How's your Mid 2010 MacBook Pro doing after changing logic board due to BSoD?

After this very long discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15665312#15665312
In which a lot of people had BSoD problems after upgrading to Lion, and then have solved the issue by having the logic board replaced, I'd like to ask, specially for those who have done it earlier, a few months ago or so: did you have any problem with your 2010 MacBook Pro 15" since then?
I'd like to know it because, by reading that thread, I have reasons to believe that the problem may arise again after some time.
I had the same issue with my MBP, but I'm still on Snow Leopard. I had the logic board replaced more than once (actually 3 times), and everything is ok since then.
Now I've been pushed to upgrade to Lion so that I can continue using iCloud. So i'd like to know what are my chances of going into that nightmare again.
Any info will be appreciated.

Greetings,
I've never heard of this issue - I have two MBP Mid 2010, and both are running Lion with all updates, and there are no issues of any kind. One of the graphic shops I work with has 15 Mid 2010 MBP, all running Lion, and there are no isues with them.
We use a lot of high end software, but no games, of course, just business and graphics apps. There have been no issues with Mail, Calendars, Addressbooks, etc, except for wanting a few more features, here and there,
which we will get in time.
Bad apps are the usual culprit, when there are problems with Macs, and they are not always easy to locate, so I just reload from scratch, and thet will usualy fix a lot of ills, if the normal troubleshooting tools don't resolve the problem. Fortunately we have had very very few issues with our Macs going back to the late 90s, and earlier - they just work, and work.
Try a reload if you have troubles.
Cheers,
M.

  • How to revert mid 2010 macbook pro to snow leopard

    I have a mid 2010 15" macbook pro which I want to sell.  It is currently running Mavericks.  It has a self-installed 1T disk upgrade.
    I believe it came with Leopard but I can't seem to find those os/x disks.  I do have the Snow Leopard disks which I purchased for an upgrade.  I want to install Snow Leopard on this macbook pro after running disk utility to unpartitiion the drive and format for a new install.  I know I've done this before but believe it was on older equipment which did not have an os/x which used a recovery partition.
    When I boot from the cd and hold down the C key I get a shaded bar of progress and eventually the boot process stops with a gray screen containing an apple logo.  It gets no further.  What am I doing wrong or is there something in Mavericks which is preventing me from booting from the snow leopard disk? (Alternatively I have another macbook pro so maybe I can do what I want using target disk mode however I've not done this before.)
    Thanks in advance for any help. 
    John

    I pretty much feel like an idiot but in case someone else is as stupid as me.....
    To get back to it's original state and remove Mavericks so I can sell it.......
    I tried updating to 10.6 using update disks I had purchased not realizing these were for an older iMac I no longer had.  It turned out that the 2010 macbook pro came with a newer version 10.6.8  already installed thus the disks which shipped with the mbp were newer.  In it's infinite wisdom os/x would not downgrade itself!
    Once I got the right disks (they were right in the box where I left them) I was able to boot from the cd, run disk utililty, unpartition the drive, format the drive, and install sl.  Problem solved.
    Banging head on desk.  I'm now headed out to the woodshed to give myself a thrashing.
    ymmv. 

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro does not see other devices in airdrop

    Hi,
         I am able to turn on airdrop. There are no restrictions preventing me seeing other devices or them seeing me. I am unable to connect with my iPhone 5 or IPad air 2 in airdrop. Any suggestions to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    There are none. A pre-2012 Mac will not see iOS devices in AirDrop.

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro, How can I install Windows 7 without an Optical Drive?

    For clarity:  I have a mid 2010, Macbook Pro.  I recently decided to upgrade to a Crucial SSD drive, double the ram (8 gigs), and remove the optical drive in favor of using my old drive as a back up.  I am also currently running Yosemite.
    I want to install Windows 7 onto my SSD, using bootcamp.  Unfortunately I no longer have an optical drive installed, which makes things difficult as Bootcamp does not even give me the option to create a bootable USB.
    Now, this is where things get kinda fuzzy:
    MId 2010 macbooks use EFI, and are quite capable of booting from USB.  How do I know?  Because I booted from a USB drive in order to do a fresh install of Yosemite on my SSD.
    I have read mutliple forums and threads with claims that folks have had no problems doing this on 2008 Macbook Pros running Snow Leopard.  However, what seemed to be required was some clever .plist modding.  I have used both text wrangler, and x-code to do this, unfortunately upon booting of bootcamp, bootcamp instantly crashes.  Naturally, I can restore bootcamp because I made backups of the .plist file.
    It would seem that modffying the .plist file assumes that the option to create a bootable USB device is grayed out.  In my case, it is non existent.
    I have also read that folks have had success using rEFIt, however rEFIt has been forked to rEFIned, and the developer of rEFIned made mention on his site that Yosemite handles booting differently than previous versions of OSX.
    WIth that, I was hoping that some kind person could explain to me whats going on, what I am missing, and what I can do to make this happen just shy of tearing down my MBP and reisntalling the Optical Drive and dusting off my Win 7 disc.
    Also, my Model Number/Bootrom is MBP 6,2.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for your reply, and the information.  This is what I came up with:
    I added the strings as instructed, however when I went to sign the script in terminal, I was told:
    /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: replacing existing signature
    /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: code object is not signed at all
    In subcomponent: /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/info.plist
    Also, here are screen captures of the lines that I added.  Mine are the top string entries:
    Thank you for your help, thus far!

  • How to get bootcamp to install from USB on Mid 2010 Macbook Pro in Mavericks

    Ok, finally ran into my first problem with Mavericks. It's a doozy. Please if anyone has any advice, let me know.
    My bootcamp partition was acting a little buggy. I also wanted to make the partition larger, so I went ahead and erased it, made a larger partition and was getting ready to install windows 7.
    Unfortunately, little to my knowledge, bootcamp assistant is programmed to not allow installation of Windows via USB if your computer had an optical drive in it's factory delivered form.
    I have removed my optical drive in favor of a second hard drive and encased my original superdrive into an External USB hub.
    There apparently used to be a solution involving editing the plist.info text document to allow USB installation. However, as of MAVERICKS, this document is now locked and unable to be edited.
    I was running windows 7 fine until I scrapped it, and now I have no way to re-install windows short of going through a laborious process of re-installing my optical drive into my laptop, installing, and then re-installing my hard drive back in. The only reason is due to a software bias for my series of laptop because it "used to have" an optical drive.
    Does anyone know of any way that I can bypass this issue to get Windows Re-installed to a bootcamp partition on a mid-2010 macbook pro without using the optical drive?
    Thanks in advance!

    Remove the Boot Camp partition only with Boot Camp Assistant, not with Disk Utility.
    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

    How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro? Or am I SOL?
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro6,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:    2.8 GHz
      Number of Processors:    1

      Boot ROM Version:    MBP61.0057.B0F
      SMC Version (system):    1.57f18

    You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV

  • Why does my mid-2010 macbook pro keep restarting? Kernel panic?

    Please help,
    I work solely on my mid-2010 macbook pro. Lately it has been restarting itself more frequently. I should take it in, but it's hard to be without it for any extended period of time. I was hoping someone could take a look at my crash report and make sense of it?

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you 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 bring it with you.
    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.

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard?  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

  • How do I fix lag on Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13"?

    I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13'' and lags often. I empty my rubbish bin every time its full, I close programs that are not in use at the moment and even refresh once in a while. For example, I only use Google Chrome and its still lagging even though I dont have any prgrams running. I also checked my stroage to see how much free space I have which is 450.75 GB free. What do I do?

    Hi mighty-hawk23,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What version of the Operating System are you running?
    Here are some troubleshooting steps for Mavericks:
    OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
    Other troubleshooting steps include Resetting the SMC and PRAM:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph14222
    And using Disk Utility to verify and/or repair the disc:
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Disk Utility
    Start from the Recovery System or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion or Mountain Lion).
    If your computer shipped with a Mac OS X Install disc, insert the installation disc, and restart the computer while holding the C key.
    If using a Recovery partition or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion and later): When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window.
    If using an installation disc: Choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    Important: If you started from an installation disc, do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must start from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    Select your OS X volume.
    Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Hope this information helps ...
    - Judy

  • 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:

  • How to connect my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro to my HDTV?

    I have a mid 2010 macbook pro with a mini display port. I want to display it on my hdtv. I tried a mini display port to hdmi adapter first but that wouldn't work so then I tried a mini display port to dvi adapter connected to a dvi to hdmi adapter but still no success. Any ideas?

    I have your same model and I'm using a mini display port to hdmi when I want to connect right to a TV.  Is it not detecting, or is it a blank screen etc? What TV are you trying to connect to?

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro "Your Computer was restarted because of a problem"

    Hi guys,
    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro has been randomly restarting itself and showing a grey sceen with the text "Your computer was restarted because of a problem."
    I've googled and read all sorts of things saying remove everything from Login Items, it still happens. Everything I've tried has done nothing. Just in case it helps, here is my latest kernel panic log from Console:

    It looks as if you may have the dreaded 'bad GPU' that shipped with some versions of the 2010 model. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
    Use the "Contact" Apple techs link and see if your model may be one affected. If it is, you'll qualify for a free logic board replacement from Apple.
    Good luck,

  • Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight.  I think this is an LED screen.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Hi all...  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but the display is very very dark.  A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light.  I think this model has an LED screen.  Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is?  Thank you sooooo much!

    Spill Cleaning
    Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
    Do
    Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
    Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
    Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
    Note what was spilled on your Mac.
    Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
    Don't
    Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
    Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
    Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

  • Does my mid 2010 macbook pro's displayport support audio (in addition to the video I know it supports)?

    I have been using my displayport to drive a video only HDMI input by way of a displayport to DVI converter followed by a DVI to HDMI converter. It works great but of course there's no audio at the end of that chain because DVI is a video only connector.
    That made me wonder... is my displayport outputting both audio and video which could be converted directly to HDMI (giving me both audio and video at the HDMI end)? How can I tell if my mid-2010 macbook pro's displayport connector is outputting both audio and video? My internet search is inconclusive about whether both are available on that connector for my mid 2010 model macbook pro.
    Thank you.

    Hi, these MacBooks of 2010 support Audio through display port:
    MacBook Mid 2010 (GeForce 320M)
    MacBook Air 11 inch 2010 or 13 inch 2010 (Core 2 Duo)
    MacBook Pro 13 inch 2010 (GeForce 320M)
    MacBook Pro 15 inch 2010 or 17 inch 2010 (GeForce 330M),
    No 2009 Macs support audio through DisplayPort
    All 2011 and latter Macs support displayPort audio
    so it looks like you can get audio if yo have the Macbook with Geforce 320M
