Re: [Avid-L2] Dead MacBook Pro

 

I don't know if this is the same thing but I had an issue with an old i7 Macbook Pro that would die without mains power, and would only work for about 10mins even with mains power (and the light showed green on the power connector).

Turned out to be a known issue with the graphics card and short of replacing it, the workaround was to install gfxcardstatus (https://gfx.io) and tell the Mac to only ever use the internal card.

However this obviously requires you to be fully booted up for a few minutes at least otherwise you can't install it.

Last night my MacBook Pro decided not to play anymore.

It tries to boot with the external power connected, but only comes to
about 25%, then it shuts down.
If no external power is present, it does nothing at all.
(When I disconnect the external power, it immediately shuts down.)

Battery was still good for hours of use before. The LED on the power
connector is green, indicating battery is full.

I've tried resetting pRam and all the other stuff, but nothing seems to
work.

Options?

thx
