Hi,

Whenever I restart the Mac when it is connected to an external display and in clamshell mode, it ****s up, massively. I restarted it a few hours ago and forgot about it, I come back and there's the following:

a) The backlit Apple logo is on. In clamshell.
b) The MacBook is ****ing hot as ****. Like so hot.
c) Everything is slow when I open the lid
d) It refused to appear on the external display
e) It says there is no battery and the power source is the power supply... when there is nothing connected to it

It took more than a restart to fix this.

Running 10.10.4 but it has been like this since 10.10.0

It happens to me too and it's even worse in bootcamp.

I just tried the update that says it fixes things w/ external monitors. I'll let you know if it fixed mine.

I had this issue until 10.10.3. Did a fresh install on that update and the issue went away. None of your other issues other than Thunderbolt connectors get hot -- normal.
