can you mbp turn itself on or off??

[vmachiel]

Ok so weird things are happening. Last week, I installed a SSD in my 2010 mbp. Ever since then my laptop has been acting strange. 2 days ago i put it on standby by closing it and when i got back 2 hours later it turned off. Then yesterday I shut it down to go to bed, and i remove the magsafe. (the battery was full). I just turned it on again, and now I have 80% battery??

Can someone tell me what is going on?
Thank you

Sleeping uses some battery power. Roughly 1-2% per hour.

Indeed, but it sounds like the OP is losing more than that. It sounds like his MBP is waking up from a sleeping state while the lid is closed.

Do you have any peripherals or anything connected via USB or anything? Perhaps an iPod/iOS device? I know that will wake a sleeping Mac, even with the lid closed.

I believe if you have enabled schedule it will automatically turn computer on. It could be that it is turning on if your schedule is set to a specific time and then turning off due to energy saver configuration (idle for a specific time).

Edit: do you have it connected to ethernet? Maybe someone you know is using WOL. I have had this before.

nothing was connected, only wifi was on. How do i check if there is a wake up schedule?

If more than around 1% per hour of battery charge is being consumed during sleep, it's possible your MBP didn't stay in sleep mode the entire time.

WiFi will turn off when the lid is closed. How did you defeat that?
Which OSX are you running?
