Why is my MBP 13 mid 2010 not waking up and gets hot

My MBP 13" mid 2010 will get very hot and won't wake up after going to sleep. Have to restart using the power button.

plumber2014,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as you. Have you tried resetting its System Management Controller?

  • Crashs of MBP 13 mid-2010 (MC375LL/A)

    Hi,
    I am using a a MBP 13 mid-2010 (MC375LL/A) with the following characteristics
    MacBookPro 7,1
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz
    RAM: 8Gb (2x4Gb in replacement of the 2x2Gb)
    HDD: WD Blue 500Go 5400trs/min (in replacement of 320Go)
    GPU: Nvidia 320M 256Mo
    OSX: Maverick 10.9.1
    Use: office software applications + Multimedia + scientific computing and development (one raeson for changing the RAM)
    Since the middle of december 2013, the MBP crashes many times a day. It stops by many differents ways:
    - black, white, blue, orange or green screen and freezes (I need to hold power button to shutdown);
    - come back to logon screen;
    - reboot (black text on gray brackground screen);
    - screen with many multicolor lines;
    - just freeze (I need to hold power button to shutdown);
    These problems happen with battery (i need to change it (670 cycles)) but also with magsafe. When the MBP crashs, I am not doing special thing (sometimes just on website, sometimes on youtube watching video...) but it is very randomly.
    Sometimes I can obtain a Kernel Panic but sometimes not.
    You can find at the following link the last kernel panic I obtained http://goo.gl/mPR29q
    So I am looking for one solution to deal with this problem.
    Thank you in advance

    Sounds like you have the mid-2010 problem. There's an issue with the graphics module on that machine. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard within 3 years of purchase, but you're probably outside of that. Some folks have supposedly gotten theirs changed outside of that period, so you can try.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What you can do to use it is download gfxstatus from http:gfx.io and force the graphics to Intel.

  • TS4088 why is there a limit on 3 years? it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today :(

    Hey Clintonfrombirmingham
    I called Apple technical support in Denmark, but with no positive reply.
    She couldn't do anything, and said that They had sent a recall Email about the problem and with their offer to repair the Macbook Pro, but I'd never recieved an Email about the problem. She wasn't in power to make an exception. It can't be true that i paid a lot of money, for a product that can't barely stand on its own feets, Apple didn't tell me that the product I was about to buy, would restart every 5 minute. and now when  they know the problem, they wont repair it? it just don't make sense for me. If a car seller discovers that all the brakes in a car he had sold, will crash after some years he will call all the cars back to repair no mater what. i just don't understand how Apple will make good service for their custumers, by extending the warranty from 2 to 3 years, but wont take the computers there is a little bit to old, 4 months will make the difference. i can't believe it.
    What can i do now? 
    best regards Oskar

    Back again to mini display to hdmi cable.
    could you help me????

    It is stated that mirroring requires recent hardware (2011 or later)

    However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

  • Why Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 does not support Arabic and persian?

    Why Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 does not support Arabic and persian

    For Arabic/Persian on  a Mac, the best app is Mellel.  But TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

  • My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

    My Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not write DVDs and gets error code 0x80020022, what is wrong?

    That code is not really useful since it just means it can't write DVD's (or probably CD's).  The only thing you can do is first to try a different brand of DVD's, higher quality.  You could also try burning at a slower speed.
    Based on the fact that you are using an OSX that's no long supported, there's probably not much you can do to correct this issue if it is software related.  You may also have a failing Super Drive, another consequence of an older Mac.

  • My wireless mouse for my iMac keeps loosing connection. Started after I was having problems with computor not waking up and I put the the setting to "never". Anyone having same problem?

    My wireless mouse for imac keeps loosing connection. Started after I was having truoble with computor not waking up and I put the setting to "never sleep". Any suggestions?

    If it's an Apple mouse, make it "Favorite" in Bluetooth preferences.
    If it's not, the same thing might help, too, but if the problem continues it could be a driver issue (possible incompatibility with your OS X version).

  • MBP 17" mid 2010 Snow Leopard Native: why not possible to install Snow Leopard in some new Hard disk?It appears "impossibile 'cause you have Mac OS X" 23.1.1."

    Guys, I want to install SL in some hard disk. It's the native OS, the one came with the MBP. But after having installed Lion, my MBP doesn't allow me to install from the original dvd of Snow Leopard, telling me "impossible because you have Mac OS X” 23.1.1. istaller".
    Someone can help me?

    hey thank you for your answers. I've written that I want to install snow leopard in a new hard disk, not over the lion. In other words, I want a hard disk with the faster snow leopard, that was the native OSX of my MBP mid 2010. But using the last procedure you suggested me, the dvd doesn't appear. I repeat, there's something changed in the firmware that blocks snow leopard.
    the comunication that appears when I insert the original dvd of SL is something like "impossible to install snow leopard because you have Mac OS X” 23.1.1. istaller".

  • Why does my Mac book pro Mid 2010 Not air Play?

    Why does my Mac book Pro, Mid 2010 Model Not air play with the new Mountain Lion?

    davenug,
    given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c.

  • Keyboard backlight not working on MBP 13in Mid-2010

    The backlight on my keyboard is no longer working. When my backlight 1st stopped working it allowed me to toggle the brightness level to no results (I even tired lab kit.) After I resetmy PRAM and SMC I couldn't even try to toggle the brightness. The illumination settings in System Preferences disappeared as well. Is there anyway to fix this without having to bring my computer into the Apple Store? I use this machine for both work and school and cannot be without it for a few days. I am currently running Lion.

    Are you under warranty? If so, call Apple and report the problem and get a case number. If your warranty is about to run out, it is important to get a case number to document that the problem first occurred under warranty so that Apple can eventually fix it under warranty.
    You have already tried the usual cures--resetting the SMC and checking your settings for the keyboard. If LabTick also does not work, then you likely have a hardware problem of some sort.
    It might be worth a trip to the genius bar to have them take a look at it and maybe run their hardware test, just to get a diagnosis and repair estimate. You can also ask how long the repair will take and see if there is any possibility of having  it repaired while you wait. Once you know what's wrong and what it might take to fix it, you can delay the actual repair until a time that is more convenient to you.
    Right now there's no way to tell what's wrong--it may even be something as simple as a cable that needs to be reseated. If so, it should not take long to fix.
    Good luck!

  • MBP, 15", mid-2010, Yosemite, is sluggish!

    Hello,
    I have read the post below this one "MacBook suddenly started running slow" posted by "stephjonas", and have completed the first step given by Linc as follows....  (also, I checked my battery cycle count which is 262 out of a maximum of 1,000)
                   "First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
                   Step 1
                   This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself,                solve your problem.
                   If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web                browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
                   Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
                   Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
                   Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
                   ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
                   ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that                opens.
                   ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
                   Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
                   The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
                   A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the                TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit                window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that."
    I completed this step and the anonymized results are as follows:

    WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NEXT?  Thank you all in advance...

    "Hacked" is not my terminology, and I don't believe it's intended to be derogatory. What you describe is a perfectly legitimate reason to alter Hosts.
    If your Mac still isn't working as expected after uninstalling Intego and Trend Micro, read on. The necessity to have a reliable backup cannot be overstated, since what you describe may be an indication of impending disk failure.
    Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to to that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    If your Mac is momentarily unresponsive, consider the following.
    Launch the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder. You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu. Select Show Toolbar if it is not already shown.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.
    To do that click the Clear Display button in the Toolbar. All previously displayed log entries will be disappear.
    Next: Perform whatever actions cause the Mac to exhibit the slow behavior. If the problem is caused by errors logged by the system, the Console window will show them being recorded in system.log.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the problem you describe.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. If hundreds of the same repetitive messages appear, please edit them before posting. There should be no need for more than a few log entries.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro mid 2010 sound a SOS signal on start-up?

    Since last month our MBP mid 2010 started to have boot issues. Sometimes it boots fine 10 times, other times it will take time and patience before you get through the SOS signals. After it is finally started, it will work perfectly and also putting it to sleep gives no problems. Only when you restart or shutdown the machine and start again it might fail, but it is random.
    We have been to Apple Store Amsterdam, but according to their tests, the memory was fine. Also the RAM was reseated and other RAM was used, but the problem persists. This rules out a faulty memory I think. What we didn't do is only use one of the two slots, since I am not sure the system will run normally then.
    I am afraid this is a logic board issue if I am not mistaken, but (of course) I hope it can also be something else. Are there any other tests that we could do?

    Hey Alomolife,
    I also still have no clue. At this point I notice that the MBP gets very cold over night and it does not start. If I heat it up by using a hairdryer or the oven, it will start up. So basically I can only restart it when I have tropical temperatures in the house.. Maybe the mechanical part of the hard drive does not work properly in the cold. This way of working is of course not something I would like to keep doing. How did you get your machine started again?

  • Mbp 13 mid 2010 freezes

    hi all my mbp 13" late 2010 freezes I have to press the power button to get working again

    I just got my mid 2010 Macbook Pro back from Apple for the second repair in two weeks (first they replaced the logic board and then they replaced the harddrive). I was having the computer freezes like you described and having to do a hard restart to unfreeze. I took it into the Apple Store for help. The Apple Genius ran some test and found my logic board needed to be replaced. Thank goodness for Apple Care, because without it the cost of the repair was over $500. Now my screen no longer freezes in sleep; however, I started having kernel panics moments after starting the computer. I took the computer back to the Apple Store 3 days after getting it back from the first repair. The Apple Genius duplicated the issue in the store and sent my Macbook Pro out for repairs. It came back a week later with a new hardrive.I am still experiencing kernel panics, which is weird because before the logicboard repair this never happened; however, not immediately after restarting the computer once the hard drive was replaced.
