MBP randomly shuts down every few hours (while plugged in)

MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009
3.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Battery has been shoddy for a few years now. Only lasts about 15-30 minutes, but I just use the power cord.
Recently, the MBP (with cord plugged in) has been randomly shutting down every few hours. Immediately prior to shutting down, the status bar says the battery is fully charged, and I can unplug the cord, and there are no issues. When restart the computer, the battery will now say it's anywhere from 0-60% full.
The fact that the MBP shuts down even with the cord leads me to believe it's a logic board issue. If that's the case, what's the best option?
I figure I can either:
1. Replace just the battery and assume the healthy battery will weather any logic board lapses
2. Replace both the battery and the logic board
My local Apple Store said they could replace the logic board and battery for $300 total.
Is this necessary, and if so, is it worth buying the parts and trying to replace myself?

Yes, it's the flat-rate depot repair.
Ok, you've (mostly) answered my primary concern... I was wondering what would happen if it turns out this isn't a logic board issue, and if my $310 would go to waste. The thing is that, right now, my MBP appears to be working perfectly fine until it randomly shuts off, which can take a few hours. So, if the depot replaces the logic board + battery, the MBP appears to be working there (I can't imagine they'll test it for more than 5 minutes), the depot sends it back, and after hours of use, I still have the same issue, I'll be able to get a refund, yes?
If so, I'll probably just opt for this deal since replacement parts on eBay appear to be about the same price.
Thanks for the help!

    Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
    In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
    Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
    First: Shut down your computer completely
    Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
    Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
    If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
    If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
    Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
    All the best.

    My Macbook Pro just randomly shuts down and I have to plug it into power to be able to turn it back on. Anybody got any suggestions?

    Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • MBP randomly shuts down when on power

    The last couple of days I have experienced several times that my macbook pro suddenly shuts down while I am working. I have read about others experiencing the same problem while running the MBP on battery, but I am running on power.
    Two months ago I got new battery and main board because of a short circuit when I pushed the power button.
    Any ideas what to do?
    It is to early to say, but I suspect it may have something to do with my airport express, because every time the MBP have shut down, its while I have streamed music from iTunes to airport express.
    I am using a 6 months old Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.4

    You might try to reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and/or PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory). Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM?
    The SMC controls some of the sleep functions.

  • MBP Random Shut Down

    My daughter has a recent 13" MBP running 10.6.2. Lately, since the 10.6.2 upgrade, the machine has taken to randomly shutting down. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. This evening she lost a couple of hours of work because of this (and not saving often enough). Has anyone else experienced this? I haven't found much on the forum.
    Rick.

    I agree with previous posts.
    I was having similar issues and here's what I did:
    -download the combo 10.6.2
    -repair permissions
    -update 3rd party applications (i.e. Flash)
    -repair permissions and verify disk to be sure (again)
    -reset PRAM
    -restart
    -reset SMC
    -also did a hardware test from the Apple Care Tech Tool
    Sounds like paranoia but all of my issues were frustrating - kernel panics, application running slowly, random restarts, hot temps, fans 6000+ RPMs, iDVD, CPU spikes, slow start and shut down, etc.
    As of now, no issues and everything is running smoothly. Actually, SL is running faster than ever before. Flash websites are operating fine.
    Hope this helps for anyone else.

  • MBP Randomly Shuts Down!!

    I have had my MBP for a year now and everything has been working great until recently. About a week ago it randomly shut off while I was on the internet. The battery was about 60% full and I just thought it did this because it got too hot. Today the same thing happened, however, this time it was not hot. I tried starting it back up 3 times and every time it shut down during start up. Any ideas on what might be going on here and how to fix it?
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi,
    Does it happen only on battery ?
    If it occurs, contact your nearest CMAA for an exchange, maybe your battery is one of the Sony's Burning series

  • When unplugged my MBP randomly shuts down and won't start up again

    When my MBP is unplugged it randomly shuts off and won't restart. To get it to boot up again I have to plug it in.
    Today I was using my computer for about 15 minutes unplugged and it just shut down by itself. I was right in the middle of typing something and it just cut out. The other weird thing is I don't get a low battery warning, nothing, it just shuts down.
    Then I press the power button to restart and I get nothing. Even when I pull the battery out and put it back in nothing. I pressed the battery level button and it blinked rapidly on the lowest 2 lights. Keep in mind I was using my computer unplugged for only 15 minutes immediately after unplugging it from the wall after it had been charing for 15+ hours.
    This makes no sense. Please help me.
    -Jacob

    Sounds like a bad battery and/or problem with the PMU (power management unit) and/or memory.
    "Half the start up sound" is a bad sign as it means it's failing the normal start up tests (I'd guess a Memory problem)
    Reset the PMU and run the Hardware tests from Install DVD1 (hold down d at startup) and see what it reports.

  • Macbook shuts down every few min. year ago started saying"StartVolum full"

    my macbook just shuts down by itself in the middle of everything and with energy..
    yesterday almost every 15 min but i was always able to simply turn it on again, like nothing happend, then almost 24h everything back to normal and just now it happend again two times...
    about a year ago it warned, sometimes every 30 sec. the "Start Volume" was full and i would need to immediatly close some windows and erase some stuff so nothing would get damaged...
    after six months give or take i turned my macbook on and everything was gone and its almost like back to factory settings, just some changes i had made, maybe the first year i had it...
    itunes and iphoto was like never opened before.... and empty!!!!!
    but i found some files somewhere which i think could be at least parts of my stuff but i couldn't open nor move them...
    don't know what to do!!!! i'm absolutly nnnnooooo computer person.....
    i actually didn't use it that much, i would have thought there must be more memory left, i used only itunes and iphoto and i had sims2 on it but didn't play and dodn't take space.....did i?
    sorry for my bad english and grammar but i'm desperate
    i love my macbook
    Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
    if that helps anything...

    I had the same problem, and here's my fix.
    Without calibrating the battery for a loong time, the battery no longer knew how much useable charge was left in itself! With 20 minutes left on the battery, the laptop would run out of battery and shut off without warning. It happened multiple times and I got frustrated. After calibration I got some charge time back, but more importantly, the battery now knew its limits and reported the correct amount of time left. And now it goes into sleep & deep sleep when it needs to.
    If you have not performed a calibration in a long time (over a year), do the calibration twice. It worked for me! You might notice a very large change in usable charge after a calibration. Mine went from 5000 to 2000 after first calibration, then back to 3500 after another calibration. I am guessing that my true current capacity is around 3500, after 114 cycles. So your battery should be about 2900 or so?

  • Firefox "stops working" and shuts down every few mins or less.

    A message pops up that says Firefox has stopped working and to close the program. I can "refresh" to the same spot but it's happening every few mins or less. Any suggestions? It's only been happening for the past 3 days, and like others who's systems are "crashing," it's only been happening since the newest update (18) updated onto my computer. I have already done the Firefox refresh or whatever it was called... The only thing that did was get rid of my extra bookmark toolbar rows...still trying to figure out how to get those back! :(

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
    #Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.
