Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" shuts down repeatedly

[dojjan]

Hello guys,

Received the following error report after my laptop shut down (as it does whenever it feels like it) and thought maybe someone knew what to do.
Recently rebooted whole computer and re-installed Yosemite because of this problem, hoping to get rid of it, and have also tried a suggested fix for someone who had the same problem, which entailed adding and then removing a file in Spotlights integrity protection, with a restart in between.
That seemed to work for a while, and I congratulated myself on not having a breakdown several times per day, but now it has returned, only a couple weeks later. Also, it shuts down, and then during startup it usually restarts again before having finalized startup.
(Had problems with photo booth, in case that could be a clue of any kind.)

Really appreciate help on this as it's old and would probably be stupidly expensive to get fixed, compared to just getting a new one.


Anyhoo, the report:

The clue is the entry:

Looks like a hardware GPU problem.

 

[DeltaMac]

Have you tried running your hardware test?
If your hard drive is original, then you should be able to boot to that test by restarting while holding the "D".
If that doesn't work, find your original DVD, likely the disk #2 with applications and other software. Again, with that DVD in the drive, restart holding the D
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257

Run both the standard and extended tests.
Post back with any error codes that appear.

 

[dojjan]

Thanks for your speedy replies!
The harddrive is not original, but I'll try what you mentioned with the DVD for apps and software. Will post again after.

Time to go to the Apple Store

Sorry to hear about your problems. It sounds exactly like what I experienced. It's likely the "macbook pro logic board soldering issue." You can do a search here for "2010 Macbook pro lawsuit" for more information. It was dismissed within the last month. Google can get you to an Apple Support page (which is updated when the Apple 3 year coverage expired.)

The Apple Genius plugged my machine into their server, and within 5 seconds a big red box appeared with "logic board failure." I tried to negotiate a reduced or free fix to no avail.

Evidently the issue is due to Apple going green. They switched from lead solder to an environmentally friendly one. And, it fails regularly.

I paid the fee to have mine fixed. It was a little less than 10% of the cost of what I would want to buy new (and I like my matte screen.) They completely refurbished the machine, and it does look like new including a screen polishing.

Hands up this was disappointing. It's the first hardware failure I've ever had with a mac.

 

[dojjan]

An-other, thanks for your reply.
Did you have the same issue as me with sudden re-start? I'm asking because when I read about the Logic Board Problem (as is mentioned here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2675881?start=0&tstart=0) they all talk about their computer not turning on after sleep mode and such. Or that it goes to sleep on its own and then doesn't wake up.
Mine always starts right up again, after the unwanted re-start.

If it's still the same problem with the Logic Board I guess I'll just hope that our Swedish Apple Repair is as cheap (or cheaper) than the one you used. The 10% you mentioned for getting a MBP functional again sounds like a bargain to me, and I'm not eager to discard old and buy new unless there's no other way around it.
But after reading all the posts on the Apple Support forums, my previous great faith in Apple is not what it used to be, no matter what happens to my particular laptop.

Btw, did the startup with applications-disc inside, and ran the extended hardware test. No problems found.

Maybe I'll call Apple and see what they think it is and if they might be able to give me a rough estimate.

 

[dojjan]

Perhaps a little too soon to say, but my computer hasn't restarted by itself since I did the test.
Fingers crossed that the unlikely solution laid in simply running the test!

(Update otherwise)

 

[dojjan]

And there it was.

You might see some different results with the hardware test, if you try running that as soon as you can after a crash.

The first guesses are, unfortunately, still very likely about graphics chip problems.

 

[Xeridionix]

That is most definitely a failure of the GPU. I had the same issue a few years ago with my 15" MacBook Pro of the same vintage and the only way to resolve it was to have Apple replace the logic board.

Since the extended warranty program for this issue has expired however, if you don't want to pay for another logic board you could use a third-party tool such as gfxCardStatus to lock the system so that it uses the integrated GPU instead which should at least run stable for day-to-day use. The only downside to this is that you will lose graphics performance (but what does it matter when the system won't stay running long enough to do anything productive?) and you won't be able to drive an external display. If those aren't an issue for you then it's a viable workaround to your issue.

Best of luck and have a great day.
