MacBook Pro :: Sudden Shutdown Without Low Battery Warning

Nov 13, 2008

I bought a MacBook Pro September 2007, the last months I have experienced a sudden shutdown of it without any low battery warning. After browsing around the forums I found a app called Coconut Battery which I installed. This is what it showed me: What I can do to get my battery performance better? Do I have to invest in a new battery? And aren't the prices on those extreme?

MacBook Pro :: Sudden Shutdown Without Warning - General System Error

Apr 23, 2010

I've had my MBP since Oct of 2007. About 2 weeks ago it would not turn on so I had the logic board replaced. After I got it back it would randomly shut down, the only solution I could do is take out the battery and work at the lower clockspeed but it still shut down without warning, just less frequently. I thought it might be the power cord or the battery so I got those replaced but it is still happening. The first day I had the battery (yesterday) it worked fine, no random shutdowns, I calibrated the battery per apple instructions and today it worked great (during charge up and plugged in at full charge) for about 5 hours, then it shut down, I turned it back on and it shut down shortly after, I reset the SMC by taking out the battery and holding down the power button and putting it back in and it shut down again.

Then I tried to run the hardware test and it shut down again so now I am posting this out of frustration. I also reset the pram and it shut down again. Now it won't stay on for more than getting through the login screen. I don't have applecare but they replaced the logic board for no cost (which I don't fully understand), I'd rather not take it back but I will if you guys have no ideas. I looked up (with difficulty) the previous shutdown code: -2 (http://www.macwizard.com/errors.html) and it said it was a "General System Error (VBL Mgr, Queue) -2 vTypErr invalid queue element" but I have no idea what that means.

OS X :: Shutdown Mystery - Closing Warning Box Appear

Jan 16, 2010

This is a mystery. I recently switched a number of files and applications between computers, installing some stuff from a 2001 vintage iMac on a Mini, OSX 10.4.11. Now when I go to shut down the Mini, up comes the closing warning box. Previously, pressing the return key would activate the Shutdown, now nothing happens so I must always click the Shutdown box using the mouse.

MacBook Pro :: No Low Battery Warning?

Sep 2, 2014

I replaced the battery in my MBP which wouldn't charge or run for more than 1 hour.  Now, with the new battery, I have 2 issues:

1--battery status in menu bar does not change.  It shows it's at 28% all the time

2--I not longer get a warning that my battery is about to run out. 

This is a drag since the computer keeps going to sleep on me because it's run out of juice unbeknownst to me.

OS X :: MacBook Shutdown On Battery Drain?

Jul 21, 2009

My MacBook shuts down when the battery drains all the way down. I'm pretty sure back in the days of PPC lappies, they went to sleep before the battery died. Is it supposed to shut down, or is something goofed?

MacBook Pro :: Battery Drains While Shutdown?

Feb 3, 2010

I've got a 17" Macbook Pro from May of 2007 that is serving me well now in my last year of college. The battery health began to deteriorate last year so I replaced it with a new one from Apple (a hefty $120).

Recently, the past two times that I have left for class (with my MBP fully charged) it has drained while shutdown (completely turned off NOT just "asleep"). When I say it drains, I mean it has roughly 2-5% of its battery life left giving me about 20 minutes of power until I get back home for the day.

Here's the kicker: the battery is in good condition with plenty of cycles left (see system profile for power below.)

Any thoughts? Try a new battery? Could it be the charger? What system components, if any, run during a complete shutdown and could these be malfunctioning?

MacBook Pro :: Just Shutdown While Using - Tried Removing Battery And SMC To No Avail

Apr 13, 2012

My 17 inch Mac pro laptop just shut down and I can't get it to turn on again. This has happen multiple times over the last six months. Looked through the forum and tried removing the battery and resetting the SMC control to no avail. I was having issues also with the screen a month ago but that resolved by itself. When I took it into the genius bar for screen problems I was told I'd probably need a new CPU board because the vram may be going bad and they just don't fix that problem. Have held off because of a potential $500 repair and awaiting ivy bridge technology. How I can restart my portable. Right now you turn on the machine and the front light stays on for 2 sec and you hear the machine click off?

PowerPC :: IBook Battery Charge Low - Shuts Down Without Warning

Oct 7, 2007

My school-computer (iBook 14" 1,42 Ghz G4, running OSX 10.4.10) has developed some unpleasant habbits lately. With lots of batterycharge left, 28-50%, it shuts down without warning. I try to restart it, and it gets to various stages of booting before shutting down again. It won't run untill i plug in the powercable, and then it starts of from almost half full charge. I did a bit of searching on the forums, and installed coconutbattery with the attached (depressing) result. Tried resetting the pmu, which didn't stop it from shutting down on me again 46 mins later. Does this mean I need to replace the battery?

MacBook Pro :: Random Shutdown On Battery With High Cpu Load

Mar 19, 2012

I've been having an issue with my Macbook Pro, it keeps turning off while on battery power while I am playing a game (Starcraft II) despite having sufficent charge remaining. It won't turn back on until I plug it back in. Usually when I turn it back on the time and date are reset and the password to my wifi has to be rentered. The most recent time this happened after I plugged it back in the battery still had 79% charge remaining. I've tried recalibrating the battery and resetting the SMC both which did not solve the problem. The system report states that the battery's condition is normal and I ran a hardware test which also came back normal.

MacBook Pro :: "Service Battery" Warning - What Can Be Done

Apr 17, 2012

My 15" Mid-2009 Macbook Pro is giving the 'Service Battery" warning. System information says: 

"Battery Information:   Model Information:  Serial Number:          W0934AD9777VA  Manufacturer:          SMP  Device Name:     bq20z451  Pack Lot Code:          0  PCB Lot Code:          0  Firmware Version:          3  Hardware Revision:          3  Cell Revision:          100  Charge Information:  Charge Remaining (mAh):          4477  Fully Charged:          Yes  Charging:     No  Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          4477  Health Information:  Cycle Count:          377  Condition:          Service Battery  Battery Installed:          Yes  Amperage (mA):          -1157  Voltage (mV):          12156"

So it looks as if the battery is OK, but it is not charging properly. I obviously have to take it to be repaired - but what can they do? I understood that they can't replace the battery, so what are the options? It has only been through 377 charge cycles - that doesn't sound a lot to me - but is it? Shouldn't a laptop that's only just over 2 1/2 years old still have a perfectly good battery?

PowerPC :: Dual G5 Shutdown Randomly - PMU Forced Shutdown, Cause = -122

Sep 8, 2006

My system has randomly shut down twice now in the last two days. Dual G5 2.3. I checked the console log, which I know very little about, and it said this:

localhost kernel[0]: ApplePMU::PMU forced shutdown, cause = -122

Two questions-

what's the -122 code mean?

Do you think resetting the PMU would be the solution to this?

Last night my macbook air turned off without warning and wouldn't turn back on until I tried again this morning. A few weeks ago I had my battery and logic board replaced and since then it the screen has gone blue for a few seconds and then back to normal a few times, (in case this is related at all). Is there something I should do to make sure this doesn't happen again.
