MBP Turning off unexpectedly

Hi! My MBP is just turned off after somewhat 30 mins - 1 hr if i don't use power, even though my battery has been fully loaded. It works just fine with the power plugged in...
I have tried to calibrate the battery as apple recommends and I have tried to reset something (cant remember what it was called) by turning off my computer, taking out the battery, plugging out the AC-adapter and then holding the powerbutton for 10 secs. Nothing fixes my problem! The computer still just turn itself off without a warning and with lots of battery capacity left (atleast 3/5 dots on the battery and somewhat 2-3 hours in OS). I also have the latest update 1.3 installed.
It just slams off. No warning. No sleep. i have to plug in the adapter and reboot.
Here's my battery info without power connected

Does anybody know how to solve this? I want a portable computer again!! I've had the computer for 12 months and 2 weeks..

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like you have already tried resetting the SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
I am wondering if you might have a defective battery:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
I am not fluent in Swedish, but I am looking at your battery statistics compared to mine, as my computer is of a very similar age and I have a good battery. I see you have 47 cycles and I have 41. I assume that "skick" means condition, but I don't know what "Bra" means. The condition of mine is listed as "Good". I notice that your Charge Remaining (mAh) is 5012, less than the Full charge Capacity of 5383. Mine has 6524 for both. ( I have the 17 inch, so some of these numbers may be different.) Your Amperage seems to be 705 mA with the power adaptor connected, and -1539 mA with it disconnected. Mine reads 148mA whether or not I am connected to the power adaptor.
I'm not a battery expert, but I understand that the battery does have its own microprocessor which can get messed up somehow. I don't know of a way to fix it other than trying to reset the SMC.
Do you have a friend with the same MBP? Or access to an Apple Store? If so, you might be able to try a known good battery and see if that cures the problem. Or if your battery causes the same problem in another Mac.
Good luck!

  • My IMac  version 10.6.8 with Intel core duo beeps and turns off unexpectedly in both Mac and Windows mode. How do I fix this?

    My IMac turns off unexpectedly in both Mac & Windows mode.  I've repaired disc and permissions using the Snow Leopard install disk and cleared the cache without help.  Any ideas how to prevent this?

    The HAT test detected no problems.  Perhaps one of the peripherals, e.g., the backup disk, is causing the problem.  I'll try to run the MAC without peripherals for a few days and see what happens, unless you have other suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Airport Express turns off unexpectedly

    Hy, I have a problem from a week with my airport espress.
    It turns off unexpectedly, when I connect it to the electrical outlet,
    it works for a few minutes (good wireless signal). After few minutes
    It turns off, like no power. If I muve the cable, it starts to work, but after few mitutes
    it turns off.
    I think thet the problem is related to the power supply (I tried to change several outlets).
    suggestions?

  • Device turns off unexpectedly and does not respond

    Just got my iPhone yesterday and originally it took over an hour to turn on. I was able to get it on at one point and go through the activation and syncing process. The phone turned off unexpectedly once the next morning and took over an hour to turn back on, only after plugging it into the computer and then unplugging it. Restoring it was not possible. It turned off again and I was able to boot it up withing an hour. Then now it turned off again and I haven't been able to turn it back on for over 5 hours. Help!

  • MBP turns off during boot

    Hello!
    My mid-2010 MBP is having some issues. It is no longer under applecare. Last year, when it was still under applecare, I had a problem of the display going black many times per day while doing even simple tasks. I believe they replaced the logic board and everything worked just fine after that.
    However, last night my laptop suddenly went black while viewing a PDF. I tried opening and closing the cover, nothing could get the screen back. At that time, the keyboard was still lit up and the caps lock button still worked (light would turn on and off when pressing).
    I did a hard-reset.
    The laptop screen lit up like it was starting, and then died. Tried again, nothing. So, I waited about five minutes and tried again. The screen lit up, the apple appeared, and then the laptop died.
    After many attempts, I have seen it do many different things. Sometimes it dies before the apple appears. Sometimes it dies after that, but before login screen. Sometimes it dies on the login screen. Usually the longer I wait, the further it will go - however, even when stone cold and not warm at all after waiting hours, it will still only run for ten minutes before it turns off. Sometimes if I can get all the way through startup, it will run for a minute, or five minutes, or ten minutes, but it always fails. Sometimes it turns completely off, but sometimes only the display goes black and the keyboard stays lit. I can even change the keyboard illumination up or down when this happens. Its about a 50/50 chance whether the display will die or the whole laptop will die. Whichever one it is, though, it still requires 10-15 minutes before I can try again, or the machine will just fail halfway through startup.
    I have also tried starting into bootcamp. It worked for five minutes in Windows and then died.
    I have tried booting up while holding shift, but it was taking a very long time for the progress bar at the bottom to fill, and halfway through the laptop shut down.
    As I said at the beginning, the logic board is one year old.

    After sitting for a day, I started up the laptop and made it all the way through login. I let the machine sit without touching anything for about twenty minutes, nothing happened.
    I then opened Chrome, and as soon as I began typing into the search box, the entire computer shut down, and restarted by itself.
    Halfway through restart, the screen turned black. I waited, and after a minute the keyboard lit up so I knew it was at the login screen, though I couldn't see anything. I typed the first letter of my name, pressed enter, typed my password, and pressed enter again.
    I presume the computer is logged in and sitting at the desktop now...I have the laptop set up so that if I move the cursor to one corner, it puts the display to sleep. When I do this with the track pad, I can see the keyboard lights dim, then light back up again when I move the cursor back out of the corner.
    Anyone have any suggestions? How can I get my screen back?

  • Satellite A660 turns off unexpected​ly during heightened performanc​e situations

    Hi,
    I currently own a Toshiba Satellite A660, recently it has been shutting off unexpectedly when I play games.  I've always played these games before which is why it concerns me.  After it shuts down if I try to turn it on immediately the fan goes at full blast and it will turn off again and I must wait a few minutes for it to cool.  It seems like my computer is working too hard to cool the processor or whatever.
    I cleaned up my disk space and am at 0% fragmentation so thats as far as my knowledge goes.
    Thank you

  • I got a replacement battery, reset the SMC, and my computer will still turn off unexpectedly.

    Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, 2ghz iz, C0*****F8V.
    My original battery wore down to the point where it would not be recognized as available and the computer couldn't power on without shutting down in a few minutes. I ordered a replacement battery, certified Apple genuine, but after 3 days it reached about half charge and the computer died, not turning back on without the adapter. When it did reboot the battery was at 0% and not charging, and the computer was incredibly slow and laggy.
    I refunded and returned this battery and got a new one. I've had it installed about 2 days and the computer will still turn off if not plugged in at about 80-85%. I have reset my SMC multiple times and my PRAM as well. coconutBattery says nothing is wrong with the battery.
    What can I do? I'm a freelance video editor and this is basically calling me out sick from work for a week now.
    Thanks!

    I just finished running the AHT and an extended test. Hardware error pointing to the battery on both:

    upon the extended test.
    Do these codes refer strictly to the battery, or to possibly other components that interact with it?
    I can not give you a definitive answer to that.  The 'x's' which I have marked should be letters.  If so, could you provide them and that may give us a clue:
    If that is actually what was generated by the AHT, then I am a bit surprised.
    At any rate, the bottom line is that the MBP does not like your battery even though the output information that you provided does not indicate anything adverse.  An Apple battery should correct your problem, I would think, but there is an alternative that I came across yesterday that you might consider.  OWC. a Mac oriented vendor, is now selling replacement batteries for MBPs.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/BAP15MBU78W/
    Based on the reputation of the company, I personally would be willing to try their non-Apple branded replacement.  I have dealt with them a fair amount, so my statement is from experience.  Note that is has a 1 year guarantee as do the Apple batteries.  ( I will need a replacement for my 2010 MBP and I will probably purchase it from them)
    Ciao.

  • VM Roles restarted and turn off unexpectedly

    for the pass two weeks I get unexpected and random turn off, migration and shutdown of  vm roles on a 3 nodes Windows 2012 failover cluster on Dell hardware and EMC data storage.  I find an error in the logs but cannot find what is causing

    I have just encountered a problem with my vm-605 whilst toying around with it. The thing froze up and all the lights come on.
    If you look at the back of the device just to the left above the label is a hole. Gently poke with a paperclip until you here a faint click. 
    This has fixed my problem!!

  • MBP powering off unexpectedly when running on mains power

    I have an early 2006 MBP 15". For the past few weeks it has been powering off unexpectedly while running on mains power. If I take the battery out and continue on mains power there is no problem.
    I replaced the battery with a new one but I still have the same problem with running on mains power, battery installed and powering off unexpectedly. This happens about 5 minutes after powering up.
    Has anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?
    Thanks.

    Hello J.C Thanks for your response. I tried resetting the SMC but the problem still occurred. With some further investigation I have narrowed it down to a USB accessory. Either mouse, keyboard or iPhone docking station.
    Seems weird that the problem didn't occur when the battery was taken out but still running on mains power.

  • MBP turning off randomly while on battery

    So my MBP keeps turning off randomly while I'm using battery, first few times it happened I thought it had just got to hot and turned off because of that. But after it happend a few times i noticed that its not even hot to the touch. Its happening what ever i am doing even when I have very low cpu usage like listening to i tunes, or just watching a movie.
    Any ideas what it could be?
    Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    I have the same problem. It is most likely the battery has become faulty or possibly damaged. Best to replace the battery or if you can call one of the genius' at the mac store.

    I just bought my nano today, it works fine other than the fact that it turns off for no apparent reason. Battery life is in the middle, and i keep the hold button on. It just restarts for no reason. Thanks for the help.

    It may just be that the battery has not received a full charge yet - see the following:

  • Why does my iMac turn off unexpectedly?

    I have had my iMac for over two years and never had this problem. It has just started about two weeks ago. About 30 minutes or so, maybe shorter or longer, after I turn it on, this gray bar goes over the screen and then a message appears. It says to please turn off or restart the computer. What can I do to stop this. I've heard that it might be an overheating problem, but I'm not sure.

    Hello Fredrick. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If the screen is in multiple languages as per the following link, then you are experiencing a kernel panic.
    What is a Kernel panic?
    It is difficult to pin down but is often a hardware related matter. Sometime failing RAM can lead to this problem as well.

    How about more info so a diagnosis and help can be formulated? Mac model (size), RAM, OS version, age, battery status? What are you doing when it happens? How often? And if you want to be really abundant, pertinent logfiles?
