Macbook pro 15" 2010 model has a graphics card issue.

Apple are aware of a fault on the 2010 model of the Macbook pro. This requires a full motherboard replacement. Apple have known about this for a long time and had a repair program running which they didnt tell anyone about. Problem is after 3 years they refuse to fix anymore and the customer now sits with the problem. After spending 6 months trying to find cause of the problem finally found someone at Apple who knew about the program and tested my machine. Fault was confirmed by Apple technician but now Apple refuses to fix as past 3 year mark.
How many other secret issues exist in Apple which you pay a premium price for but get screwed by the supplier. Didnt expect this from Apple.

I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you!

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2010 (Model 6.2) restarts like cray cray

    Can't believe this is happening...
    Macbook Pro Mid 2010 Model - Intel i5 2.4GHz - RAM 8GB - GPU NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
    So I've seen quite a lot of threads discussing the 'GPU Panic' issue since I first encountered it a few weeks ago. The problem had never occurred on my MBP prior to that. However, the situation is now so bad that I wouldn't be able to open the Mac OS and make a copy of the panic report before it automatically reboots. Fortunately I have Windows 8 installed on the machine so I am still able to post for help on here.
    A few questions / personal thoughts on the issue:
    I bought this MBP back in June 2010 in China... So I won't be eligible for a free repair by any means right? It's been almost fours years since the purchase - significantly longer than three years restricted by Apple. I've seen another user who posted how they successfully defended their consumer rights by bringing some printouts of consumer laws and regulations. Lots of respect for that... But surely that only applies to goods purchased in the UK right? I'm so screwed... If a repair costs a few hundred quid then there is no point doing it, is there? I guess I can live with Windows for one or two years before the machine wears out and then get a new one. That being said, I still wonder if anyone in similar situation has managed to get free repair (GPU / logic board replacement or whatever it is). If so, mind sharing your story?
    Is it nearly impossible to make a Genius Bar reservation nowadays or is it just me? My plan was to bring my MBP and talk to a genius and see where it goes. But both Covent Garden and Regent Street seem fully booked until a distant future. The reservation page does not show any available time slots, it simply says 'There are no available appointments at this store'. I mean I don't really mind if it is in a few days, a week, a month or even a year, just give me something. Telling people 'no availabe appointments at this store' is not very helpful is it? Since I have never had a Genius reservation (never had any issue using my MBP until this one - the good old days are gone) before, I'm curious what would happen if I just walk in with my MBP. Would they ask me to make a reservation or would they serve me right away?
    Since I have never encountered the GPU panic issue (or any issue really) before I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. I had never had any similar problems running Windows (Previously Vista, 7 and now 8) on my MBP either. I am speculating maybe the GPU Panic issue is more of a software bug. I am not ruling out the possibility of the GPUs being defective, but considering that fact everything was perfectly fine before the arrival of the evil Mavericks (for me, the upgrade to Mvericks 10.9.2), maybe the specific problem is down to Mavericks? I think this could be good news because Apple could quickly fix it for everyone as long as they know about the issue. Well... I don't think our chances of getting it sorted quickly are good, especially not when the new iPhone/iOS, which generates 10X more profits than Macs, is at the most critical stage of development. What do you guys think?
    Oh it is just so frustrating. Using Windows on a Mac is definitely a nightmare - miserable 2 hour battery life and noisy non-stop fan spinning. Someone please help....................

    In the Replacement Program Support Article, it states:
    Apple will service affected 15-inch MacBook Pro computers free of charge until three years from date of purchase. This worldwide Apple program does not extend the standard warranty coverage of the affected MacBook Pro.

    According to these terms, you are outside the eligibility window. However, I still second andyBall_uk's sentiments.
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation. Print out a copy of the kernel panic report and the Support Article. If the 'Genius' refuses servicing without cost, ask for the store manager. It is ultimately at the manager's discretion.
    Additionally, if this doesn't work out, you can look into Apple's flat fee repair program:

  • MacBook Pro "15 2011 model has started crashing. Symptoms: screen distortion/images fragmenting/blue screening. Help!

    Hi everyone!
    I currently own a Macbook Pro '15, 4gb that was purchased in early 2011 running Snow Leopard (my version is currently 10.6.8). For under the past 3 year it has been heavily reliable, and I have not ran in to any software, or hardware issues. However, over the past 3 or so months I have been having issues.
    During May 2014 through to present date I have started experiencing screen glitches. It first began with image distortion, causing the whole system to crash, which would mean I would have to turn it off and reboot the system. Later this turned into a series of screen blurring (consisting of images fragmenting all over the place) and then finally followed with 2 weeks of blue screening on start up, meaning that I could not get into my log user unless I entered safe mode. I should also mention that I have no third party issues.
    After doing some considerable research on apple forums I did what had to be done. In the last two weeks I have wiped my MacBook Pro, re-installed the OS and considered that it was now a process of elimination. For the first week the software seemed to been running smoothly, I wasn't having any failings until I hit the second week – of course, the glitches began all over again and I faced two in the space of a half hour (first my screen split into two during listening to music on spotify with no other applications open in the background, shortly after rebooting I faced a much worse case of my Mac completely dark blue screening with white lines.)
    Now, once again, it only works 'well' on safe mode. I did a check in both modes. Left my computer idle with no programmes running for a half hour and the same thing happened with the screen, went black for a moment, moved the mouse and I received a fragmented screen again. I'm completely fed up at this point, considering I have the bare minimal amount on my Mac, I honestly can't fathom how it's come to this.
    Now considering my model is not even three years old at this stage you can fully understand my frustration since I heavily rely on my laptop for educational purposes, which is making it very difficult to be able to concentrate on any of my studies. If anything, it is causing a great deal of stress. With my product being out of warranty I don't have an obscene amount of money to pay for a new one. When I already paid roughly £1,699 for the product in the first place.
    The worst thing is, I've even done a EtreCheck, this was yesterday (the most recent/last time it was in use)

    I've had a look to book an appointment at the Genius Bar, but would you believe it, there are no available appointments at my local store! I really would appreciate if anyone could offer any assistance in how to lodge a formal complaint? My days rely on being able to do my work, so whilst I have tried to book a reservation I am at a loss, and pretty much screwed having a Mac that I clearly cannot use functionally.
    If anyone can provide any help, I'd be absolutely most grateful!

  • Just downloaded mavericks, now iPhoto won't load because of an error message that says "You can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac" . I have a 17" MacBook Pro, mid 2010 model running 2.53 GHz and Intel Core I5,

    I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!

    What version of iPhoto do you have installed?  Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
    If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5.  It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2010 Model very sluggish when trying to carry out "demanding" tasks.

    Hello,
    I've had my MacBook Pro for almost three years now, I purchased it in August of 2010 and I have never had any problems with it until recently. First, the disk drive went out on me, it will read very low capacity disks such as photo disks or DVDs but when I try to pop in a game disk or burn anything, it makes this really loud noise and freezes up. I've already had this problem looked at, and I will be sending it to Apple to be repaired in the next month or so.
    However, recently, a new problem has occured. Whenever I open an app, especially Safari, if I try to carry out "demanding" tasks (i.e. watch videos on YouTube, get on Facebook, listen to music from Pandora) it freezes and the only solution is to shut the computer down (by pressing and holding the power button, which I know is unhealthy for the computer) and turn it back on. Control+Option+Esc doesn't work anymore when this problem occurs and it doesn't just freeze the app in question, it freezes the entire computer. My GeekSquad and AppleCare over-the-phone-support options are both expired, as I haven't had any reason to renew them, since I haven't had any problems in the past two and a half years.
    I have tried every solution that has been said on the web. I've cleaned all the chaches, I've reset the SMC, I tried to reset the PRAM but I didn't get the expected results, I've reset Safari, I've run virus scans, I've deleted unecessary items, I've done disk repairs, I've run all the great utility apps such as OnyX and Memory Clean, I have done everything that has been suggested with no results.
    The only thing I can attribute this to is the recent addition of Virtual DJ Pro to my computer. My boyfriend and I use this computer for many purposes, such as making music, making videos, photo editing, writing, surfing the web, but mostly used for school. It used to be used for playing Sims 3, but since the disk drive has stopped working, I have removed the program from the computer completely.
    I have read that Macs usually slow down after about 80% of their memory capcity is reached. I'm worried that this is the problem, but why would it only affect Safari? iMovie and iPhoto occasionally freeze, but they have had this problem since I've had the computer. This computer is running with a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor with OS X 10.8.3 software and 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 memory. I plan on buying an external hard drive soon and backing up using Time Machine, as I have never done this before and I fear that this problem may affect all of my documents.
    I'm still covered by the in-store GeekSquad, but it's a twenty minute drive and the last time I took it in for the disk drive check-up, they basically said "Sorry, take it to Apple" and the nearest Apple store is three hours away in Kansas City, MO.
    I put this question under "Internet and Networking" as the thing mostly affected by this problem is Safari. My internet connection is not the problem; it performs fine on the desktop, iPad, and iPhone 5. I am at my wits end here, and if anyone could offer a simple solution, I would be more than grateful. Thank you for your time in reading and taking time to respond to my question.

  • What internal hard drive can i use to upgrade the one i have in my 13" MacBook Pro mid 2010 model?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 model machine. Love it to bits but i want more applications, more documents, more music and more iPad apps backed up, problem is I am running out of space. I want to update the hard drive inside my computer, so is this possible and what hard drive is recommended? Any help is greatly appreciated

    Any 2.5" HDD will do the trick. Your computer will run up to SATA II (3Gbps).
    But I would suggest perhaps getting a Data Doubler + swapping your DVD Drive for another HDD, so you have 2 internal HDD's?

  • MacBook Pro Late 2010, Model 7,1 Error in Upgrading to 8 GB RAM

    I've been trying to upgrade my RAM to 8 GB from the 4 GB on my MacBook Pro Model 7,1, late 2010.
    My 4 GB runs smoothly; I can get 6 GB to run smoothly, switching 4 GB PNY to banks 0 or 1 without a problem.
    All memory tests good in either bank.
    When both 4 GB RAM modules are inserted, the MacBook Pro hangs a few seconds after the gear starts turning on start-up.
    I have now tried two pair of 4 GB RAM modules. Same results every time.
    I am running all the OS updates from Apple using OS 10.6.8. I am now running 6 GB RAM without a hitch. Any suggestions on how to get both 4 GB RAM modules to work together so that I'll have the advantages of the full 8 GBytes?
    TIA
    Jeff
    (P.S. Search of pasts posts not helpful.)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Not trying to be redundant about things you've already tried, but you didn't mention it, so I'll offer this:
    Have you tried a PRAM after installing both 4GB modules?
    I had a similar problem with a RAM upgrade in a 2009 MacBook Pro.
    Once PRAM was reset at power-on (hold down Command-Option-P-R and wait for it to reboot twice before releasing the keys) it worked.
    An SMC reset wouldn't seem to be related to RAM, but it doesn't hurt anything to try:

    Ok, so I use this laptop for a variety of things, including watching television, work, and playing video games. Occasionally (read: consistently but still seemingly random) when under moderate-heavy stress, the computer will "shut down". What I mean by this is the screen will instantly turn black, and there will be an audio stutter remaining with the only option being to do a hard restart. This happens on a variety of games and videos, including League of Legends and Counter Strike, mostly everything I play consistently. I will post the crash report below as well.

    This is telling you the issue: the NVIDIA GPU is damaged.
    As this is hardware issue, the only thing you can do is to make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the logic board replaced again. Your Mac is still under the 90-day warranty of the last repair, so it will be free

  • MacBook Pro late 2011 - Wrong uses of graphic card

    Hi everyone,
    I have installed windows 7 on my bootcamp, I had issues with the quality of the game so I decided to install Catalyst AMD, but it didn't work as I expected, So I uninstalled it and I runned the bootcamp CD to reinstall every driver as they should be. Getting bored of Windows I decided to reboot my mac to Mac and I don't know why but I want to go to the specification of my Macbook Pro and I realised that my MacBook Pro was using the wrong graphic card as the main one. I mean I don't know enough about technology to be sure of what I see, it's why I'm posting and I am also giving you a screen sharing so you can make your self an idea of the situation. Any body has an idea of what I should do ? Is this maybe the reason my games that usually runs at full speed(FPS) suddenly runs at a lower speed (FPS) ?
    Sincerely,
    Fred

    "I have been reading all the posts about connection problems with the MacPros."
    People come here because they have a problem. It's like the emergency room in a hospital. No well people. I never have had any issue connecting via airport anywhere. I've had 3 PowerBooks and this is my 2nd MacBook Pro. It's a matter of setting it up correctly from the start.

  • Will the new macbook pro retina's have a dedicated graphics card?

    I know that Intel released their new Haswell processors that are energy efficient but I want that graphics power of dedicated graphics. It wouldn't be cool if the Macbook Pro Retina basically gets a downgrade in graphics. I am however all for duel graphics like the current models have.

    Nobody can answer this question, unfortunately.

  • MacBook Pro will not boot after switching graphics cards

    Dear All,
    I have a late-2008 unibody MacBook Pro. I have had it since April 2009, and I have not encountered any real problems with it.
    Yesterday, I switched to the 9600 graphics card for the first time since purchasing the machine. It logged me out as expected, but then proceeded to flash a blank blue screen at me for 20 minutes. Assuming that this was not normal, I powered down the computer by holding the power button. I powered it on again, and it will not get past the Apple symbol screen with the loading whirligig. I left it on for seven hours (overnight), and no change.
    I booted it from the install disc and ran the Disk Utility verify and repair. It either gives me no problem or a block count error, which goes away when I run repair. I tried running verify on permissions, but this gives me a "failed to exit" or some such error, same with repair permissions. Restarting gives me the same apple logo screen until forever.
    I've tried resetting PRAM, doing the battery removal and holding power button for 5 seconds, I've tried booting in safe mode (it won't), and doing an archive and install (which it can't do either, as it can't access my HDD or something). I've run the disk utility verify and repair several times.
    I unfortunately don't have a recent backup (slapping myself), so I'm open to suggestions before going into despair over my $2600 paperweight before doing an erase and install...
    Thanks in advance!
    PS: is there a way to open the computer in target disk mode via the install cd so that I CAN back it up?
    Message was edited by: Kaklz

    Thanks, Joe. That may be an option if all else fails. I don't currently own an enclosure, so I am looking for an alternative before spending any money (I know, "frugal Apple user" is unheard of, but...).
    I do have an old G3 tower, which I am using in the meantime, so if I can use this to open my MBP in target disk mode (or some other way of making a backup), I'd be overjoyed!

  • New Retina Macbook pro 15 base model has no option for dGPU?

    I really wanted to get a rMBP 15 inch with a dedicated graphics chip, 16 gb of ram and 2.0 or 3.3 ghz processor but only 256 GB of ram.
    But I did not see any option for that. I assumed that the discrete graphics would be optional for the 15 inch but it ended up only in the high end version.
    Why is that?

    I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
    I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
    If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you!

  • Access Virus TI & Macbook Pro Mid 2010 model

    Hi All,
    Ongoing USB related issue here, hoping someone with a similar setup can help out.
    I've had issues connecting my Virus TI to my MBP since the day I got it using the Virus Control plugin. I'm using it with Ableton Live 8.2.1 and also have 8.2 installed. There is no issue with the software I'm using or the Virus itself as I've successfully run both on my old Macbook (which I've now sold, grrrr...)
    I've been jumping through the hoops Access support have putting up but it seems I can't do anything to get stable performance from the TI. Those familiar with the TI will no doubt also be familiar with dreaded "communication errors" and "sync errors". It seems when I can things working correctly that this is very short lived before one of the aforementioned errors rears its ugly head. Same behaviour when using both USB ports.
    My soundcard and the Virus both have up to date drivers. I'm yet to try downgrading the firmware on these devices, and would prefer to do try that as a last resort. I'm thinking there may be some kind of conflict with these devices but am clueless as to how I'd go about fixing it.
    I'm unable to locate any drivers/updates for the MBP that might rectify the problem either.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Shesh.

    Hi DaddyPaycheck,
    I've done that too.
    The TI detects that it's connected to a hub and the VC plugin won't open.
    I tested the USB ports last night with the Tech Tool De Luxe suite that came with my apple care plan and everything seems to be working fine so I'm really at a loss as to how to resolve this.
    Thanks, I appreciate your efforts.
    Shesh

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2010 Battery Capacity

    I've read a few threads about this, mostly about battery capacity rapidly dropping after an install of ML. I installed ML when it first came out, and just noticed the drastic decrease in battery life about 3 weeks ago. My capacity could have potentially been dropping since I installed ML (and I just now noticed it), or it may have just started a couple weeks ago when I noticed. I'm not sure.
    Either way, my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) now has a battery life of less than an hour, even with extremely light processor load. I contacted Apple about this, and the tech said that the battery was rated for 1000 cycles. I'm currently at 220, and my battery capacity is a pathetic 30%. He said that since I wasn't under warranty, there was nothing they could do besides replace the battery - which I really want to avoid since I'm a broke college student.
    Is there anything I can do here? I understand that I'm not under warranty anymore, and this wouldn't be a problem if my battery was degrading normally. However, getting 1/5th of the recommended battery life is pretty sad. I've read that doing a clean install of Mountain Lion/Lion might help. Is there a way I can do this without having to back up all my files? I don't have an external hard drive or anything.
    It seems this is a common topic in these forums. Any help or links to solutions would be great. If this is answered in a similar topic, I'll gladly delete.
