Integrated GPU (or driver) fails on built-in screen only: Mid 2009 MBP 15

Hello All,
Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks in advance for your valuable time helping with this strange issue.
Note:
This MBP uses dual GPU's, but does not feature automatic graphics switching; graphics switching is either accomplished by logging out or launching GFXCardStatus. GFXCardStatus was not installed prior to this problem presenting.
Symptoms:
I first noticed this problem recently while on battery power, disconnected from all external devices, when I tried to switch to the integrated GPU from the discreet Nvidia GeForce 9600M. At this point, I was on Yosemite 10.1 installed fresh from the app store two months previously (reformat done to use the SSD's hardware encryption). When I logged out, the display went black immediately, but the backlight was still on. I restarted, reset NVRAM and the SMC, and held option key on startup to attempt simply to get the grey screen, but still had no action on the display except for the backlight. At that point I hooked the laptop up to my Cinema Display and voilá, I could see the usual login screen. I immediately switched back to the discreet GPU, and both the built-in and external displays worked properly. The problem is perfectly duplicable; on the integrated GPU, only the external display is responsive. With discreet GPU, the built-in display works fine every time. It had been a long time since I remembered using the integrated GPU.
Console revealed that XPC was unable to find display 0x00001 (invalid address). A number of other posts have described XPC issues with other MBP's using dual graphics and Yosemite, but all of the other threads described being unable to connect to external displays; this is the first case, to my knowledge, of the XPC problem interfering with the built-in display.
Also, the MBP built-in display works fine when booted into safe mode. It appears that the MBP is using the integrated GPU when in safe mode. I reviewed all of my extensions and startup items, and it appeared only that the Realtek wireless drivers were loading a third-party (non-Apple-supplied) kext. Removing the Realtek extensions made no difference.
I changed Colorsync color profiles for the built-in display using while running on integrated GPU to no effect. My next step will be to reinstall from scratch and see if the problem is fixed, but given the implied low level of the problem (it appears to be related to the drivers or SMC) I think that fix isn't guaranteed. With driver files not being available by themselves though, a reinstall may be my only option. Oh yes: Apple Diagnostics lists no problems. Permissions repair and Disk Repair have been ineffective. Also, the OS still lets me drag things over to the built-in display when both the built-in and external displays are active; in Displays preference panes, things look normal except for the fact that the built-in display is all black.
Updating to Yosemite 10.2 made no difference.
Thanks again for reading!
Gar

It is most definitely recurring as I cannot reach the OS by any means. Tried resetting the PRAM also, starting via recovery disk also leads to an automatic restart. In all cases the Apple logo can bee seen with the progress indicator running. At one point it stops, and restarts itself. The machine can only be used in target disk mode.

CHKDSK fails on fresh install of Windows 7 x64 on mid-2009 MBP with SSD

There was an earlier post about this that has been archived prematurely that I will reproduce below. The main issue is a flaw in the Windows 7 x64 CHKDSK of the SSD drive in the mid-2009 MBP= 5,2. With fresh OSX installs, bootcamp 3.1, Windows 7 x64 all updates, the CHKDSK operation checks files at about 1 per second in stage 4 of 5, verifying file data.
Moderators: please leave this open until it is actually resolved.

Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update
Posted: Nov 2, 2009 6:45 AM
Hello, I have been having filesystem problems on my Windows 7 partition since the HDD related firmware update (the latest Performance update) was released and installed onto this mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
The HDD is a 500 GB 7200 RPM model, but it never gave me any troubles under OS X before the "fix" and I know other users had intermittent problems with the HDD on their MacBook Pro's related to the HDD making noises and pausing.
The fix was released, I installed it and I started seeing my first problem in Windows 7 x64 a few days after... I cleanly shut the OS down, but when I booted it back it asked me to perform a coherency check to the Filesystem... I thought that the problem was related to the fact that I was using the RC1 build of Windows 7... although that problem never manifested itself in the weeks before the Performance Update (HDD firmware fix) was installed and Windows 7 x64 RC1 had been on there and used frequently.
I recently purchased Windows 7 retail a few days ago and after a bit of trouble-free operation I started having problems again... always shutting the PC down carefully and I was asked to run the CHKDSK utility at boot twice already.
What to do?

Hi there,
I have a different experience. I installed Windows 7 before the "performance update 1.0" came out. I actually experienced the chkdsk launch problem with Windows 7. I had done repartitioning and clean-install several times but cannot solve the problem. So I tried to install XP and Vista on my MBA (Mid 2009 with SSD) and found that these two OS doesn't introduce such problem.
To be honest, I'm not sure which caused such problem, Windows 7, a bootcamp driver, or EFI. But I'm sure that CHKDSK in Windows 7 has an obvious bug that needs to be patched (memory leak and maybe this problem as well). So now I'm using Windows Vista SP2. And I'm happy with Vista SP2 (seems to become faster and stable now).
Cheer,

Possible to create system software disc on USB flash drive to start Apple Hardware Test on mid 2009 iMac running OS X 10.9

Is it possible to create a system software disc on a USB flash drive to start Apple Hardware Test on mid 2009 iMac running OS X 10.9?

Hopefully, those dvd's are the correct ones. If not, it's possible to download the AHT for many models from Apple, & either make a bootable drive, or replace the files in the hidden /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics folder.
see Download and run Apple Hardware Test (AHT) from a USB drive.
There are additional download details in the comments for some later models.

I need to get a new hard drive for my 13" mid-2009 MBP but the model number is worn off. Is there a place to find this?

My hard drive needs to be replaced and I am looking to do it myself. However, I am in need of the model number of my MacBook Pro. The issue with this is, it has been worn off. My MacBook Pro is a 13" Mid-2009 model.
Thanks!

Any 2.5"dia, 9.5mm thick SATA HDD will be compatible. Look at options here:

Hard drive failing showing the blue screen

Dear Toshiba technical support,
I have a Toshiba notebook Satellite L305-S5875 for few months, and it's still in warranty. It shutted down suddenly showing the blue screen saying "physical memory dump...". I tried to restart me computer, but it does the same thing. I tried to reinstall the vista operational system, but it processed half way, then returned to blue screen again. It seems to me that the hard drive is completely failed. Could you please show me how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much
Best,
Truc Do

The blue screen error happens when RAM details are dumped into a file. This may be caused by a hardware in the computer. It is possible that the newly installed hardware is not compatible to run in your system. Memory stick problem can also be one of the causes of this error. Sometimes starting your Windows in safe mode will do the trick. To do this, press F8 while your computer is starting up. Then choose safe mode option among the list.

My USB drive is showing up as read only on my mbp.

I've been using my USB drive up until last night only on my own computer. It's been working as it should. For whatever reason this afternoon, when I plugged it into my computer, it's showing up as a read only drive. Also, when I checked the info to see if I could switch it, it doesn't give me the option that it should. And, for whatever reason the drive said it was both created and modified on Dec 31 1979. When I looked it up on the forums, it said something about a switch, there's no such switch on my USB drive. Also it said reformat it on disk utility. The only button that is not greyed out is the verify disk button, which tells me that I need to click repair disk, which I couldn't. I tried to then erase it, the whole deal is greyed out. Then I asked my mom to try to reformat it or allow permissions on her PC, she tried both. It won't allow her. I don't want to lose this USB drive. It's a 16 GB and I like to use it for when I'm working on my bigger projects. Any ideas?

FCP X recognizes any file structure that looks like the file structure on an SD card as a camera. That's why we can take the SD cards out of our AVCHD flash-based camcorders and plug them into the card reader slots on the Mac and import files as if from the camera. When we connect to the camera using a USB cable, it simply looks like a USB drive to the computer. FCP X knows what the folder/directory structure for various AVCHD (and other) cameras looks like and will allow Import from Camera when it recognizes it. One possibility is that, somewhere, on your computer that file structure exists and is tricking FCP X into thinking there's a "camera" there ... virtual "camera" but still it looks like a camera to FCP X. Of course another possibility is that you still have the SD card from a camera in your card reader on the computer These were the possibilities that came to mind. Best wishes.

Mid 2009 MacBook Pro 13 Hard Drive Upgrade Questions

I bought an upgraded hard drive for my mid-2009 MBP 13. I've done some reading and it appears that my model of MBP shouldn't have drive issues, but I still have a few questions that I'm hoping someone will answer. Perhaps this will all boil down to a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. That is, I may be worried without good reason. If so, I apologize ahead of time.
MacBook Pro 5,5
2.26 GHz
4GB RAM
10.6.3
Firmware version is: EFI64
The stock drive is a TOSHIBA MK1655GSXF (160 GB):
The new hard drive is the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB 5400 RPM drive.
I noticed that the temperature seemed to spike after installing the new drive. I didn't get the temperature of the hard drive before I took it out, but the CPU was consistently around 170 degrees Fahrenheit and the fan was in the 2,800-2,900 RPM range.
After putting the stock drive back in the MBP, the temps are consistently 142-145 degrees F for the CPU and 95-97 degrees F for the hard drive. The fan is right around 2,000 RPM.
I've read a bit about outrageous load cycles and just wanted to check the numbers.
The WD Scorpio Blue around 4,055 after 27 power on hours.
The stock drive was at last count, at 206701 after 2215 power on hours.
The machine is doing comparable things, downloading podcasts, Time Machine backups, browsing, etc.
The general questions, I have are:
Is the temperature supposed to spike like that when handling a larger drive?
If so, what is a reasonable range? I know I don't have the temperature of the new drive, but if I knew what to expect, I guess I would be more confident putting the new drive back in and not returning it.
What's a normal/healthy/reasonable (don't really know the term I'm grasping for) load cycle to see? I divided the load cycles by the number of power on hours and get around 150 for the WD and 93 for the Toshiba. Are either of those outrageously good or bad? I haven't been able to tell in my reading.
The bottom-line questions are:
Am I just overreacting based on what I've read? Or, is something not kosher and should I return the new drive and get something else? Should I try hdapm or something? If I should return the drive, any recommendations?
I've talked your collective ear off, I'm sure.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Cheers,
Rob

For what it's worth I've put aftermarket 7200 rpm hard drives in 2006 and 2008 15" MBP's and also a WD Scorpio Black 320GB in a 2009 13" MBP 2.53GHz and have had no changes in cpu temp or fan speed. Your fan speeds and cpu temp with the new drive sound too high. Something else is going on here. The temp is not supposed to spike when handling a larger drive. Maybe it's something like
Spotlight indexing the new drive? Have a look at your Activity Monitor for an active process drawing resources with the new drive.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) - Maximum internal hard drive size and speed?

What is the maximum size of hard drive and speed for an internal hard drive to my Macbook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2009), please?
I bought myself a Technics 1TB, 7200 rpm internal hardrive. Made a clone successfully in Super Duper.
It fits, but It is not available for starting up my Macbook Pro. Not available in System Prefs, but visible and grey in Disc Utility.
Although it starts up my Mac Pro just fine.. but not my Macbook Pro.
Is there a limit of hard drive specifics?

Thanks for the reply
I cloned the Technics HDD ( 2,5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 - 1 TB : HTS721010A9E630) from the MBP.
I tried to boot it up with my Technincs ( 2,5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 - 1 TB : HTS721010A9E630) installed in my MBP (as my internal hard drive).

I have a MacBook Pro, 15-inch, Mid 2009. I would love to upgrade to a Solid State Drive. What is the best possible upgrade I can buy. I need the specs and even brand name. Thank you to anyone who can help.

A 15" mid-2009 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
As has been pointed out, OWC is an excellent source for Mac compatible RAM. Crucial is another first rate source for Mac RAM. RAM from either vendor will work just as well as any purchased from Apple with the bonus of being less expensive and having a lifetime guarantee.

Will this hard drive work in my 2009 MBP 13 inch?

Hello, I've decided to upgrade the hard drive in my Mid 2009 MBP 13 inch to roughly a 500gb from 250gb. My friend has a 2011 MBP 13" and he just upgraded it to 1TB and has his 500gb 5400rpm SATA 2 and said I can have it. Will that hard drive work in my 2009 MBP without any headaches? I just want to be sure before I put it in...Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!

I think 750GB is the Max you can install in your 09 MB. ( not a 100% sure )
I've seen some people trying to install 1TB on their 09 MB and had issues.
Give it a shot, if it doesn't work, you can always exchange it for the smaller 750GB.
Good luck..

Integrated GPU Just Failed

Hey everyone,
My integrated GPU just failed. Using GFX card status I have my AMD permanently selected and the macbook pro is running fine.
I'm running a 15-inch, Late 2011 MBP.
Is there any negatives of using the AMD as the sole GPU without dynamic switching (I think that's what it's called) ?
What other options do I have for a fix?
MBP is out of warranty
Any ideas?
thanks!

Can a MBPr drive external screen from integrated GPU?

Hi
I am looking to conserve battery life with my new MacBook Pro Retina and want to set it to integrated GPU only when on battery, however, I cannot seem to make it see an external display when on this setting.
Any ideas of a way to make this work or is it not possible at all?
Robin

Hi
I have no issue with it switching to discrete GPU when connected via Thuderbolt, as I will typically have my machine plugged in when I do this.
However I visit custoemrs and do presentations and I woudl have expected the integrated GPU to be easily able to output to an external monitor for this simple process but nope, nothing at all.
I am guessing, although I have not tried it, that I could make the external screen my only screen but this is not an ideal option either!!!!!

T61 DVD/CD-RW drive fails to read and crashes

Hello Everyone, I hope people still visit this area of the forums!
I've highlighted and bolded the symptoms to make them easier to find.
I recently purchased a T61 6457-C15 on eBay, and have been in the proccess of setting up and customizing it to suit my tastes. When I recieved the laptop, it looked as though Windows had been restored to original factory state, plus some free software, so I proceeded under that assumption. First I used Windows Update to download all the updates that it could find including IE8. I wanted to have an anti-virus program running on my computer before I used a browser to access the internet. I ran IE8 and went straight to the Microsoft Security Essentials website and downloaded the Install program. At this point I tried to remove the pre-installed and expired Norton Internet Security using the built-in uninstall, but it failed. A message box popped saying that I needed to put the Norton installation disc in the CD-ROM drive so that the uninstall program could find a Norton support file. My computer did not come with any discs, but my mothe had bought Norton 2008, so I took that disc and put it in the drive. The drive started spinning right away, and the uninstall program found the file it was looking for in a few seconds. The support file directed me to the Norton website to get their removal tool, which removed Norton from my system in short order. Afterwards, I ran the Microsoft Security Essentials install program and got MSE running on my computer before doing anything else.
Then I went to the Lenovo support website and had it auto-detect my system. That took me to the support page for my system, where I went to the "Downloads and Drivers" page. I downloaded Access Connections and ThinkVantage Toolbox for Vista 32-bit (my OS is Vista Business 32-bit). I then used Lenovo System Update to retrieve all the updates it deemed neccessary from Lenovo, including those for itself and system components, both software and firmware. There were 35 or more updates suggested, and I trusted the software, so I started downloading them all. I'm not sure, but I think that a DVD/CD-RW drive update was included in the list, but I can't remember if it was auxiliary software, drivers or firmware. After Lenovo System Update was convinced that it had all the neccessary updates, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller and set about removing uneccassary and unwanted programs from my computer and trimming the startup list. I did not touch any Windows or ThinkVantage components, and I searched each program online, so I'm sure that I did not delete or disable any drivers or system files, or anything from Lenovo. I mainly removed Apple products and non-functional software from my system, including an integrated camera driver (my system does not have an integrated camera) and third-party programs that were already missing files or otherwise inoperable when I got my computer. Up to this point I had been using a gigabit ethernet connection to download software; I had not used the DVD/CD-RW drive except for the one time I specified earlier.
Now that I had my system set up to my liking, including personalization and power settings, I started to install my first program: Command & Conquer the First Decade from a DVD-ROM. When I put the disc in the drive and closed it, it took a few seconds for the drive to spin up, and once it did, it was constantly running at high speed and I could hear the reader constantly moving back and forth quickly. After a few minutes the disc's install menu finally appeared, so I clicked on the install button. I waited several minutes but nothing happened, so I tried to view the contents of the drive by going to My Computer > DVD/CD-RW drive (D, right clicking and selecting explore from the menu options. When I did that, the address bar of the My Computer window started to fill up with a dark gray progress bar and said "loading (D", I think with the drive or disc name after it. After it took several minutes to fill completely, nothing happened. I waited a few more minutes to see if anything would change, (nothing did,) I clicked on the X button in the top right corner of the window to close it. A few minutes and clicks later, the My Computer window was labeled as (not responding), and the window itself became grayed-out. I started Task Manager and tried to close the My Computer window, but the entire Windows Desktop disappeared along with it, saying that it would attempt to restart. Even Task Manager became non-responsive and quit after closing My Computer. After a few minutes of staring at my background (and nothing else), I ejected the disc, and Windows Desktop reappeared immediately and acted as if nothing had ever been wrong.
I checked Device Manager, but neither the DVD/CD-RW drive nor any of the ATA controllers were flagged; in fact they all said they were working properly with up-to-date drivers. I ran the ThinkVantage Toolbox diagnostics on the drive using a data CD, a music CD and a different DVD-ROM, but in each case the drive failed the tests and a message box popped-up saying that the discscould not be read because they were scratched or there was a hardware problem. I checked the discs both before I put them in and after I took them out, and they were not scratched; also, all of the discs are publisher-manufactured from a software or music company. I restarted my computer, booted the Rescue and Recovery option and Ran PC-Doctor from there. I ran the same drive read tests with the same failure results. The entire time the drive was behaving the same way it had when it first failed to read a disc. Next I removed and cleaned the drive both inside and out with a can of compressed air; I also cleaned the ultrabay itself. Finally I tried fixing the problem with Microsoft Fix It, but when it automatically ejected the drive and i put a disc in, the disc became trapped in the drive and Windows froze up like before. I had to restart Windows twice (once with a BSOD) in order to get the disc out. When the disc was removed the computer went back to normal operation once again.
Please help me, my DVD/CD-RW drive is a Matshi ta UJDA775, my operating system is Windows Vista Business and my T61's model number is 6457-C15. I have tried all the troubleshooting fixes and none have worked. I have tried updating drivers and using diagnostic software and they have not worked. I have tried disabling drag-to-disc burning and it has not worked. I have treid removing and cleaning the drive and that has not solved my problem. I did notice that the driver for the "Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI controller" is the only related driver that can be rolled back, so maybe that might fix it. I'm also wondering if a firmware change caused this, and if so, if there is any way I can undo that. The only other fix I've heard of that I haven't tried is editing the registry, but I'm hesitant to do that. I haven't tried booting from the CD drive because I have no bootable CDs and I'm worried that my computer might get stuck in that mode. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I can do to try to fix this problem, preferably without wrecking my computer. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
P.S. Just adding a note; I went through both the Microsoft and Lenovo Update histories and the only related updates I could find were: ThinkPad BIOS update, Easy Eject utility, Intel Matrix Storager Manager driver for Windows (32-bit), and maybe one of the two Intel Chipset Support for Vista updates. I tried rolling back the AHCI driver but it had no effect.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, my problem is fixed, and here's how. I had some trouble figuring out how to contact Lenovo technical support; online options directed me to the IBM support website, which was clearly designed for businesses. Selecting the "Call technical support" option on the Lenovo support website and then choosing my country gave me a 24/7 hotline number. After waiting about five minutes on hold, a nice young fellow by the name of "Tyrese" answered (I maybe misspelling his name), but the connection was so bad that we could barely hear each other. Although he semed eager to help, when I told him my problem the first things he suggested were simple, like cleaning the drive, However, when I told him all of my efforts, described above, to fix the problem myself and read him the log from the Rescue and Recovery diagnostic program, after he checked the error codes against his computer database he promptly replied that the only fix was to send out a new drive. I was happy to have gotten such a successful resolution to a support call in less than fifteen minutes; apparently, all the work I had done trying to solve the problem myself had paid off in a way. Unfortunately, although I had tried to spell out my address for him, some of it got left off of the address label, which caused some trouble in receiving the new drive. Once I got it, I installed it using the uninstall & remove (old drive), shut down, start up, insert & install (new drive) method that I referenced earlier in this topic. I've been using the new drive since then without any trouble, so I guess that the only fix was to replace the drive. Also, I noticed that the new drive was a Hitachi, perhaps a T400/410 or T500/510 Ultrabay Slim drive, which should help me avoid the problems that other users were having with the older Matshi-ta drives. I hope this description helps anyone else having a problem with the optical drives on the T61/61p.

Kernel Panic: AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED

I have frequent (but random) Kernel Panic when logging off or turning off my MacBookPro5 as reported in the log.
I am running 10.6.4 but it started sometime when using 10.6.3 too. I already tried to change RAM and I am now using 2x2GB Apple Branded RAM borrowed from another perfectly working Macbook.
I also reinstalled the system from the original DVD (no Time Machine) and the Panic happened few reboots after updating 10.6.4 with no other software installed.
The Macbook is connected to an Apple LED Display and a Bluetooth mouse, but the Panic happen also with nothing connected.
Repairing permission and resetting PRAM has no effect.
Here is the log. I am worried about "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED" because I found no reference in the whole Google and Apple archive .... :-/
Thanks in advance for any support.

Sorry to say but I feel better not being alone on this problem
I can confirm that the KP happen with both external devices plugged or unplugged, with or without the power adapter charging and it all started with 10.6.3 and now with 10.6.4 when using the integrated Graphic Card (I never switch to the discrete one).
One interesting unusual bit is that, yes ... the KP show up when I turn off the mac from the Apple menu but also when I restart it ... and when I mean "restart it" I mean when I select "restart" from the Apple menu drop down menu. What happen is that the confirmation popup appears and that's when the KP happen ... not on confirmation, but just after the confirmation popup appears.
I am wondering what's going under the hood between the menu selection and the popup ..

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
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. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
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.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
