Hey folks,
I've been facing some funny thing happen with my laptop (model at the end) since I bought it last winter and I wanted to ask for help if anyone has any ideas or experienced anything similar.
My computer goes through the cycle:
1) In the middle of working on it, it starts having this cursor as if it's loading something
2) It is intact, I can open and close apps, but apps are not interactive, doesn't react to power button at all
3) I let it sit and it shuts off itself
4) It starts heating up without being turned on (I have no idea wtf is this and how it works), fans are obviously not spinning too.
5) I cool it down with something cold and when the battery is dead it stops responding. When I plug in the charging cable, LED doesn't light up. Button on the side, that should show the charge is also unresponsive
6) Funny thing is that after I let it sit (normally not too long, but once I had to wait for couple of months) it tuns on and works as if nothing happened.
Additionally, sometimes when I open it after sleep, it takes 10-15 seconds to figure out it has waken up.
UPD: it turned on and I get the error report for the first time (see attach)
I don't think this is the problem with overheating, normally fan works fine. I don't think this is the problem with the battery, normally it works ok.
Model:
MD102LL/A, A1278 (EMC 2554*)
MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.9 13" Mid-2012, 2.9 GHz Core i7 (I7-3520M), 8GB RAM, 750 GB HDD
I put 500 GB SSD disk at the memory slot and put original HDD instead of the DVD-rom.
I don't know the history of this computer before it got to me, but it had not stock hard drive.
It's not a great feeling to be unsure if it will suddenly turn off or I will need to cool it down, so if anyone has any thoughts on how to fix this, I would highly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time!
