you couldn't get open again, and when you quit the app the computer seemed to freeze
    - ITunes wouldnt open
    - App Store wouldnt open
    - Safari would only open some webpages
    - Steam worked 10% of the time.
    - Powerpoint and Word would crash or not save etc.
    - I had to push the button to restart to get the thing working again and from time to time it would freeze or crash shutdown at the grey screen.
    - I kept getting small indications that the memory was full.
    - Cant shut down or restart without holding the button
    So I deleted stuff, generally cleaned up unneeded files etc. ... Same problems. I eventually got so exasperated that I just stuck everything I needed on a flash drive and wiped the user and started a new one.
    Same problems but slightly better.... So at this point I go into the Apple Store and go to the Genius bar - The guy wipes runs a check on my hard drive and everything ticks the boxes barring battery which is at 74% roughly. Then he wipes everything off to a factory restart, updates it, then hands it back.
    I get it back home and I have issues even setting up the user as if it was a new macbook. I have untick all the set time zone and network stuff to get it to work.
    I get it back going and ... still problems... but slightly better. But I cant update flash, steam crashes, sometimes again things dont work. Safari sometimes doesnt open some webpages and I have to restart to get things to get working again.
    Also, things seem to be a little better when I'm using the universities internet as opposed to the one in my flat.
    SO...! Back into the Apple Store, Genius Bar, he runs a full check on the drive because he seen some I/O errors in the console. AND.. everything passes. He runs a full daignostic and still can't figure it out. He says he seen some weird messages about Steam causing problems in the console but that was it, which I dont think could be the problem because I was getting problems before I even reinstalled it after the factory wipe/reset. The network causing problems maybe?
    What do I do people? No-one at the Apple Store can pinpoint whats going on?! I really want to get this fixed because I need this for uni and I can't afford a new one
    Please Help!

    poikkeus1,
    After getting a "properly" functioning LB, the temps are much lower than that, even when beating onit doing live recording. idle 25-30 degrees max, beating it with a "pile of inputs" recording 65-70
    The first machine i spent over 4 hours with a senior engineer doing an ARA, it was like someone took a shotgun and blasted the data all over the place.
    I switched machines (after 30 days, which would say they knew they had an issue)
    Second time temps off the map, and unexplainable "bizzare" behavior. (random)
    second time same deal, all over the place.
    Now everything seems happy, for months now. (I hope I just did not jinx myself)
    It sure seems that would be the place to look, hence you should ask for the flat rate repair.
    Best

  • I have a mid 2010 macbook pro 15" and recently it started crashing so I took it to my local Apple store to have it looked into and they told me its a graphics card issue requiring the replacement of the logic board at a cost to me of $340.

    I took my laptop to my local Apple store to have the problem diagnosed and they told me the problem lies in the grpahics card which will require the replacement of the entire logic board at a cost to me of $340.
    after that I did some research on the topic and found that this was a massive problem on this model of macbook pro and Apple never issued a recall to fix the issue, are there any class action suits in this category currently underway? if so how can I join?

    I also have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15". Also, I had paid $100 for Apple Developer account and I can't even use Xcode or Unity3D to work on my game because the moment I write a line of code, my computer crashes. Scratch that, I used to have an Apple Developer account (I let it expire a couple of weeks ago). It hasn't been of much use since my Macbook Pro crashes 15 times a day.\
    A month after buying a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15" directly from Apple, it began to crash. At first, I assumed it was my fault as I had been messing around with Bootcamp and doing other heavy stuff, but I quickly learned it would randomly decide to shutdown regardless of the task at hand. I was very busy at the time. I was a fledgling teacher in France, and I hardly had any time, or money, to put toward a 84 euro train ticket to Paris. Also, OS X updates were around the corner (Lion, Mountain Lion), so I held out, hoping the issue would be resolved with the updates.
    During my investigation of the issue, I did find the TS4088 article. It recommended I install some updates, and then it described a problem that seemed similar to my own, but the order in which the problems occured, as described in the TS4088 article, did not follow the same pattern that my computer had been experiencing–there was no gray or black screen after the restart warning message when my mac crashed. The first time I found TS4088 on Apple's Support page (at a time when their product recalls were easier to locate before they redesigned their website), it was a couple of months after I had bought the computer. I reasoned that my Macbook Pro must not be suffering from the same issues as I had never seen the video freeze or go black before seeing a restart message. The restart warning message is the last thing I saw, no loss of video or black(or gray) screen afterwards. My computer would simply start to boot up again.
    About two years after buying the computer, and suffering from about 3 GPU panics a day, I searched for the TS4088 article again, wondering if I had misread it, and that maybe the issues described in the article were the same issues I was experiencing. This time I could not find the TS4088 article on Apple's Website. I searched over and over again, but it was nowhere to be found. I assumed that issue had been resolved and the article removed. Now after three years of using a faulty, unreliable computer, I was feeling like a schmuck. I searched again on Apple's website to find the TS4088 article, or any new ones that outlined my very apparent GPU issues, but I had no luck. I circled Apple's website over and over and could not find that article. It was only through a link other frustrated mid-2010 Macbook Pro owners had posted on some other website that I found the link to TS4088, also learning that the forum's users were experiencing my same problems.
    Based on the language Apple used to describe the problem, I did not reason that I was suffering the same issue. Here's what happens when my computer crashes:
         • The computer seems to shut down. The display turns off, the fans stop spinning
         • The message "Your computer was restarted because of a problem . . . Press any key to restart" is displayed.
         • I press any key, the computer restarts, I wait for next crash to interrupt my work
    Excerpt from TS4088
    "Symptoms
    Apple has determined that a small number of MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) computers may intermittently freeze or stop displaying video on the built-in display or on an external display connected to the MacBook Pro. In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray."
    My computer never displays a restart message before the video is lost or display turns black. My Macbook Pro mid 2010 loses the picture on the display, and less than a second after that is the restart warning displayed. The video would never freeze or stop playing, rather the whole computer just dumped all of its processes and displayed a warning message asking me to press any key to restart.
    My issues with this problem are the following:
    •The problems described in TS4088 do not accurately reflect what users are experiencing. TS4088 is misleading in this respect.
    •The article TS4088 was not easy to find on Apple's website. It seemed to have moved to an obscure, impossible-to-find location that could only be found thanks to the great number of other Mac users who are experiencing the same problem.
    This issue hasn't been managed dutifully. I'm annoyed to have sunk money into a developer account. I'm annoyed that I sunk money into an expensive product that does not work. I'm annoyed that the description of the issue afflicting mid 2010 Macbook Pros was inaccurately and misleadingly described and that links to the TS4088 article disappeared from Apple's website when I could have truly benefitted from them. I am especially annoyed that my life in graphic design, web development, and iOS development has stagnated for several months as my computer crashes some 15 times a day. I am, however, pleased with the speed at which a Mac can boot up.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting due to Kernel Panic. Ideas for how to fix?

    So my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro keeps randomly restarting, and giving me a screen that says something like "your computer restarted due to a problem."
    Looks like it as a kernel panic, but I have no idea what this is.  Seems to be no pattern for when it crashes.  Used to do it maybe once a month and now this is the 5th time in two days.
    Any idea what might be going on? Looked at past threads but nothing seemed to apply. 
    Here's the issue report:

    So my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro keeps randomly restarting, and giving me a screen that says something like "your computer restarted due to a problem."
    Looks like it as a kernel panic, but I have no idea what this is.  Seems to be no pattern for when it crashes.  Used to do it maybe once a month and now this is the 5th time in two days.
    Any idea what might be going on? Looked at past threads but nothing seemed to apply. 
    Here's the issue report:

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15in i7 keeps crashing

    This problem has been going on for a long time now where my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15in w/ i7 processer keeps crashing at random times. No data is lost but it just keeps shutting down and restarting. I was thinking it may be the logic board or motherboard, not sure if they are the same thing. I get this message when I report the problem:

    What can I do about this? Is there a part I need to replace or should I just sell this and buy a new Mac?

    It's a well documented problem with that model. Your graphics circuit is failing. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard for 3 years from the date of purchase, though some folks have gotten help beyond that time frame.

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" Blacks Out Without Warning

    Quick Summary of Problem: My MacBook Pro is currently shutting down without warning. It would be more accurate to say that the screen goes blank but the machine remains on as can be heard by the fan. Nothing resolves it without powering down and restarting. It has occurred when attached to a power source or via the battery.
    My machine specs: Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15” with 500GB hard drive, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics/nVidia GeForce GT 330M with 512MB, anti-glare 15” screen with max resolution 1680 x 1050). Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with 2013-001 Security Patch installed.
    I have AppleCare which commenced when I first bought the machine in July 2010.
    System Profiler says my battery condition is ‘Normal’. Cycle count: 610.
    Detailed Summary of Problem: Back in January, my MacBook Pro shut down several times without warning. Each time, I was creating selections on high resolution imagery in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
    Not long after, I saw the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ relased on Feb 12 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1633) and installed it via Software Update. By coincidence or not, my MBP behaved much better afterwards and the seemingly random blank screens requiring a restart disappeared.
    But then I installed the ‘Security Update 2013-001 (Snow Leopard)’(http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1642) via Software Update and that’s the only thing I can really remember changing to my system. Since then, the black-outs have reappeared. As before, I was usually using Photoshop and working with high resolution imagery. However, one time the machine blacked-out, I was simply doing a two-finger scroll on the built-in trackpad whilst in Chrome (Version 25.0.1364.172).
    The blackout has occurred twice now not being connected to power, and twice with it being connected to a wall socket. Needless to say, I lost work in Photoshop (even though I’ve begun to save more regularly) and now it feels like it’s a ticking time bomb and I don’t know when it’s going to go off.
    One thing I’ve found rather odd is that in the crash log, the kernal version doesn’t seem right for Snow Leopard:
    Kernel version:
    Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun  7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386
    System model name: MacBookPro6,2 (Mac-F22586C8)
    The full crash log can be found at the bottom of this post.
    Fixes I’ve tried:
    1) Resetting the NV-RAM has done nothing. (was suggested
    2) I’ve tried reinstalling the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ by downloading the manual installer from Apple, however it now says ‘Alert: This software is not supported on your system’ which in a way makes sense given I’d already applied the firmware update, but a more accurate message along the lines of ‘This firmware update has already been installed’ would be more reassuring.
    3) If all else fails, I could resort to copying over a backup I created with Carbon Copy Cloner, which was done before I reinstalled the 2013-001 Security Update for Snow Leopard. But that’s a bit of a headache too, because my documents I’ve updated since the backup will be out of sync. Another reason this isn’t a great solution is that I can’t take advantage of the 2013-001 security update, nor future ones.
    Any suggestions? There’s probably no good time for something like this to happen, but this is a particularly bad time – I’m currently beginning design and finished art freelancing and brushing up on some applications I haven’t used in years. Nor am I going to make an impression meeting with recruiters without my folio being presented from my MBP.
    I’ve already booked a Genius appointment 2.5 days from now, but all help and ideas greatly appreciated!

    I am sorry. The page that came up has an AD for issues with a 13" MacBook Pro in the corner. I read the AD as if it were part of the article and assumed the whole page referred to the 13" model. My Mistake.
    However, the issue described by TS4088 is not a soldering problem. It is a Latent Defect -- a flaw built into certain batches of those chips from the day they were packaged and installed.
    If your Mac fails the VST test used to detect this Latent Defect, re-flowing the solder is likely to have NO EFFECT on its performance -- the solution is the remove the defective chip and replace with a good one.
    There certainly can be problems in these and other Macs where a re-flow would be beneficial. But I caution Readers not to generalize your solution to Macs that are known to fail VST. Re-flow alone will not solve the Latent Defect problem.

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro '13 Dead.

    So I've had an issue for the past week with my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch. For a little while, it has been losing the time, and shut down randomly a few times, but last sunday, it shut down, and wouldn't boot back up. When I press the power button, I get no signs of life, but a very, very quiet 'ticking' noise (only when held down). Not even the light on the front comes on.
    I tried disconnecting the battery, and booting with just the power cord. Again, nothing. I even let the laptop drain overnight, with the battery disconnected, still, nothing.
    When I plug in the power cord, the light goes orange, but as soon as I press the power button, it goes straight back to green for around 15-20 seconds.
    I've got no idea how to sort this, and it's a pretty big problem. I have considered a trip to the Apple Store, but it's waaayyyy out of warranty, so I'm not sure they'd particularly be able to do anything. Any ideas?
    Many Thanks, George.

    The best thing you can do is take it to an Apple storegenius bar for diagnosis by thetechs, that part of the visit is free.  That way you will have a definitive answer to the problem.  And then make some choices as to repair.
    Go to Apple Retail Store at the bottom of this page, Genius Bar in the upper right of the page that opens, Make a Reservation top center of the next page that opens.  Appointments help avoid standing around waiting too long.
