The apple hardware functional test does not run. Preventing your Macintosh computer and its operating system
As you know, Apple pays a lot of attention to the organization of maintenance and repair of their devices ... while they are under warranty. If the warranty period for your MacBook has expired, then its repair can result in a serious amount. You may be asked for several hundred dollars for some trifling problem.
Therefore, let's deal with those problems that we can fix on our own. Here I have collected all important information DIY MacBook repair. It will also come in handy for desktop users. Mac computers.
Before you start: backup
If your MacBook has started to work with problems and you are going to deal with them, then before proceeding to take action, create backup all important information.
I hope you already know how to use Time Machine. Use this utility to create a copy of your Mac on external storage or online storage. Great, let's start troubleshooting the MacBook and fixing them.
1. Download updates and check for viruses
In the first step, make sure that your computer has current versions software. Download the latest updates operating system, applications, firmware components ... absolutely everything. Run App Store and go to the "Updates" section. If for some software product update is ready - install it.
If you installed some programs not through the App Store, then launch each of them separately and check if they are ready to be updated.
After updating the programs, run an antivirus scan (after updating your antivirus) to make sure that there are no viruses or other malware that could be the source of problems with your computer. You can also use a program to find and remove adware, such as Adware Mdic. Just don't use MacKeeper for this.
Many users still live in the dark and believe that viruses do not threaten Macs. But the situation has changed a long time ago, and unwanted programs that display ads can easily get into your system.
After updating and checking for viruses, restart your computer. It is possible that it will work without problems.
2. MacBook Diagnostics
If the problem persists with the Mac, then you need to find out its source. First, you should decide on the category of the problem: software or hardware. To check the hardware, you need to run Apple Diagnostics (or Apple Hardware Test, depending on the age of your computer). To do this, we use the following algorithm:
- Turn off your MacBook and disconnect all peripherals from it (except network adapter, mouse, keyboard, and Ethernet connector).
- Hold down the D key until the Apple Diagnostics starts loading.
- Select a language and press the "Enter" button.
- If your Mac was released earlier than 2013, then select “Perform extended testing” and click “Test”.
The procedure for diagnosing the hardware stuffing of the computer will begin. It may take a while - be patient. At the end of the diagnostics, a table will appear on the screen with information about the problems found with the hardware. Write it all down somewhere and restart your computer.
Using the built-in Disk Utility in OS X, you can find a number of problems related to file system, especially if they are related to permissions.
If these diagnostic tools did not find anything, then you will have to use an alternative method. Check out “Troubleshooting in Mac OS X” - in this document, Apple has collected practical tips to help you find the source of problems with your computer. Having found it, you may yourself understand the further strategy for repairing the MacBook or you will have to look for relevant information on thematic forums.
If you still don't know how to return full functionality to your Mac, read on.
3. Problem programs
Let's start with the easier one. As a rule, problems with software are solved cheaper and faster.
Fixing access rights
Incorrect access rights often create hard-to-explain problems. Correcting them in many cases allows you to quickly solve seemingly incredibly complex problems. Launch Disk Utility (Applications –> Others) and click the “Check Permissions” button.
The utility will almost certainly find several objects, the access rights to which it will advise you to fix. After it completes its work, click the "Fix permissions" button. If the list of fixes is large enough, this procedure will take several minutes. You can relax and have a cup of coffee for now.
Reset PRAM and SMC
Random Access Memory (PRAM) and System Management Controller (SMC) are responsible for many important things in your Mac. To reset PRAM, do the following:
- Turn off your computer.
- Press the computer's power button.
- Until the gray screen appears, press the Command, Option, P, and R buttons simultaneously.
- Hold down these buttons until you hear the computer boot up sound again.
- Now release the buttons.
Resetting the SMC depends on the type of computer you are using. On a MacBook with a removable battery:
- Turn off your computer.
- Disconnect the power adapter.
- Remove the battery.
- Press and hold the power button for five seconds.
- Insert the battery back.
- Turn on your computer.
On a MacBook with a non-removable battery:
- Turn off your computer.
- Plug in the AC adapter.
- On the built-in keyboard, simultaneously press the Shift, Control, and Option buttons on the left and the power button.
- Release Shift, Control and Option at the same time.
- Turn on your computer.
On Mac Pro, iMac with Intel processor, Mac Mini with Intel or Xserve on Intel:
- Turn off your computer.
- Disconnect the power cord.
- Wait fifteen seconds.
- Plug in the power cord.
- Turn on your computer.
Removing problematic programs
If you still haven't made your MacBook work properly and you suspect a particular program is causing problems, then try uninstalling it and see if the computer works better after that. If this is exactly what happened, try installing this program again. Sometimes that's all it takes to repair a MacBook. If problems persist, then try a few more things.
Reinstall OS X
We are moving to drastic measures. Sometimes a serious problem occurs in the operating system, which can only be fixed by reinstalling. That's why you backed up your Mac at the beginning of the article.
If you have OS X Yosemite installed (after all, you have already updated your Mac), then proceed as follows:
- Restart your MacBook.
- When you see a gray screen press and hold Command + R.
- Options should appear, among which select “Install OS X” (Install OS X).
- Follow the instructions on the screen.
- The operating system will be reinstalled. See if the problem is gone.
4. Hardware issues
If your MacBook has a hardware problem and you want to fix it yourself, you will have to use online resources filled with useful information. Apple information Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test should be the starting point (of course, if this utility is launched and the computer display is working). Sometimes diagnosing problems in hardware can be very difficult and will require professional skills and tools.
We collect information
Before proceeding with the repair of MacBook hardware, you should prepare well and assemble necessary information. There are quite a few resources on the Internet about repairing Macs. I recommend starting with iFixIt, Instructables and YouTube. Before disassembling your MacBook case, read or review the instructions carefully to make sure you have everything you need.
MacBook repair tools
Unfortunately, to repair Apple laptops, you will need tools that are not included in a traditional home kit. In the iFixIt online store and in local hardware markets, you can find almost everything you need: ingenious screwdrivers, soldering tools and special kits.
You can also search for the right repair tools on Amazon and eBay. In the latter case, the prices may pleasantly surprise you (only the delivery will most likely cost a pretty penny). Used tools are unlikely to lose their functionality after repairing one or two computers.
Where to get spare parts
On eBay you can find not only tools, but also spare parts for MacBooks, from motherboards to displays. You can also buy a broken Mac at a low price, in which we will find many working parts for repair. iFixIt also sells Mac parts.
Before buying a hundred times check that this is exactly the part that you need. Protect yourself from incompatibility issues. If you're not sure what the exact name of a given part is, on your MacBook go to the Apple Menu (on the left upper corner screen) –> About This Mac –> System Report and find the description of the desired component there (of course, if the computer turns on).
For business!
If you know what needs to be done, prepared the tools and the necessary spare parts, then it's time to start repairing your MacBook. Read the necessary instructions. Protect yourself from possible shock electric shock and get started.
Stock up on patience. Repair modern computer- a very delicate occupation, there are many small and fragile parts, and some of them can be irreparably damaged by a discharge of static electricity. Be extremely careful when working with the battery and microcircuits.
Or maybe a service center?
Repairing a MacBook takes time, patience, and sometimes decent money - but it turns out to return the computer to working capacity and an increase in self-esteem.
I recommend taking on serious repairs only if you like to delve into the stuffing. electronic devices. Having solved serious hardware problems with Macs several times, you will move to the favorites group.
But for most of us, major Mac repairs should be left to a trained professional. You can try to take the relevant courses yourself. But they are unlikely to seem simple to you. Therefore, most users entrust the repair of their MacBook to professionals. Yes, you will give more money but get expert help.
In what situation are you ready to repair your computer yourself? And when would you prefer to entrust its repair to a qualified person? Share your opinion in the comments.
If you start noticing malfunctions in your Mac (for example, it began to freeze or reboot on its own), the first thing to do is to identify the cause of the malfunction.
In this case, you can immediately take the laptop to service center Apple, if, of course, it is nearby, or try to deal with the trouble yourself. Let's take a look at how to test a Mac at home.
Built-in Mac Diagnostics
Faults that may occur in Mac work can be divided into two groups:
- software - due to improper installation of the OS or additional software;
- hardware - consist in the failure of a certain laptop module (HDD, video cards, RAM, etc.).
To fix a software failure, you just need to uninstall the software that led to it, or reinstall the system. Hardware problems, on the other hand, require a more rigorous approach, consisting in repairing or replacing a non-working item.
To identify hardware damage, Apple has equipped its computers with built-in diagnostic tools. Notebooks manufactured prior to June 2013 can be tested using the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) utility. On later Macs, this app is called Apple Diagnostics. There is no fundamental difference between these programs, since they start and work the same way. The only thing to consider is Apple use Diagnostics requires you to connect your PC to the Internet via wireless network or Ethernet.
Mac Testing with AHT or Apple Diagnostics
Before starting Mac diagnostics, you need to disconnect all peripherals from the laptop (speakers, webcam, printer, etc.), except for the optical manipulator, keyboard, and network adapter. It will not be superfluous to connect a power source.
The next steps will be:
The duration of the test depends on the configuration of the MacBook and averages 2-3 minutes. The results of Mac diagnostics can be seen in the corresponding window.
Error codes
If the Mac diagnostic program detects problems with the laptop hardware, then you will see an error code, the reasons that caused it, and possible solutions. The decoding of the received code can be found on the Internet in Russian at the link.
If the damage is serious and you can’t get rid of it yourself, you should contact the nearest Apple service center. At the same time, you should not trust the MacBook to ordinary repair shops, albeit reliable ones, because the repair of Apple equipment requires a specific approach and the master has special skills.
If your MacBook is under warranty, you will need to contact Apple Support online and report the error code. After that, the company's specialists will inform you how to proceed further and whether you need to contact the service center.
Not all Mac owners are aware of the presence of a hardware test built into the system.
The diagnostic tool allows you to identify problems with the drive, RAM, video card or motherboard without a visit to the service center.
Which Macs have this utility
On Macs that were released before mid-2013, the diagnostic tool was called "Functional Test of Apple Hardware" (Apple Hardware Test).
Since mid 2013 Apple Hardware Test changed to Apple Diagnostics, the utility requires a network connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
When it's needed
If the Mac began to glitch for no reason, freeze, think for a long time without much load, get very warm, or simply won’t turn on, you should conduct this test.
Checking the hardware will be useful if there is any suspicion of mechanical failure, for example, after the computer has been dropped or after the device has become wet.
How to run hardware diagnostics
Make sure your computer is within range of a familiar WiFi networks or connected by cable. If you are using a laptop, connect it to the charger.
To run Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics:
1. Turn on / restart the Mac, while turning it on, hold down the button D on keyboard.
2. Select the required language for the utility.
3. Wait for the utility to finish working (usually the process takes several minutes).
In the report, you will see the error code (if any) and a brief description.
How to understand what the problem is
Error code “ADP000” indicates no problem. You can restart your computer and work normally. Other codes indicate a hardware problem.
The decoding of all codes and subsequent actions are described in detail on the Apple website.
Why is all this necessary
Attentive readers will notice that in most cases it is still recommended to visit a service center to solve the problem, and no one wants to poke around in an expensive Mac on their own.
Why, then, bother with diagnostics and determine the cause of the malfunction?
Firstly, problems may occur after upgrading at home. For example, I installed a bar of RAM, and it broke. There is no need to go to the service: I pulled out the memory, changed it to another one.
Secondly, if some old port or connector is broken, you can simply not use it. For example, a failed Thunderbolt may require a replacement motherboard, which is a fairly expensive repair. An old Mac user would rather find alternative way connections.
Thirdly, when going to the service center, you will be armed with the information of this test. So that repairmen do not try to tear off money for expensive repairs, it is better to know the cause of the breakdown.
⭐ Thanks to re:Store for the useful information.
Rate.
The easiest way to avoid the help of service centers when looking for hardware problems (not all of them have a good reputation) is to use the built-in Mac diagnostics. In this article, we will tell you how to run and use the "Apple Hardware Functional Test" and "Apple Diagnostics".
With the help of regular diagnostic tools, you can effectively detect hardware malfunctions (problems with a hard drive, solid state drive, RAM, GPU, motherboard and other nooks and crannies of iron). How to do it?
On which Macs which utility
Regardless of the Mac model (MacBook, iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) and the year it was released, the operating system includes a hardware self-diagnosis utility. In computers that were released before June 2013, it is called the "Apple Hardware Test" (Apple Hardware Test - AHT), and after - "Apple Diagnostics".
Before running any of the utilities, be sure to disable all peripherals(including optical drives, if such antiquity still exists) except for the keyboard, mouse, display and Ethernet adapter. Some versions of OS X Lion and later may require Ethernet or Wi-Fi to run the internet version of AHT. It is no different from the offline counterpart.
To use AHT, be sure to connect your MacBook to a power source.
List of keyboard shortcuts
If there is no mouse, then the following shortcuts will come in handy:
- Option (⌥) + D: run internet diagnostics;
- Command (⌘) + G: start operation;
- Command (⌘) + L: display a list of languages;
- Command (⌘) + R: run the test again;
How do I use the Apple Hardware Functional Test or Apple Diagnostics?
Note: The Apple Hardware Functional Test and Apple Diagnostics work in the same way. The only caveat is that Apple Diagnostics requires an active Internet connection to run, and the interface will be much prettier.
1. Turn on or restart your Mac if it is turned on.
2. While powering on, press and hold the "D" key until the gray boot screen appears, then wait a few minutes for the AHT configuration to complete. During the download, the following icon will be displayed:
3. Now select the language and press the button to the right (if a mouse is not connected to the computer, then select the language using the arrows, and enter using the "Enter" key).
4. After the ANT console loads up, select one of the tests you want to run.
Main test- press the "Test" button, or the T or "Enter" key.
Full test- under the "Test" button, the "Perform advanced test" checkbox.
After the test is completed, the results will be displayed in a window located in the lower right corner of the console.
To exit ANT, click the Restart or Shut Down button at the bottom of the window.
What do the results say?
If during the test, problems with the hardware are found, then get ready to contemplate the error and some explanatory details.
You can decipher AHT errors on the Apple technical forum, and in general I recommend that you go there first of all when looking for solutions to problems with apple gadgets. True, you will need knowledge of English at least with a dictionary.
Apple Diagnostics error codes and their decoding can be viewed.
In any case, if it was not possible to avoid repairs at the service center, we strongly recommend that you contact only certified specialists who specialize exclusively in Apple technology. It will cost a lot, but buying a new gadget is much more expensive. It’s better to forget about the basement workshops “at Uncle Vasya’s”. Repairing apple devices requires a very meticulous approach and advanced skills.

Determining the cause of a malfunction is the very first thing to start with. macbook repair. And the point here is not that “this is how it should be”, but that replacing components in Apple laptops is a very costly process, so you should be sure that it is really necessary.
Service cost:
The problems that a MacBook user may encounter can be divided into two groups:
Software
They are associated with incorrect installation and operation of the operating system. Mac systems OS X or software. In this case, problems occur directly during or after working with any application, or may appear with a certain frequency.
They are caused by a malfunction in the operation of laptop modules such as a MacBook motherboard, HDD, matrix, etc., in which case repair or replacement of MacBook components will be required.
MacBook Self-Diagnostic Steps: What You Can Do Before Contacting a Service Center
- If you excluded software failure, the cause of the problem may lie in the connected, but not working correctly equipment. Turn off the device and try disconnecting all external equipment, leaving only the mouse. If the laptop started working normally, then further diagnostics of the MacBook will consist in alternately connecting the equipment and turning on the laptop. This way you can determine what exactly caused the problem.
- If this does not help, and the laptop continues to work in an incorrect mode, it is worth checking the hard drive, as well as eliminating problems with access rights. There are two programs for diagnosing a disk in a MacBook - Disk Utility and the fsck command (the latter is used for Macbooks with OS X 10.4 or earlier). The check must be carried out in safe mode.
- MacBooks with OS X 10.7 and later can be diagnosed using the Hardware Functional Test, and for devices that went on sale in July 2013 or later, Apple Diagnostics. It is very important to turn off all external equipment, as well as connect the laptop to the network.
- To enter the MacBook diagnostic mode, you need to hold down the D button after turning on the laptop. A gray screen will appear, and you will be able to run the hardware check utility (you can select full check or partial). If the diagnosis is successful and the cause of the failure is identified, a message will be displayed with a record of the corresponding error.
Full diagnostics of MacBook - only in the service center
The ability to independently diagnose a MacBook is, of course, wonderful, but you can get a complete picture of the performance of a laptop only by contacting a service center. For example, if the computer does not turn on or maintenance has not been carried out, the cooling system has failed, the battery has been damaged, or Charger, it will be possible to determine the cause of the malfunction only after disassembling the laptop and ringing the circuit. Similar diagnostics will be required for the MacBook even if it has fallen or been flooded with liquid.
Disassembling an Apple laptop is not easy even for a specialist, so you should not try to open the case yourself and get the components. Contact the service center - and the MacBook will be diagnosed thoroughly, and the wizard will be able to determine the exact cause of the equipment malfunction.
Specify the exact price for repairs with the manager by phone.

Good day!
I have a MacBook Pro 2011 Unibody. I periodically clean it and change the thermal paste. During the last replacement of thermal paste (parsing, removing the motherboard), I inadvertently damaged (torn off) the touchpad cable. Having decided that I would use the mouse before replacing it, I collected it, which, in general, I do not for the first time and found that the keyboard does not work either. After that, I disassembled and checked the keyboard cable a couple more times, but there was no result. The keyboard is silent. ((Tell me what could be the problem? Can a non-working touchpad for example be somehow connected with the keyboard? Or maybe another option? And how much does the touchpad cable, keyboard and cost of work cost?
Thank you!
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, you need to diagnose, maybe it's the touchpad trailing cable or the connector and the keyboard cable is also damaged, you need to look, the cost of replacing the cable is 4500r, since it comes with the touchpad. Our diagnostics are free.

Problem with discrete monitor~ Daniel ~ 05/31/2016
Hello, I have an MBP 13" late 2011, when a second monitor is connected via the Mini DP to VGA adapter, the image appears on it for a second and disappears. If you leave it like that for a minute, the poppy starts to slow down and artifacts appear. ~1360x780, everything works fine, and the monitor works (although sometimes it flickers, about once every 30 minutes).The problem is most likely not in the software (I checked both on OSX and on Windows via Boot Camp, reinstalled the OS) and not with the adapter (I checked on MB 13" 2010, everything works fine in 1920x1080). What could be the problem? The card reader also does not work (the system sees it, but does not read the cards), so the problem is not in the video card, but in the motherboard?
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, apparently the point is in the bridge they have both video and power management

Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, perhaps there is no contact in the keyboard cable or it's in the track pad, since the keyboard is powered through it, you need to diagnose
Poppy 725RS / A does not load ~ Andrey ~ 03-19-2016
Hello!! I have a situation like this, I will describe it step by step. The Mac was turned on and in the operating mode in the opera, two horizontal lines and the laptop freezes, I rebooted it with the button and after that it didn’t boot up anymore, that is, it turns on, the sound turns on after the apple appears and in a circle it loads on a gray screen, after which the boot wheel disappears and the gray screen remains. I tried to boot in safe mode while holding Shift, the loading scale reaches half and disappears and a gray screen remains. Clamped Option chose the OS installation disk, the boot wheel goes on like when you turn on the poppy and disappears, but the screen becomes illuminated black. Can you tell me what it could be??

macbook pro 15~ Max ~ 11-03-2016
Good day! For several weeks now I have been struggling with one problem, the computer turns off spontaneously. Previously, the picture froze and the poppy turned off, but now the screen is sharply black and turns off. (May work for several hours or a couple of minutes) Diagnosed hardware equipment gave error PPT004. But also installed on the computer in parallel with Mac os x, Windows. Which, to my surprise, works stably and does not turn off. So the problem is in the Mac software. Here's what I did: I completely reinstalled the software, did a SMC reset, and read the logs, (system, diagnostics, etc.) did not find anything suspicious. How to be?
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, you need to diagnose, maybe the problem is in the video card, although it should also appear on Windows

Problems with MacBook Pro ~ Nikita ~ 12-21-2015
Good afternoon. Unpleasant and unexpected things happen to my poppy. The Mac is just over a year old, has never let me down and worked perfectly. The following has been happening to him for the last three days:
My Mac has over 20GB free space, but in recent days, as soon as I turn on my poppy and the memory melts in a matter of minutes, it displays a message that boot disk full, requires to close all programs (and closes them himself) and the memory shows 0kb. That is, the work of the poppy can take no more than 10 minutes. After that, I have to recharge it (with which, unexpectedly, I also had problems and it does not react every time). After the reboot again, there are about 27 free GB, and each time to check it, I delete a lot of things from the poppy to clean it up.
In this situation, before going to bed, I turned off the poppy, in the morning I found that it did not turn off and at the same time the battery charge was at zero. The monitor, as far as I remember, went out.
I'm used to the fact that after leaving for 15 minutes, the poppy goes to sleep. Having gathered in the morning on business and returned in the evening, I found that the poppy's monitor was turned on like a few hours ago. He didn't go to sleep.
With what all this can be connected?? All this has been happening since December 18 (4th day), before that it worked properly.
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, you need to diagnose, probably a malfunction in the power circuits

MacBook Pro retina 15 does not turn on ~ Ivan ~ 05-19-2015
Good afternoon! Macbook retina 15 2012 won't turn on Most likely something happened due to overvoltage. A heater was turned on in a nearby outlet when he turned on the beech in the network. After that, the beech stopped turning on, and where the heater was turned on, the mains filter burned out. The charge is whole, I checked it on another poppy. When you insert the charge into the poppy, the light on the charge does not glow, but if you insert it into another working poppy and then into my non-working one, it lights up in orange! I would have given it to your center for diagnostics and treatment for a long time, but I am very far away, and in our city there is no apple service. What would you advise?
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, you clearly have a problem in the power circuits of the motherboard pin
MacBook Pro 15 (Late 2008)~ Dmitry ~ 16-05-2015
Hello, the insulation near the L-connector peeled off, I decided to solder it - I crushed the LED and broke off a piece of the board when I tried to remove it. Mac from the network worked, but stopped charging the battery. I ordered a new cord with an L-connector, while waiting for the cord, the battery was discharged to 1-2%. Managed to turn off the Mac in normal mode.
Soldered a new cord, connected, the Mac does not start. Installed the battery - it started. But! The indicator on the L-connector is NOT ON! (neither green nor orange) with sinned on Chinese fake, I thought there was no LED at all. Mac works from the network, sees the battery BUT does not charge. With the Mac running, I pulled out the battery, worked for some time from the mains, then hooked it and pulled out the plug. Mac passed out and then stopped starting with or without a battery. I read that resetting the SMC can fix the startup issue. But when resetting, the Mac does not react in any way, the indicators are silent, it still does not start.
Since the battery was puffed up, and then there was a full discharge - I ordered a new A1281. PRAM/NVRAM reset after forced start* (without battery). Also no change.
*(Turn off MagSafe, hold Power for 5 seconds without releasing, connect MagSafe, hold Power for another 5 seconds, release, wait a couple of seconds, start the Mac). The Mac forced to start, but with all the problems that arise when you need to reset the SMC (Indicators-Fans-Lighting-Power).
A new battery arrived: Mac forced it to start *, but writes: No battery Power source: battery. (B-rr-rrrr)
I took a Mac (without batteries), charging and went to a neighboring city, found an Apple point. The seller turned out to be Air with 60w, connected it to Magsafe in mine - the indicator turned green, but after 10 seconds it dimmed and soon went out completely (what the hell - I think everything! Burned his MagSafe to the guy), plugged it back into my Air - it works. My Mac did not start due to lack of power. They took my 85w with a soldered new cord - L-conn. Inserted into Air - lit up green !!! Hooray! The cord still works. I put it in my back and no reaction.
Results: I replaced the cord with an L-connector, bought a new battery.
The Mac starts only forcibly, SMC is not reset. The LED on the plug does not light up. On the battery charge indicator, the 6th indicator constantly shines, which is from the network - which is from the battery. I checked that power is supplied to the MagSafe board and from it to the Motherboard in full. All contacts are called. Maybe there is some kind of diagnostic that can still be done at home in addition to (D-at startup), everything is clean there.
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, everything clearly points to the power circuits of the motherboard. Only diagnostics in the SC will help

What about him? ~ Evgeny Voevodin ~ 07-04-2014
Hello!
I have a macbook air 13" mid 2012. OSX 10/9/2 The problem is the following: it works fine, does not get hot, does not bug, incl. under load, only if loaded. And it is loaded within a couple of hours - easily, maybe longer. First, a white screen for 20-40 minutes, then the user's choice, the same amount, it slows down unrealistically, asterisks when entering a password are displayed with a delay of at least 5 seconds. But after that, when you exit sleep mode - no problems.
The problem is that I am in Sevastopol, local craftsmen can’t advise anything other than replacing the motherboard, and they can’t do it either ... I’m thinking about buying a new one, or are these some typical problems for a specific problem with a certain final cost. Thank you!
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, often there are problems in Hard SSD drives and cables on the MacBook motherboard could also fail south bridge. A complete diagnosis is required.
Installing the operating system macbook a1181 ~ Stanislav ~ 17-03-2014
Good afternoon, I had the following problem, I will try to describe step by step.
I have a macbook 1181, so to speak, I inherited it, the previous owner did not spare him much.
At some point, the operating system stopped loading. After starting the laptop, an apple icon appeared and a rotating circle under it, then nothing happened, I tried to leave it for the night, the same thing in the morning.
According to the previous owner, this has already happened to him, the operating system also crashed, it was solved by reinstalling it. Latest OS 10.7.4
When you try to reinstall the OS on the same 10.7.4, the system hangs in the process of preparing for installation. Waited several hours, no result.
I replaced the hard drive in the laptop, formatted it according to the instructions, tried to install OS 10.6.3, the same situation, it will write down in the last minutes of loading. At some point, it loaded the post, after which the screen went blank. I forcibly rebooted it, and left it to boot from the hard drive, it turned around (30 minutes) and the melody played, but the screen remained gray.
The last time I tried to reinstall the OS, the process was hanging for about 30 minutes before completion (while the screen worked, but did not respond to the touchpad).
I also tried changing bootable flash drive, The result is the same.
Tell me please, what could be the matter?
Macsave Center response: Good afternoon, this is often the problem with hard drive, in your laptop it is already time to change the hard drive, because in the Mac A1181 during this time more than one hard drive has changed at the legs, as an option, the north bridge may be, but this is rare.
