Tool Tech Video ram says failed ....hardware test shows fan problems...in reference to error 4MOT/1/0000003:HDD
Anyone else experience this...and how is the fan a problems via hardware test but tool tech shows video ram failed?
Any feedback is appreciated.Computer only 6 weeks old.......:-(

My computer listed as having failed the VRAM test as well, but when I installed the Tech Tool software, it gave me the warning that the results of the test were not yet reliable for 10.5 and it might not test correctly. I've had none of the problems the the VRAM failure listed, and assume it's just an issue with the new OS and Tech Tool not being on the same page yet. PS: I love my Mac...but don't we all?

MacBook Pro will not boot up. Hardware test found no problems.

MacBook Pro will not boot up. Hardware test found no problems.

Sorry. What I mean is I selected the SL boot up in the start up panel and it would not boot into the cd. The CD rom sounds like it just keeps reading with it slowly loading from grey screen to blue screen to the Block screen. Almost like it is booting into normal mode from the hard drive.
What I can't understand is why it runs fine is Safe mode?
Also why do I get a " this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" message on my hard drive when trying to install Lion in safe mode? Well why not it's the only hard drive in the computer?
The first screen shot is the Tech tool showing everything passed the hardware test is safe mode.

V Ram failing Hardware test with error 2NVD/1/4:2122

Hello,
I have been using my Mac now for just over a year now, it was a wonderful birthday present last October. I have had zero problems until now.
Red wavey lines started to appear on the screen on and off for 2 - 3 minutes and then the Mac asked me to restart, after restarting the wavey red lines were constantly on the screen but it would not get to the login screen. I ran a hardware test which when reaching VRAM told me the above error code.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed at all? or had a simelar problem?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm sort of in the same situation as you. Purchased my powerbook last july. Has worked like a charm until the last few weeks. My mac suddenly froze while playing Warcraft 3. After shutting it down, and rebooting it, i would get this message telling me that i had to restart my computer (from what i found out, that message was kernel panic). I've also had all these little lines on my screen, and while i couldnt get to my login screen under a normal boot, i could safe boot it. I've tried everything i could think of, from doing a disk utility repair, up to re-installing OSX. I finally took it in to an apple service center, and that's what it was. The VRAM failed the hardware test. The only cure is to replace the logic board... which means 750$(Canadian) + Labor + taxes. he said it would probably be around 900-1000$ to fix it. Now, considering this powerbook is worth about that amount of money on ebay, (in working condition), i am very dissapointed as my warranty expired about 2 months ago.
Tough luck mate.

so, I have done re-install from the OSX disk - the first time it failed. I think because I selected the option to keep the user profiles/settings etc, may have been a conflict between vers on OSX CD and vers on HDD? I don't know.
No, it can do that. There are clearly other issues.
anyway an error came back saying the disk was corrupt
The install disc or the HD?
now I thought that sorted it. but after doing the updates. and then going to repair the disk permissions/repair the disk it came back with same error. and also the hardware test is still failing.
The system will never be stable until the HD directory is repaired.
- is the version of the hardware tester I have not compatible with the OS or the firmware i have upgraded to? or does the tester just check the integrity of the hardware regardless of firmware & os vers.
If this is the AHT disc that shipped with your MBP, it is fine, regardless of what OS you have installed.
I really would prefer to not start from scratch again. But could this be an user account problem?
No.
I'll set up a new usr acct and use that for a while. just a pain to bring the files over from my current usr acct to the new one.
I believe that's a waste of your time. As has already been stated, at least one of the issues is the damaged HD directory. Until/unless that is repaired, what you install on the HD isn't going to work correctly, if at all. The big question is, is some other part of the hardware causing the directory damage, or did the directory take a freak "hit" and repairing it will resolve things? It's quite possible that bad RAM or the logic board could have caused the directory damage. You're either going to have to bring it in to an Apple Store "genius" bar and see how much they'll test for free, or do some things yourself. For things you can do yourself, apart from trying one RAM module at a time, and running Repair Disk repeatedly (I don't think that's going to do it), you're going to need to either get your hands on Disk Warrior (or comparable utility), or a different HD, or try the HD in an external enclosure, or get your hands on some different RAM to try.

Massive stability issues - Disk Utility repair failed, hardware test failed

Hi,
I am having massive stability issues. The installer will not install anything, programs are quitting randomly, and it is getting very annoying!
I read through a lot of posts and I have attempted to:
Repair my disk using the install cd: but that failed.
I did a Hardware test: but i had an error relating to fonts (?), couldn't see anything on the screen and I couldn't do anything.
Is there something else I could do that I haven't tried?
I have had my PB for a little over a year and have had no issues like this before. All of these issues seemed to start when I was playing a game and it suddenly just quit; I then couldn't go back into the game or re-install the game.
Help!!

Hi, Dan.
You wrote: "Repair my disk using the install cd: but that failed."That's a big problem. You won't get very far until the problems noted by Repair Disk, the function I presume you ran based on your description, are sorted out. It's possible the hard drive has failed.
If the Apple Hardware Test failed, that's another significant problem. If it produces messages you can read that describe the failure, write them down. The machine may need to be serviced by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
As to your next steps, first run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified to see what's up with your disk and if anything can be done to correct that.
Good luck!

Apple Hardware Test : mother board problem : post/16/64

I'm having this problem since last month. My computer won't boot properly, aligning lines and lines on the screen saying there's a problem with cpu 1 or cpu 0. I reset all Xram I could find, reset the PMU, changed the battery...
Finally, I used Apple Hardware Test that gave me this message : post/16/64 on mother board at startup. Then, when I run the tests, everything's OK !
I manage to boot from time to time with 10.4.7 only, other installed systems won't do it.
Would anybody have a clue about this ?
Thanks for reading me.
My computer is 4 years old, it worked well until then, I want it back, fully fitted.
I have screen shots that I can share if needed.
BTW : the sun is shing here in Paris, France at the moment, which soothes my heart a little...

Hi,
I have some good news for you all : I finally decided to open my machine and see what's inside...
I took a small paint brush, a screwdriver, a pressurized air bomb (hope you call it this way) and cleaned all the inside. I had some parts taken off, even the big thing that gets heat from the processors. My brother, who knows more than I do about the subject even advised me to unplug the processors, supposedly connected on a ZIF card (Zero Insertion Force card). I didn't manage to make them move at all. I took memory bars away, the video card too, to make place for the screwdriver to unlock the (radiator ?). Then I brushed all the dirt away, there was plenty, and put everything back inside.
It works fine, it really does. So, I guess and hope this will last for an other 4 years.
Thanks for the help.
Jacques.

No hardware test among over problems

My airport card disappeared a few months ago after an update and i haven't been able to discover why the computer doesn't reconise it.
I was told to use the Hardware test function but alas that won't work at all. If i hold my finger down on the option key it starts up normally but if i hold down C it seems to boot from the Disc like it is supposed to. I am totally perplexed why it ignores that too.
Any suggestions to how i can get my airport card running again and maybe an alternative way to sort my Hardware test out.

Which airport card do you have? Is it the one that is under the keyboard, or is it the one that is attached to the logic board?
As for the Apple Hardware Test, you have to boot off of the disc which contains the AHT, which is one of the original discs that came with your computer. Are you inserting the disc and booting from it, or are you just trying to start up by holding down "C"? Sorry, but it wasn't entirely clear to me just what you were doing that didn't work.
If your AHT disc isn't working, you can download the AHT and burn a new disc and try that.

Post back with the AHT results and which airport card you have and we can take it from there.
Good luck!

2008 iMac running beautifully untill recently. Screen glitches and freezing. Apple Hardware test showed error code 4MOT/2/40000004:ADD and I have not seen others with this code. Guessing it is a fan issue based on the ODD and HDD error codes

computer felt hot and while running apple hardware test the screen glitches covered the screen and it froze. Now computer wont boot up. Again AHT code is 4MOT/2/40000004:ADD and I have just seen ODD and HDD codes discussed on other threads.Those were hardrive or superdrive fans, so I am guessing this is a fan issue and then it fried by graphics card. Any help as to whether this is game over or worth repairing would be very appreciated.

You need to take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for a professional evaluation. Apple does not publish the codes from AHT, you can Google the code you got and see if you can determine what it means however the best method is to let a pro handle it.

Hi,
Your notebook is listed as coming with a 500Gb Hard Drive, but you can just as easily install a 750Gb HDD if you want a bit more space - the drives on the following links are examples that would be fine for your notebook.
500Gb Hard Drive
750Gb Hard Drive.
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 53 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive - this procedure is described in the HP document Here.
If you don't have your Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

Freezing Macbook Pro. Graphical glitches and occasional 3 tones on start up. Hardware test shows no errors. Is it RAM or a graphics card on the way out, or software?

Recently my MacBook Pro has been freezing and showing bad graphical glitches. Multiple restarts eventually fix it and a couple of times the three tones break, three tones break warning has occurred on start up. From what I can find this is usually a RAM error but after doing a hardware check I get the response all is OK. This still happens after the check and I am unsure what the problem could be. Can anyone help? Could it be a memory issue, a hard drive issue, Graphics card issue (drivers are up to date) or is something up with the software. I also have a Bootcamp partition running Windows 7 too and this is a problem that presents itself there too.

Most likely to be RAM:
Beeps on startup:
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images.
5 beeps = processor is not usable

I would suggest you take it to an Apple Store for a free diagnostic.
