My Macbook Pro 15" (late 2007) shuts down unexpectedly

I have started having this problem intermittently over the past month, and it has gotten worse over the past two days.
I am using my Macbook Pro normally (watching Youtube videos or online streams primarily), and it will suddenly either go to sleep or shut down entirely.  If it goes to sleep, I can press enter and it will wake up briefly before going back to sleep about 3 seconds later, until eventually it will just shut down on its own.  If it shuts down completely, I can press the power button to start it back up, but it will shut down again before even reaching the login screen.  I tried going into bootcamp, but it shut down before I could select the Windows partition.
The only thing that has worked so far is resetting the SMC by holding Shift+ctrl+alt+power button for a few seconds while it is off.  That lets me start it up for a while, but if I ever start using it for something a bit more demanding (again, Youtube or video streams, for example), it will shut down after probably about 30 min. of use.
I just got back from the Apple store today to get my power adapter and my battery replaced.  The power adapter cable connection was exposed, and the computer had been saying to service the battery for a couple of years now.  After replacing those, the service battery message went away, but it just started shutting down again.  The Apple store MRI diagnostics only showed the battery problem.
One other piece of info is that I hear a click from the left side of the laptop before it shuts down (can't tell if left front or left back).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Apple Logo Stuck While Booting (Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007)

    As I have installed Mac OS X 10.7.2, I tried to put it on my computer on the Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007) I tried everything to make it work. It just still shows with a Apple logo with the "beach circle" on it. Once i turn it on, I just know that the software went in but It does not show the screen about it.
    Please help if you can.
    I want this to work

    oo close. but no.
    Once you download the recovery disk assistant, doublt click it and it'll open up an installer. This installer will ask you where you want to install the RDAssistant. Make sure you choose your USB drive not your hard drive. Name the usb drive before doing this if it is unclear which is which.
    something like "MyUSBdrive" or "LionRecoveryA".
    And then proceed to install it on the usb.
    Once you have done that you will plug it into the computer that you can't get into and run the usb through that. To get to the usb recovery partition, you'll have to hold option down to get to the drive.
    if this doesn't work, go to an apple specialist (apple store) who can assist you directly.

  • I purchased my MacBook Pro in late 2007, just before Leopard was released.  I want to upgrade my memory and need to know if DDR2-667 SoDimm PC2-5300 is the correct type.

    I purchased my MacBook Pro in late 2007, just before Leopard was released.  I want to upgrade my memory and need to know if DDR2-667 SoDimm PC2-5300 is the correct type.

    If you have to wonder which RAM is the correct type, you probably aren't buying from a store that will give you the right RAM.  Many stores specify model and vintage of Mac on their website to ensure you get the right RAM.  Check my FAQ*:

  • Itunes is causing my Macbook Pro to freeze at shut down, any ideas?

    For a while I was confused as to why my brand new Macbook Pro was failing to shut down. I continued to use it, and each time I would shut my computer off it would freeze with a loading dial in the lower-middle part of the screen. Eventually I started to run one program at a time. I ran Safari (among other programs), and the computer shut down fine. I ran Itunes, and the computer failed to shut down. I have also realized that Microsoft Office causes my computer to freeze at shut down as well. I have run disk utility to check my hard-drive. Everything came out fine, so I know it is not a hardware problem. Something with the software of Microsoft Office and Itunes are not functioning properly... Anybody have any ideas?

  • Beer might have gone into MacBook Pro from the back, shut down on its own 5 minutes later. what to do?

    I'm currently working in Myanmar and no chance to going into a Mac service provider or store. I was using my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) when beer was spilled onto the table. I lifted the computer instantly and as i did not see liquid on the machine and also it had a protective cover i was sure no liquid got in. I removed the cover and it was dry but then 5 minutes later it shut down on its own and it would not turn back on or charge. I left it for an hour or so and then it turned back on and was charging but then since i thought that may be it was because some liquid got in, I turned it off again immediately and disconnected from power source.
    what is the best way to proceed knowing i won't be able to bring it in to a technician anytime soon?

    without on hand diagnostics, nobody can tell you the correct answer on that. No.
    5 minutes later it shut down on its own and it would not turn back on or charge.
    bad news
    Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
    After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
    The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
    Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
    After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
    There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
    Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
    In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
    In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
    contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.  

  • Black Macbook (Late 2006) shuts down unexpectedly when plugged in!

    I have been having trouble with my Macbook shutting down unexpectedly for the past two weeks and got it checked out and it turned out it was the battery that needed replacement. So I'm using it without the battery but connected to the Magsafe adapter while my new battery gets mailed to me but suddenly it shuts down anyways! What could it be?

    Hello Brine,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    According to the Apple support document below, just bumping the A/C adaptor could cause the Macbook to disconnect and shutdown. Are you positive that this isn't happening?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332?viewlocale=en_US
    Otherwise, you may just have to wait and see if the issue persists when the new battery arrives.

  • My MacBook Pro 15" won't shut down properly.

    I am in search of help cause no one seems to know what the problem is. I have a late 2008 unibody 2.4ghz 15" MacBook pro. everything works smoothly and fine the computer runs superb, but when I go to shut it down I get a gray screen and a pinwheel thing and it just keeps spinning. Ive left it doing this for about 8 hours so I know it's not an issue with time. I can only get it to shut down when i hold the power button which I don't like doing. Everything else is in full working order any suggestions?

    Sounds like you might need a SMC reset.
    I would also try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • MacBook Pro Mid-2010 Intermittent Shut-Down and Fuzzy Screen

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro Mid-2010 has been having some problems recently. Hope someone will be able to help me with this. Below are the symptoms that has been showing.
    Symptoms:
    1. Intermittent Shutdown
    2. Screen going fuzzy (when I give it a slight tap it will be fine but everything just hangs)
    3. 3 beep sound
    4. Can't start up (The sleep light will just stay on but nothing appears. I have to force shutdown and try starting it again.)
    I have recently done a clean install of Yosemite but the problem is still occuring.
    I also took it down to Singapore Apple Service Centre to try to get the problem fixed. But the initial tests shows that all the components in the Mac is working fine. I will need to pay for a full test as my Mac is out of warranty hence I did not send it in.
    Below is a copy of the recent log after it shut down by itself.
    Appreciate if someone can help me with this!
    Thank you!
    Regards,

    I just had the same problem! Just installed Mavericks a couple of days ago but everything was running perfectly till just a couple of minutes ago watching netflix and working on Dreamweaver my macbook just shutdown. I had to Turn it back on and in the first try it shutdown immediatelly again, then i tried for second time and as soon as i got back into my account a bunch of programs start sending erros as my clock was set to a different date. My battery seems to be fine, i even check the report in the system preferences, it had 50% of battery and was plugged in so i am guessing that is not the problem.
    Here the report:
    Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh):          3356
      Fully Charged:          No
      Charging:          Yes
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          6626
      Health Information:

      Condition:          Normal
    I had to have my motherboard replaced last year as my macbook its a 15 inch Mid 2010 so i took it to Mac Store.. they didnt charge me for anything as it is a problem that Apple acknowledge the problem was in their side. I am just hoping i dont have to deal with this again.

  • Why is my Macbook Pro suddenly and constantly shutting down/crashing on me and giving me a blacked out or blued out screen with lines?  Seems like a total system failure is happening?

    Macbook Pro- shortly after upgrading to free software upgrade to Mavericks- 10.9.5-
    has suddenly been freezing up, but went more directly to 'shutting down,'  CRASHING on its own.  Most of the time, if I'm even able to successfully get the laptop turned back on, it only stays up/on for a few moments before repeating the failure.   The failure is often accompanied with the monitor going 'blank,' or most typically either 'blacking out,' or going blue/green or grey screen with lines or grids all over the monitor.  All Desktop visibility, functions or applications in process disappears.  This has caused repetetive 'forced shut downs,' which I never usually do, unless prompted to because I have no choice like this.... Or as I said, the computer itself will just shut down and turn off by itself.... Can anyone tell me what this issue is, and I'm pretty sure other Mac users have seen this exact thing I'm describing happening on their laptops, with their systems or on their monitors.  Someone please explain or point me in the right direction... as naturally my laptop just went out of warranty as well.... And I don't know if this means the entire system is basically corrupted, dying/dead... and or if it is a monitor issue, a hardware issue, software issue or if there is anything that can be done to restore, repair it, etc.?   Also another thing I have noticed ever since getting this laptop- (few years old now...) is that it runs VERY HOT... has in fact burned my lap /skin many times... and seems like the fan or internal operating systems/functions are also perhaps not functioning properly.  Can this also be causing the problem?  Or is it a corruption or virus of some kind? etc.   Thank you.

    What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

  • Macbook pro restarts instead of shutting down. Just picked up from genius bar!

    Hello, I've just picked up my macbook pro from the genius bar, I had the airport card and dvd drive replaced and when I got home i noticed that when i press shut down the laptop restarts..any thoughts? Thanks in advance

    That is certainly frustrating, take it in and find another issue.  Have you tried an SMC reset to see if that helps?
    If that doesn't work, I would take it back and have them see what they did wrong, if they did anything wrong, becasue it should be working right after service.

  • MacBook Pro freezes after clicking 'Shut Down' and won't remember 9600M GT

    After choosing 'Shut Down' from the Apple menu my MacBook Pro (1998, 5,1 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) freezes and the Grey Screen of Death appears.
    Strangely this only happens when I'm using the lower-power GeForce 9400M graphics card. When I use the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card my MacBook Pro wil shut down normally.
    Ever since upgrading my system to Mac OS X 10.6.3 this problem occurs. But since then also other problems arose. After installing Safari 5 my MacBook didn't boot, and I had to zap the PRAM to get the system booting again. Since then my system won't save the 9600M GT setting in the Energy Saving panel. I can logout from the 9600M and login to the 9600M GT, but after a reboot it switches back to the 9600M card.
    Today I did a combo update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, but all the problems still occur. Also I did maintenance tasks with 'Cocktail' and 'Maintenance', but that didn't help either.
    Also sometimes after choosing the GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, OS X logs out and hangs in the blue screen instead of displaying the login screen.
    I hope someone can help me out with this!

    Unfortunately the problem reoccured, alltought less. The last weeks my MacBook froze two times.
    The report I send to Apple contains the following:
    ... Sat Jul 17 12:42:23 2010
    panic(cpu 1 caller 0x124fc5b): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-2.8.63/k ext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp:849
    Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)...
    Anyone a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks!
