13" 2010 MBP battery issues

Yesterday I spilled some water on my MacBook Pro. It worked fine afterwards but I shut it off just in case. This morning it wouldn't start up. The battery LEDs said the battery was fully charged and my charger's light was green. I unplugged the power cord and took the bottom cover off (my warranty is up). Then I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in. My computer then automatically started up. However, the battery icon has an "x" over it and the computer shuts down as soon as I try to log on. Since I did that the charger no longer lights up and the battery LEDs also refuse to light.
WIll replacing the battery solve this problem, or is my MBP done for?

Take the MBP to an Apple store genius bat for a FREE evaluation. They should be able to diagnose it properly and then your question will be answered. Anything said here would only be speculative.
Ciao.

2010 MBP battery life (and hot power pack)

Hi All.
2010 MBP here and I am finally getting around to troubleshooting very short - like 2 hour - battery life. The battery pack gets /very/ hot as well. I do let it run down to nothing once in awhile.
Supposedly (acconrding to experts on the list) the fact that the MBP gets /very/ hot to the touch on the bottom is not an issue based on the specs I posted (I forget the name of the software I used to generate these specs).
Can anyone help me with whether I should bring this in or if there is anything I can do to troubleshoot this further? I basically can't take if from my office to the living room without bringing the charger which is sort of annoying.
Can anyone offer this new mac user any help while I reasearch this further...?
- Jon

best bet is apple store. they will help you fix the problems you are having with your mac. It may also help if you don't run intens applications which use a lot of CPU and RAM. also running a lot of apps at once drains battery and strains the computer. Macs tend to get hot because of the aluminum, but it keeps the internal components cool. Battery life, I cannot help you there. Let me know if that was helpful

Hi everyone! New MBP Battery issues!

i just bought a mbp 15" 8GB recently online from apple ( 4/13/2011) BTW- i just switched from being a pc user to mac and am in looove with macs now! My issue is that my mac has been plugged in all day. i unplugged it to watch a 2 1/2 hr net flix movie. I started with 98% battery but after watching the movie and replying to a few emails I ended up on reserve battery? Apple advertises the 2011 MBP to have 10 hrs of battery life. Did I get a lemon? Is anyone else having this kind of an issue? Oh am I'm not running a bunch of programs at once I double checked that.
Thanks in advance for any help !!

Hi Kristin,
I've attached a screen shot (taken directly from Apple's website) regarding the 15" MBP's battery life. A couple of differences from what your machine is capable of and what your expectations are:
1.) You'll notice that it's up to 7 hours of wireless web surfing.
2.) It's up to
3.) It's 7 hours, not 10 hours
Earlier generations of this machine did advertise more, I suspect Apple realized that only their test lab machines under less than typical conditions were routinely getting that. Streaming Netflix, especially over WiFi is going to give you significantly reduced battery life, definitely better than 120-150 minutes but you won't see near 7 hours either.
I'd be curious to have you recharge the machine and see how much run time you get on battery using the machine normally (not streaming Netflix).

2011 13" MBP Battery issue?

I went on camp over the weekend to find my MacBook Pro in its usual spot on top of my bed, exactly wher I left it. As I attempted to boot it, I realized it was futile as I ran my battery out just before I left. I stuck my 60W MagSafe in their and left it for a while whilst I hooked up my Xbox to foxtel. The light on my MagSafe adapter was green and I pushed the power button. That system resume loading bar appeared. The laptop was extremely slow and the battery icon had an x in the middle. I consulted google immediately, in which I found a way to reset the SMC. I tried it and it Only made my troubles worse, the fan runs at full blast when I turn it on. Adding that my battery indicator no longer works as well as the battery icon with an x in it, I'm puzzled as to what I should do. There is an apple store 45 mins away but I find it hard to get over there. Please help :/

Shut the system down completely by either Pressing the power button and then select Shut Down or if that does not work then hold the power button down until the unit turns off. Leave it off for 1/2-1 hour with the AC adapter connected.
Since you ran your battery completely empty it take time for it to recharge to a state that will allow the MBP to see that is OK again. mAll MBPs use both battery and AC power when the AC adapter is connected. Withotu some charge in the battery the unit thinks the battery is no good.
Good Luck.

2010 MBP Isight Issue

Hello -
So I randomly opened my facetime, and the black window never opened. I then checked photobooth, and the window opened but the screen showed it was "loading", and my image never came up. I initially thought it was a bug from an upgrade, but when I brought my MBP into the Apple store, they said it was hardware related. Also, the camera is being detected by the computer... At the store, they did multiple tests and obviously nothing helped. To fix it, apple said it would cost $280 since I am out of warranty. Has anyone ever encountered an issue like this? Is there any way around paying the $280? I think it is silly to spend 25% of the entire computers cost on a camera, but it bothers the heck out of me.
I am open to all suggestions. Thanks!

If you want to replace the HD yourself, there are many sites on google with video instructions. I take no responibiity for any of this. Even though Apple store is 4 hours away, there could be more wrong with the machine, there could also be a logicboard issue here. I am not an Apple tech, just a user like everyone else on this site.. I had my kids MBP go down recently, which I knew was a HD failure, I took it in and after the diagnosis, they needed to replace the HD, LCD backlighting, logicboard, and the keyboard. I thought it was just the HD. Glad I brought it in, otherwise I would have gone nuts trying to figure out why the thing would not have worked properly. This was all done for a flat rate of $330.00 about 1/3rd of buying a new machine. Which he now has a virtually new machine. Had it back in 3 days. Just some food for thought for you. Hope all works out well for you.

New MBP battery issues

I am new (sort of) to owning a Mac, I bought my macbook pro a couple days ago, so far I havent used it much for other than surfing the net. My question is regarding the Battery time remaining indicator, first of all it changes alot, so i never truly know how much time I have left. Is this normal? It can say anywhere from 3-6 hours left when I am at 90% battery. Usually at 90% battery it says I have about 4.5 - 5 hour left. I thought I was supposed to get up to ten hours of battery? The percent indicator seems to go down fairly fast like 1% every few minutes. Is this Normal? Should I take my macbook over to the apple store to be checked out?
Also I downloaded Coconut battery and have been monitoring the battery condition since I got the laptop tuesday. and the capicity has already dropped.

Your battery life is adjusting itself to determine how long your battery will last under the current conditions it's operating under. If you're running lots of Flash or working in Photoshop or Premiere, you're power will drain much faster. Once you quit these applications and go to simple web browsing, your battery meter recalculates.
That small a drop isn't anything alarming, yet. Try calibrating the battery.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/9036.html
This should be done once each 1-2 months.

My macbook pro 2010 extremely noisy and a warning flashed on the screen about a power or battery issue- can you help please?

My macbook pro 2010 has started getting extremely noisy in the last few months and I had a strange warning flash up on the screen a month or so ago about a power or battery issue… can you help please?

Calibrating a 2010 MBP is not required. All it will achieve is putting an unnecessary cycle on it and shortening its life:

You may try a SMC reset:

2010 MBP Core i7 Running very hot, short battery life..

So my 2010 MBP has been running hot for the last couple of months.. all the time.. every time I pick it up its hot.. Even under very light load (IE: only safari, and mail open..)
At about the same time, my battery life is very short.. using only the integrated gfx card (I have an app that shows me what is in use) I only get 2-2.5 hours of run time.. My estimated time never climbs up any more. Using cocoanut battery I am showing 96% capacity over all..
The sad part is I just let my applecare lapse, and this has been doing it since before it lapsed.
Any ideas? I checked the fans and vents, they are working and are clear..

As to temp.. it is uncomfortable to hold... much hotter then it used to be.. I don't have a good thermometer to get.. but the bottom is hot.. it would keep my coffee warm.. not hot mind you but certainly it is hot enough to keep my coffee from cooling.. doesn't burn my hand but would make my legs or whatever else very wam.. sweaty even..
To summerize it is running very hot

Battery Issues on MBP (Late 2008 - 13")

I'm fairly new to Macs, but ince day one, my Macbook Pro has been giving me problems. Its battery drains abnormally fast and its lower left corner becomes very hot.
In 30 minutes, around 20% of the battery zaps out for no apparent reason.
I read on this other website to check Activity Monitor for CPU-using programs and things, but it seems the only thing which takes up the most is the Activity Monitor itself.
On this other website, I was told to enter "ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity" (without quotes) into Terminal. I did, and I got this (without quotes again):
"ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity
Last login: Fri May 18 11:31:33 on console
Sarims-MacBook-Pro:~ sarimabbas$ ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity
    | |           "MaxCapacity" = 3047
    | |           "CurrentCapacity" = 232
    | |           "LegacyBatteryInfo" = {"Amperage"=18446744073709549981,"Flags"=4,"Capacity"=3047,"Current"=232,"Volta ge"=10923,"Cycle Count"=263}
    | |           "DesignCapacity" = 4100
Sarims-MacBook-Pro:~ sarimabbas$"
Is my current capacity value a cause for alarm? Does it show a problem with my battery? Is it a battery issue which is causing it to go away so fast?
I then ran coconutBattery, which is supposed to be some sort of tool to diagnose battery statistics and things. It, as opposed to Terminal, tells me that I have a 3047 mAh current capacity, with a 4100 mAh maximum capacity.
Whom am I supposed to believe? And even more pressing, what am I supposed to do about it? I really need to get some work done without having my laptop on the charger every hour or so.

2010 MBP 13" hard drive never spins down... ever.

Hi Folks,
I have searched - and even found others with a similar problem - but the threads died out without a solution, so....
I have a pretty new 2010 MBP 13" 2.4ghz with stock 250gb HDD (I think it's a Toshiba, IIRC). I noticed that the palm rests were vibrating constantly and there was noise that never went away, so I investigated. It is the hard drive under the right palm rest, which is constantly spinning. My hands feel like I just came in from mowing the lawn!
Now, I just came from ownership of a 2008 MB which also had the Core2Duo processor and which I used about the same. No new programs or new usage to speak of. Yet that hard drive was not spinning all the time; in fact, it was usually spun down and only spun up from time to time.
I do have the preference checked for "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" on both battery and AC. I downloaded iStat and I can't see any reason for it not to spin down. i.e. light use (or even with all programs closed), cool CPU, CPU 90% un-used, very few page outs (not sure which of this would affect HD though).
Still, it NEVER spins down.
It's not clicking or making any of the "I'm a hard drive about to die" type noises. It's just a constant spinning hum.
Can anyone help me with this? It's making me dislike what should be a nice upgrade from my MB and iBook. Of course I am still under warranty, but I'm 4 hours from the Apple store, and plus I just like to try to figure things out on my own if possible. Gaining understanding of how things work is a plus too
Thank you in advance for any help

I don't know if anyone will click on this since I already marked it solved, but I will try it and then if not I'll start a new thread. Just don't want to clutter up the forum if I don't need to.
So anyway, it was stated earlier in this thread that it is not possible for the internal hard drive to spin down while the computer is turned on, and that the system pref for "put hard disk to sleep (i.e. spin down) when possible" check box could only really apply to external drives.
I'm no expert, so although I sure thought the drives in my previous Apple laptops were spun down most of the time (I'm a light user), I figured that okay, they must have just seemed like they were spinning down, and my new one must just be really noisy (even though the "noise" sounds just like my older drives did when they "spun up," but I guess they were just doing something else).
But okay, so this morning I was reading Anandtech's really great and thorough review of the new MBP's and in the maximum battery life test they did this:
+Light Web Browsing+
+Here we're simply listing to MP3s in iTunes on repeat while browsing through a series of webpages with no flash on them. Each page forwards on to the next in the series after 20 seconds.+
+The display is kept at 50% brightness, all screen savers are disabled, but *the hard drive is allowed to go to sleep if there's no disk activity*. The wireless connection is enabled and connected to a local access point less than 20 feet away. *This test represents the longest battery life you can achieve on the platform while doing minimal work. The results here are comparable to what you'd see typing a document in TextEdit or reading documents.*+
Doesn't this seem to indicate that my original understanding was correct, and that internal hard drives do have the ability to spin down under light use? It sounds like it to me. My typical usage is exactly what they are talking about above, and apparently their hard drive spins down during such use, unless I'm completely mis-understanding them. Mine also seemed to in my previous Apple laptops.
So now I'm feeling frustrated, as I hate having an issue that I can't get to the bottom of. Whether or how I can fix it or not is secondary, but I want to understand how it is supposed to work!
Thank you very much to anyone who reads through, and even more if you reply

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.
Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
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.

15-inch Mid-2010 memory upgrade issues

Hi,
I have a 15-inch mid-2010 MBP running Mountain Lion, that I upgraded from 4 to 8 Gb of memory in Sept. 2012. The memory i purchased was a 2x4 gb set of Corsair Value rated at 1333 MHz. The upgrade went smooth, and i did not have any problems for a few months.
Then late in december or early in january, I had a few Kernel Panics. I didn't think too much of it, as I was busy with exams, and thought it might be a software issue or something, maybe related to VMware Fusion. The KP's started getting a bit more frequent, and suddenly one day the machine wouldn't boot at all, it just KP's at the Apple logo and then goes in a loop. I now suspected a memory problem, as my experience tells me that this is a usual cause of KP's.
I started fiddling with the memory sticks, and determined that one of the blocks would boot, so i went to the place i bought the set and talked to them. They agreed that the one block was probably faulty, and replaced my memory with a 2x4 Gb set of Corsair Mac Memory. This is 1066 MHz CL7, and should be compatible with MB,MBP and iMac, according to the packaging. The problem is that the machine will not boot with this memory either. It just goes for the same loop and KP's at the Apple logo. I can't even get this to boot with one stick in the machine, so it's arguably worse.
The machine works well with the original memory, It's been a rock solid main machine with 4Gb of ram for about a month now.
I tried PRAM and SMC reset to no avail. I tried booting into boot camp with the new memory, but it just never seems to load Windows. This also works with the old memory.
I'm a bit lost as to what i should try next. I suspect it's a problem with the Logic Board, i just don't see how, seeing as it used to work with 8 Gb, and that it still works with 4 Gb.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

So, i've played around with things a bit more. 4 gigs of ram is still rock solid. I've had the memory in a friends computer, an HP PC, where it works just fine.
Also, the computer starts up fine in fail safe mode if i hold down shift during boot, but that's no way to live.
I should probably have mentioned in my first post that I have replaced my optical drive with a 64 gb SSD that i boot OS X from. Since Windows does not start up either, and i've had that part of the setup for about two years, I wouldn't think that is the problem.
The computer has been running 15 passes of Rember this night, and was still running when i got up, so it's clearly not entirely broken.
Any suggestions?

Upgrade my 2010 MBP or Purchase a new Mac?

Hey All,
I need some advice and would really value your opinions. I have a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro and it's been great to me for 5 years, however, it is so slow compared to my work computer which is a 2013 MacBook Air. Since I don't personally own my work's MacBook Air, I am afraid to personalize it - install my apps, media, etc. I love how fast my MacBook Air is and knowing how fast a computer can be makes using my MacBook Pro very frustrating. I don't use my MacBook Pro for anything substantial: no gaming, no photoshop, etc., but would love it if it was faster overall (transferring data, downloading). All I use it for is primarily web browsing, word/excel documents, and iTunes (have all my media stored on an external hard drive but my iTunes reads it wirelessly from my Apple Airport Extreme - where my external hard drive is plugged into).
My question for you all is this: is upgrading to an SSD worth it? Can I make my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro comparable in overall speed to my work's 2013 MacBook Air? If not, will it at least make is noticeably quicker? I already upgraded my RAM to 8GB without seeing much improvement. I've heard that SSD's can make a huge difference (especially if you get the right one). If true...which SSD do you recommend for my Machine specifically?
I recently upgraded from OS X 10.7.5 (Lion) to Yosemite and noticed a lot of glitches...is that normal? All these issues seem to point me in the direction of spending the $1500+ on a new computer but my current 2010 MacBook Pro runs decent for its age and I would appreciate not having to spend the extra dinero...idk what to do but am interested in hearing what you would do. Below are my computer's specs:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
Processor: 2.4 GHz intel Core i5
Memory: 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256MB
Thoughts? Thanks in advance,
Joe

Try installing the 10.10.2 update if you didn't already. Seems to solve a lot of slowness and issues.
I have a 2010 MBP 13" with Core 2 Duo @ 2.4 GHz (slower than yours) and it runs awesomely, doing the same stuff you do with yours...
If you want an SSD, consider OWC's Data Doubler kit. Lets you turn your CD drive into a hard drive bay, so you can have an SSD and the hard disk - and make your own Fusion Drive (which can really improve performance). Be warned that there are issues with this in Yosemite, and you need a Mavericks boot drive or recovery partition (or OS X 10.10.0 or beta) to run the commands. The whole Fusion Drive process is pretty advanced, so take that into consideration.

Can anyone help with my 2010 mbp running slow i.e. games are very laggy and slow to open apps

i have a 2010 mbp and i cant run games that i was able to run flawlessly a couple months ago im not sure if iv done somethin to cause this issue i really only use my comp to watch movies and videos nothin that i would think would slow it the way it has if someone could give me some advise as to how to get it running 100% again it would be much appreciated

Use this as a trouble shooting guide:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
Check the status of your HDD. Open DisK Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair. Also is the HDD full? Often that is a problem.
Try a Safe Boot:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Often third party applications have a negative affect on performance. Performance or cleaning apps as well as anti-virus apps are often the culprit and should be deleted.
Ciao.
You might also open Activity Monitor and examine if additional RAM might be useful.
Note that Macs are not good gaming machines.

White apple remote and 2010 MBP

The white apple remote which came with my 2007 24" iMac randomly stops working on my 2010 15" 2.4 MBP during my slide show which is very annoying, I have to switch out of keynote presentation to system preference panal and click on the pair botton under Security settings to get it back to work again. (I teach so it's very distracting for both my students and me), it happened once yesterday during class I thought it was the battery so I went out and got a new one during class break. Guess what, it happened twice today too. I checked with Photo Booth by clicking the remote directly into the iSight camera to make sure that it has no problem emitting infrared beam.
What's weird is it had no problem working on my wife's 13" 2010 MBP what so ever (I used to take her computer to class before I got my 15" last week).
Anyone can offer me any help or has ever gotten in to situations like this? I'd hate to go back to the apple store for a exchange since the new 15" runs pretty well and the both apple stores in Beijing are always packed.
Thanks in advance!
oh and also, ever since 10.6.5 update I have to restart my computer before every class to get it to recognize a projector, any one knows how to fix this too?

This might not be the best forum for solving your problem, you might do better on <http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1296&start=0>, for interfaces.
